Scrunchies

Scrunchies is a Minneapolis, MN-based “post-everything rock n roll” trio formed by Laura Larson and Danielle Cusack. Scrunchies exploded onto the music scene in 2018 with their debut album, Stunner (Forged Artifacts Records), a set of heavy and melodic rock scorchers tinged with moments of sweetness. Their sophomore album, Feral Coast (Dirtnap Records, State Champion Records; 2021),  continued pushing the edges of the soft and the heavy, recalling the messy and cathartic energy of late '80s grunge, punk, and post-punk bands. They have since toured with Built To Spill, played Treefort Fest in Boise, and performed with bands such as Screaming Females and Otoboke Beaver.

Larson earned notoriety early on, leading brash punk band Baby Guts, in which she was awarded “Best Female Vocalist” by Twin Cities alt-weekly City Pages. She was also a member of seminal dance-punk drums and bass trio, Kitten Forever. Cusack, raised by veterans of the '70s NYC art and music scene, also came to prominence in the Twin Cities music scene as a teenager with her indie grunge rock band, Bruise Violet.

Larson and Cusack began Scrunchies after mutual admiration of each others' bands (as well as playing together in a Buzzcocks cover band called Buzzcunts). Jeremy Warden (Double Grave) officially joined Scrunchies after serving as a touring bassist. They are currently finishing production on their third studio album, Colossal.
