Old News is a Midwest based Math-Rock quartet. Comprised of jazz-school graduates and Emo scene veterans alike, the group exploded onto the midwest indie scene in late 2017 with two back to back EPs, ‘Consolation Prize’ and ‘Castro’. In the short time since their inception Old News has already carved out a niche for its experimental, genre bending take on Emo and Math-Rock, all the while opening for scene darlings like Elephant Gym, The Obsessives, and Perspective, a Lovely Hand to Hold.
