Formed by chance in 2022 in Chicago, Latter is the noise rock project of Philadelphia-born sound artist Meredith Haines and drummer Jonathan Alvarado (Beach Bunny). After a decade in the Philadelphia DIY scene, Haines had walked away from music entirely—burned out and disillusioned, she had given up for good. At 32, she was building a new life as a sound artist and college advisor. In July of that year, Haines and Alvarado met through mutual friends and began weekly jam sessions. What started as casual meetups quickly unearthed something deeper—a sound that felt urgent, raw, and necessary. Against all odds, Latter became Haines’ return to music.
