Coldswell is an alternative rock band from Cleveland, Ohio comprised of brothers Evan (guitar, vox) 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 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 decided to record 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, most notably from the recommendation of their professor to have Evan fill in on drums for Ian’s music theory composition project when the drummer initially set to perform failed to show. 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, the single Cars & Planes in September 2017, and their first full-length album Void Calls in 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 its 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. Press: All Music: “Cleveland-based trio Coldswell pays homage to the earsplitting guitar-powered rock of Dinosaur Jr., the Cure's bass-driven sense of melody, and the enveloping embrace of shoegaze on its new LP, Void Calls. There's also a dash of turn of the century melodic post-hardcore in the vein of bands like Hopesfall and Thursday, which gives some of the songs a more jagged edge”. Rock N’ Load: “Coldswell delivers a grunge-tinged, thought-provoking sound, drawing on the width and breadth of the band’s technical and theoretical musical prowess. The addition of Hudson on bass was a seamless interjection into what had previously been the Krise brothers’ duo. Punchy and cultured, with nods to the likes of The Cure, Dinosaur Jr & Rich People all shining through”. Daily Music Roll: “Coldswell makes the perfect blend of addictive and aggressive rock music of the 90s with the present evolution. The songs are themed on lush, beautiful, and dark stages of life. The reflective record “Dark Eyes” shows how they’ve grown emotionally with creative and deep lyrics that will shiver every bone of your body”.
