All in My Head, the latest EP from the Maggie Denning led NYC quartet Tetchy, continues to cement them as one of the more creative and fun punk bands around. As a songwriter Denning continues to examine and attack life with equal amounts of passion and fury, unleashing strengths and a new level of depth.
Tetchy’s “Married” video is filled with juxtaposition of wild thrashing and raucous partying combined with rituals of the marriage ceremony and events leading up to such. Maggie Denning took some time away from her schedule and shenanigans to respond to some email questions on the future and evolution of the group.
When a shift in Tetchy’s line-up led to an uncertain future, Maggie Denning decided to write and record home demos on her phone, a simple exercise to keep the creativity flowing. Those demos took on a life of their own, taking shape as the latest Tetchy record, the minimalist and psychedelic Smaller / Better EP.
Tetchy have never been shy to tackle issues that are important with their music and songwriting, and after a trying couple of years, the band have an exciting and fruitful future to look forward to. In a recent interview they discuss their new video for "Backyard,” the struggles of dealing with grief and trauma, and the path forward for the band.
Hounds is the debut EP from NYC band Tetchy, and it’s one full of roiled up emotional bloodletting and resolve over beds of muscular instrumentation. Maggie Denning’s vocals are a focal point as she lays out her bare emotions in an always powerful manner, be it in letting go of fears or detrimental relationships.
Brooklyn’s Tetchy are carrying their own combustible energy on “Quitter,” the band’s second single and the first to come from their upcoming debut EP, Hounds. The record follows months spent playing live throughout Brooklyn, and their energy is ever apparent on “Quitter,” a perfect introduction to their creeping and blistering grunge inspired sound.
