Mar 28 Ottobre 2025Live al Freakout Club
PILE (US)
Between their tireless D.I.Y. work ethic and constantly evolving sound, Pile have earned both a large homegrown following and the respect of their peers. Led by singer/guitarist Rick Maguire, the band evolved with a string of increasingly complex albums released throughout the 2010s, bringing a varied instrumentation to their often-aggressive sound on albums like 2017's A Hairshirt of Purpose or 2019's Green and Gray. The band took a different approach to their 2021 album Songs Known Together, Alone, which saw Maguire refashioning the band's older material as a group of solo songs. Pile returned in 2023 with a retooled lineup and another sonic shift on the texturally dense All Fiction.
Pile was initially the solo project of Boston-based singer/guitarist Rick Maguire. He issued a pair of rough but engaging lo-fi albums that segued between experimental folk, jagged indie rock, and elements of post-rock. Transforming Pile into a collective, Maguire assembled the full-time lineup of guitarist Matt Becker, bassist Matt Connery, and drummer Kris Kuss in 2010 and released Magic Isn't Real, establishing the dark and noisy tones that would become one of the group's hallmarks. Following a 2011 EP titled Big Web, Pile signed with Exploding in Sound and made their label debut with 2012's widely touted Dripping. With each release, Pile's sound continued to evolve, adding piano, banjo, and strings on 2017's A Hairshirt of Purpose, which ran the gamut from slow, orchestrated tracks to massive noisy assaults. Jack White's Third Man label issued Pile's first live album, Live at Third Man Records, in late 2017. By this point Maguire had moved from Boston to Nashville and enlisted new member Chappy Hull (guitar) and Alex Molini (bass) to join him.
