Maple City Music Artist of the Week: THUS LOVE

Brattleboro’s own Thus Love is a band that doesn’t just play music; they channel raw feeling and indie urgency. Formed during the pandemic in late 2019, the trio delivers a potent mix of post-punk, snappy riffs, and haunting vocals. Their 2022 album Memorial established a razor-sharp sound; their 2024 follow-up, All Pleasure, pushed things even further. With tracks like “Put on Dog” and “Centerfield,” they’re making waves both in Vermont and beyond.

Why We’re Featuring Them:

• They bring an intense but vulnerable sound, perfect for folks who love music and deep lyrics.

• They represent Vermont’s growing indie/post punk scene.
