The Thing With Feathers are an alt-rock, indie pop and dance powerhouse, fueled by four of Nashville’s favorite fools: David Welcsh (vocals), Sean Carroll (bass), Alex Hendricks (lead guitar) and Chris Roussell (drums).
The Feathers footing found solid ground soon after the modest success of their debut with ‘Figure It Out’, their sophomore single, released in May of 2019. The infectious hook and pop-sensitive rock sound helped the track amass over a million streams on Spotify since its release, quickly becoming a fan-favorite at live shows and proving a powerful catalyst in reaching an international audience. As the band continued to forge their distinct sound through their next several releases (‘Blue’, ‘What You Want’, and ‘Midwest Daydreams’) they also perfected their live sound and on-stage presence through various shows in Nashville, going out on a perfect high note with a sold-out show at the High Watt a mere three weeks prior to the initial pandemic lockdown.
Embodying the punk ethos of DIY, the Feathers bring the kind of eccentric, electric energy capable of catapulting a garage band, initially built for taking over college towns, in front of both underground and mainstream audiences alike. The crew’s unpracticed, quirky swagger coupled with stellar musicianship has resulted in a catalog of equally introspective and uncomplicated tunes, dedicated to booty-shakers everywhere.

The GB-001 brings the boombox into a whole new era. Inspired by the iconic ‘80s design, this neo-retro gem is packed with cutting-edge technology. Following the success of the WE-001 cassette player, it arrives just in time — with cassette sales skyrocketing by over 400% in the past decade — to bring analog sound roaring back.
With 104 watts of power delivered through four Hi-Fi speakers(two woofers for deep bass, two tweeters for crisp highs), the GB-001 turns any space into a full-on concert hall. It plays and records both Type I and Type II cassettes with a premium-grade mechanism, and an adjustable motor for ultra-stable playback.
But this boombox is more than a retro revival — it’s fully modern: Bluetooth 5.4, a rechargeable and replaceable battery, microphone input, fine-tuned sound controls(bass, treble, balance),backlit VU meters, and even an amp function for your guitar.
