The Tisburys

Where They’re From: Philadelphia, PA

Who They Are:

Philly-based rock band The Tisburys made their name the old-fashioned way – playing hundreds of shows, showing up at hundreds more, and putting in the effort to grow their scene and help make Philly music better.

Going back to their early pre-pandemic EPs, each release in their discography has gotten a little better, a little sharper, and a little bigger. And with their 4th album, A Still Life Revisited, The Tisburys moved up a league, with lead singer Tyler Asay and the band penning their best batch of songs yet.

Produced at Headroom Studios and Dr. Dog’s Mt. Slippery with their longtime engineer/producer Justin Nazario, it shows a band still rooted in their love of ‘90s radio rock and classic power pop sounds from The Replacements to The Gin Blossoms, Petty to Wilco. However, they are also breaking out of those big shadows and forging their own path. Songs like “The Anniversaries” and “Forever” are perfect examples, both having been played extensively on XPN since their release.
