Coldswell is an alternative rock band from Cleveland, Ohio comprised of brothers Evan (guitar, vocals) and Brandon Krise (drums) and bassist Ian Hudson. Formed in 2015, Coldswell began as a project of Evan’s endeavor exploring the sounds of grunge and shoegaze bands. Evan would try out these new songs with Brandon behind the drums. The two brothers had a history of playing in each other’s bands from high school throughout college often switching guitar and drumming duties depending on the project.

After practicing for a few months Evan recorded the four songs he and his brother had been jamming on in their parents basement. Evan recorded these four songs which ended up becoming the groups first EP Weary. Evan and Ian met each other from studying Music Technology at Kent State University. After reviewing each other’s material and being fond of Ian’s respected playing abilities, Evan extended an offer to join the band. Along with Weary, Coldswell released Ruminate in August 2016, and the single Cars & Planes in September 2017. The band released their first full-length album Void Calls on June 21 2019.

With the release of the Void Calls LP, Coldswell takes a fresh approach to some classic genres to give the record a life all it's own. Lush with addictive progressions, an aggressive and catchy vocal approach, and an almost 90's alt undertone, the record boasts the aesthetic of alternative  rock anthems.

"I think we have grown as songwriters by not keeping all of our influences away from the project. The songs have a little bit of each of us in them and they show off what kind of music we like and what that music means to us”. – Evan Krise on Void Calls.   

Void Calls is available now for streaming and downloads on most major digital outlets and the band is currently performing in the Midwest in support of their release.
