MYLES BULLEN

Covered in glitter, Myles Bullen is a genre- fluid, art-poet, ukulele- punk rapper, from Portland, Maine USA. Myles has toured nearly every state in the US, Japan and many European countries performing packed DIY shows at music venues, colleges, recovery centers, prisons, festivals, and libraries. As a person in long term recovery, Myles sings and screams songs about grief, mental health, addiction, navigating identity, relationships, and cartoon lore. Their sound has been described as “grief core, whimsical devastation, and upbeat sadness that leaves listeners feeling better somehow” 

Myles has acquired a small dedicated fan base of patch sewing folk punks, dramatic poets who write by candlelight, newly sober folks who drink coffee at night, hip hop heads who stand in the back of the club nodding in approval, anti fascists baristas and coop cashiers, queer zine makers, and moms. Albums out on Fake Four Inc. and Back on the Grind Records.

Myles has played shows w/ Sage Francis, Kimya Dawson, billy woods, Codefendants, and Apes of the State

Putting the "post-" in "folk punk", Pictureskew is what would have happened if Pigeon Pit went goth instead of country. Once described by a touring band as "like a lil political rally" – immediately before being mistaken for teenagers – they're back from an extended break with songs that are somehow even more direct and even more cryptic. Still challenging the legitimacy of the state monopoly on violins.
