From this week's paper:

Brooklyn-based indie-punks The Shondes represent a real and personalized response to the call for a kind of music that speaks to the diversity of America well into the 21st Century. Formed by bassist and vocalist Louisa Solomon and violinist Elijah Oberman in 2006, the group immediately established itself as a radicalized personal entity. (Members first met original drummer Temim Fruchter through activism in opposition to the Republican National Convention in 2004.)
