New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Toledo Ohio based project Equipment has premiered a video for brand new single "One or Both". The premiere was hosted by Clrvynt who said "Equipment expertly weaves pretty real feelings and emotions into good-natured pop-rock."
"The video was really fun to shoot." Nick Stoup said, "For some reason I really like seeing how uncomfortable I can make myself without finally calling it quits. "I break a guitar for the first time in the video, which probably symbolizes something. Shooting didn't take very long, yet paint was still coming out of my ear the next day."
Equipment's debut EP "Chump" is due out November 25th via All
Sounds and Counter Intuitive Records. They have released their first single "Commuter" for free download on Bandcamp. Commuter is a perfect introduction, in under three minutes Equipment cycles through jazzy arpeggios, fuzzed out powerchords, and heart-on-sleeve lyrics, all about the commuter college angst.
Equipment is the brain child of 19 year old wunderkind Nick Stoup, who combines the immediacy of the great 90's power pop bands (Weezer, early Green Day) with the youthful DIY energy of bands like
Modern Baseball or Carseat Headrest.
Equipment is the pop-rock project of 19 year old Nick Stoup, who does his best to translate more personal feelings and experiences into catchy, hook-laden power pop songs. Formed while Nick was still in high school and based in Toledo Ohio, he often collaborates with other local musicians both in-studio and on-stage. His debut EP "Chump" produced by Toledo rock group Secret Space (Equal Vision Records) is a 5 song, 12 minute gut punch of catchy melodies and fuzzy guitars. Due out 11/25 on All
Sounds and Counter Intuitive Records, "Chump" calls to mind pop-rock giants Weezer, Green Day,
Modern Baseball, Car Set Headrest, and kind of even Big Star, put stays humble with its down to earth lyrics.
