Readership writes songs that feel like they’ve been unearthed from a lost mixtape of yesteryear—bright & jangling guitars, a punchy rhythm section, and melodies that stick long after the music stops.

Since forming in 2014, the band has balanced power-pop shimmer with post-punk bite, drawing comparisons to “the rock anthems of R.E.M. and U2” (John Vettese, WXPN). Songwriter Adrian Morse anchors it all with storytelling that runs from historical yarns to everyday blunders, praised for a “rare knack of taking very poppy melodies and colliding them with some post-punk riffs” (Cougar Microbes).

After 2020’s Future Perfect, Readership released a string of singles culminating in the 2024 EP Nostalgia, Paraphrase, and Plagiarism—three songs that trace their full range: danceable post-punk, shadowy rock, and heart-on-sleeve power pop.
