Latter

“Walks fans through an escalating catharsis—melancholic and introspective.” - New Noise Magazine “The lyrics are viscerally poetic as Meredith confronts a past relationship, talks about living with chronic illness, and moves toward healing with restorative rage. There is a deep level of connection present in each of the seven tracks which makes 'My Body Is My Sickness' sound even bigger and hit even harder.” - Punknews.org “Chicago noise rock duo Latter are new to the scene but the group is poised to make a splash with their potent, impactful brand of heavy, discordant rock and thoughtful presentation.” - Decibel Magazine Latter is a Chicago-based noise rock project formed by chance in 2022 by Philadelphia-born sound artist Meredith Haines and drummer Jonathan Alvarado (Beach Bunny). After a decade in the Philadelphia DIY scene, Haines had stepped away from music entirely—burned out and building a new life as a sound artist and college advisor. A spontaneous connection with Alvarado sparked weekly jam sessions that quickly evolved into a raw and unique collaboration. Drawing from Haines’ background in both sound art and modern dance, the band’s performances blur the lines between noise rock, performance art, and sound art, pushing beyond genre through a volatile mix of tension and vulnerability.
