Chill Russell is an alternative rock band from Austin, Texas. DIY Magazine referred to the band’s sound as a “psych-inflected nod to The Beach Boys and The Strokes… they’re not a million miles away from chart-bothering beasts The Black Keys.”

Their sound draws from 1960’s guitar powerhouses and 1990’s alt-rockers, while simultaneously creating their own unique sound. “Their affection for the greats of the past is apparent through their fast, loud, and fun dynamic.” (KUTX 98.9)

The trio, which was formed in the summer of 2015, have toured in the US from Austin to NYC, to Chicago and the country’s Midwest. Having performed as an official SXSW artist in 2017 and 2018, the band have been influential in infiltrating Austin’s rock scene.

The band released their self-titled debut full length album in May 2018 and have already gained popularity amongst local music critics. “The record is both easily digested but has enough complexity to entertain your average music nerd.” (Greg Ackerman, The Cosmic Clash)

The bittersweet incandescent shimmer of The Cuckoos is deeply rooted in classic rock, dance club funk, and neo-psych art soul, earning the young Austin, Texas band a remarkable reputation in just a few short years. The swampy groove arising from the collision of New Wave romanticism, swirling experimentalism, and loud punky guitars is somehow as perfect as it was improbable, decisively demonstrated on record and stage.

I Hate Love, the band’s debut album, is a musical manifesto. The diverse ten-song outing crackles with the electricity of The Cuckoos coming into their own. 
The band’s first self-titled EP earned favorable comparisons to Tame Impala, Joy Division, and Pink Floyd from esteemed publications like Classic Rock Magazine and Relix. I Hate Love is rooted in their primal psych-rock-post-punk soul but broadens its scope. It’s a new signature sound, one that will appeal equally to folks weaned on essential art-rock like Talking Heads and those attracted to retro-future acts like Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats.

I Hate Love was produced and mixed in Austin by Chris “Frenchie” Smith (…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, The Toadies, Fastball) at the Grammy-nominated producer’s studio, The Bubble, and mastered by Gavin Lurssen (Chris Cornell, Frank Zappa, Iggy Pop, Kid Cudi) and Reuben Cohen (Leon Russell, Dweezil Zappa, The Motels).

Mothra Stewart is the brainchild of New York City based musician and songwriter Marc LeFebvre. After relocating to New York from Austin, TX, LeFebvre took the moniker as a creative vehicle to write, record, and unleash his music on the world. In the spring of 2017, Marc parted ways with the group he co-founded, Austin based indie rock outfit Chill Russell. Building on the group's experience with college and independent radio, television, touring, and showcasing as official artists at festivals such as South By Southwest and Mondo.NYC, LeFebvre birthed Mothra Stewart. His sound can be described as a mix of lo-fi, shoegaze, noise, and post punk. Tinges of Deftones, The Pixies, Modest Mouse, and Radiohead, paint Mothra Stewart's catalog. Mothra Stewart's music is available everywhere through Green Witch Recordings.
