Ammonite is a new power trio from Washington, D.C., adding some jangle and twang to the urgent intensity of ’90s rock, in the vein of Sleater-Kinney, Veruca Salt, and The Breeders.
Selena Benally (More AM Than FM) on lead guitar and Erin Frisby (Miss Shevaughn & Yuma Wray, Fuzzqueen) on guitar and vocals bring some of the fire and fun of their previous post rock band, The OSYX, to this new endeavor. Alyson Cina (Ménage à Garage, Seamstresses, All Her Muses) adds ferocity and nuance on drums. She can be found on the road frequently with New Jersey’s working-class street punk warriors, the Hudson Falcons.
Ammonite played their inaugural show at Pearl Street Warehouse raising funds for DMV Food Justice. The band has been invited to play "The Tea" presented by The National Museum of Women In The Arts in 2023.
The release of their three-song demo "DEMOlitions" quickly gathered admirers, landing featured artist positions on Bandcamp, coverage from Country Queer, and airplay from multiple independent and community radio stations.
