Born out of reverence for their favorite bands and the need for an outlet to express personal influence, A Country Western finds themselves in the knotty crossroads of slowcore and shoegaze in Philadelphia, PA.
Multi-instrumentalists Derek Hengemihle and Garrett Miades began making songs together in middle school, eventually playing in other bands together until forming A Country Western in 2018. Eventually hometown friend Erik Hilbert (guitar) and Paris Parker (bass) joined for live performances, who soon became involved in writing and recording.
