Pullstring's story
Pullstring is the modern everyday man rock band putting to words what it's like to be a young adult. Hailing from the Twin Cities of Minnesota, their brand of MN Power Pop is influenced by many artists throughout the decades and brings what fans call “nostalgic vibes'' to listeners. Pullstring’s palette of sounds ranges from bittersweet melancholy to upbeat anthems.
In the past couple years as a band, Pullstring has gone on tours and played to packed venues around the Midwest including 7th St Entry, Turf Club, and the Maintenance Shop. Pullstring has already been on festival lineups such as Eau Claire Fall Fest, KURE Fest, and Northwoods Rock Rally.

Discography
Press
"Sincere, sentimental and introspective, Pullstring explores human vulnerability and fragility in a heart-aching but simultaneously heart-warming way."
"In short, the Minneapolis band are gifted not only in music but also in the warmth they radiate."
"The up tempo energy of this track [When It Began] is quintessential indie rock; the chord changes on the chorus feel like they were probably first jammed out in a garage session. We mean that with the highest praise! The song feels like it has a gritty, rooted style to it. The vocals remind me a bit of what I first liked about Thrice’s Dustin Kensrue. I really appreciate the “don’t let life pass you by” line. There’s a lot of that going on with people merely enduring life; this song reminds us to live with joy and vibrancy. The expressive and energetic guitar solo accentuates the “seize the day” sentiment of the track."
"Pullstring have a knack for displaying their intention of the song within the first few seconds. There are no impulsive changes, the flow is maintained as a sacrosanct part of their passion for music."

"With heart-felt lyrics, a sense of professionalism, and a sense of passion that radiated from the stage, I found myself wanting to move closer and closer to the stage with every song that they played."
