Typefighter

Typefighter is an indie-folk band, from Washington, DC. The project began when frontman Ryan McLaughlin (member of fellow DC based band Pash) bought an autoharp from an antique store in Peoria, Illinois, during the last dates on a Fall tour. In the wake of a musical lull he began to write what would become Typefighter’s first release. Typefighter expanded from solely a solo project to a full band, when Ryan added Erik Anderson, while recording a basement demo, and John Crum immediately before their first show. Mary Voutsas was brought on board for the addition of piano and complex harmonies, who later brought on drummer Will Waikart, and guitarist/ banjo player Kevin Moquin. Typefighter has recently finished their debut EP: ‘I Want to See you Game, Boys, I Want to See you Brave’, which will be released to coincide with their Summer tour starting in Washington DC on July 17.
