Duel Ferns

Duel Ferns is a psychedelic rock band based out of Brooklyn, New York. Formed by TJ Perrin and Nicholas Comaratta in 2021, Duel Ferns started out as a simple two piece noise experiment as the two musicians shifted from synthesizers to analog instruments in their new Brooklyn studio. With Perrin on drums and Comaratta on fuzzed out bass guitar, the duo began creating repetitive groove sequences that meandered between meditative and explosive.


Content with the batch of new songs they had written, they looked to expand the sound of the band through new members to bring the songs to the stage in 2022. The first addition was guitarist Atedhe Rexha, also of local heavy rockers Indigo Fuzz. Rex instantly added distorted, soaring riffs to perfectly complement the open space yielded by the rhythm section. Next came Evan Dice, an electronic musician who often pairs his hardware sequenced creations with the sound of his swirling electric violin in his work as Secondary Five. Evan runs his violin through a variety of guitar pedals, giving it an otherworldly texture that often bewilders the listener as to the origins of the sound. The final piece to the puzzle was the vocal void filled by Charity Souza. A relative newcomer to the music space, Charity's raw energy, charisma and wit with the microphone glued the project together and added another layer of angst to the already fiery compositions.


Finally a 5-piece, they began performing live in Brooklyn in the summer of 2022, including a performance that was captured and recorded for the upcoming split cassette release Live 2022 with fellow psych-rockers Marjorine. 2023 will see them further refine their sound both in the studio and on stage with a debut album release on the horizon on Postseason Franchise Records.
