Doors Open: 8:00 PM
Music for your pet skeleton. Heavy weight and spooky vibes with pop tendencies. Eerie and ethereal, spider webs and sparkle.
Case Sensitive formed fall 2016, with members currently based in Raleigh/Chapel Hill, NC and Atlanta, GA. The band's sound is rooted in pop hooks through a fuzzed-out goth lens, infusing dreamy and dark elements into each song. The trio will release their first EP "Twin" spring 2019.
"Ethereal vocals combined with raucous stoner-rock-styled guitar riffs and a general DGAF attitude, all live at the heart of Case Sensitive’s sound." -Durham Beat

MUSEUM MOUTH
I asked Kory Urban, our bassist, how I should open this bio, and his response was “double click.” I’d say that basically sums up this band, but I think that’d actually be a lie. Don’t get me wrong–terrible jokes and a ringing sense of idiocy is definitely half of what we’re all about, but the other half is arguably more important–the songs.
I started Museum Mouth in 2009 after tricking my friend Graham into joining this “band” and teaching him a handful of rudimentary chord progressions I’d written on guitar (I’m TERRIBLE at guitar), funny enough this still happens now with our current guitarist Morgan Roberts. A lot has changed since this project was first conceived, but the sense of “I’m going to do this because I need to do this” is largely still our MO. From breakups, to loss, to coming out of the closet… Museum Mouth has been my diary since day 1 for better or for worse.
I definitely can’t say that we were the first band to patent the old “I’m gonna write about this obstacle that’s stunting me so I can understand it better and help myself cope” archetype cuz lol I’m pretty sure that’s what most bands in our climate STILL do. BUT I think we can all three agree that a lot of our carefree fun-loving demeanor stems from having this band as an outlet for those feelings that exist at the other end of the spectrum.
That’s not to say that we only write music when we’re at our saddest either. A handful of reviewers (yes, I read our reviews :/ and always will) have commented that our music says one thing–they typically use words like “upbeat” and seem to always say that we "tear through" things–but the lyrics say another and I love that! I like to think that contrast is what my brain looks like.
Just like I love that I’m a singing drummer who can’t multitask to save my life…and well, somehow I’m still alive and I’m still in this band so thank you everyone for putting up with me // us. Hope you stick around.

S.E. WARD
S.E Ward is a rock band from Chapel Hill, NC. Fronted by New England-native Sarah Ward, they hope to create sincere and emotionally moving music. "Leaving" was released last year on Bull City Records Presents to local acclaim and is the band's first LP. In the past they've shared the stage with acts like Julian Baker, Lucy Dacus, Valley Maker and Emperor X. For fans of Vashti Bunyan, Sharon Van Etten, Jason Molina or just generally heavy, beautiful, bummer tunes.
