Throwaway

“Experimentation at its best.” (Ghettoblaster Magazine)

Pinning down Throwaway’s genre is a daunting task - art rock? no wave? “geometrycore?” punk? post-punk?

Whatever you want to call it, Throwaway is also a mysterious figure with a paper bag for a head. She is surreally represented through live visuals in performances, and within the project’s vast wealth of videos.

Throwaway’s music acrobatically leaps around virtuosic riffs and unexpected rhythms. Their electric energy is “expressive and original” (The Public), with “aerodynamic rock-grit flavors of the likes of Primus or Deerhoof” (eCurrent). Or, in the more combative words of Ghettoblaster Magainze: “Throwaway is a force to be reckoned with, she’s just waiting for the rest of the world to catch up to her. Catch up motherfuckers.”

Throwaway’s newest release is 2022’s Hand That Takes, which was released on FPE Records. In 2019, Throwaway released their debut, WHAT?. Both received widespread acclaim. Throwaway and their bizarre music videos have been featured in the Detroit Metro Times, Post-Trash, the Detroit News, Ghettoblaster Magazine, Soundsphere Magazine, Tinnitst, It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine, and more.
