Loincloth is an American heavy metal band whose members hail from Raleigh, North Carolina and Richmond, Virginia.
Loincloth was formed in 2000 by two musicians from Raleigh, Steve Shelton and Cary Rowells, and two from Richmond, Pen Rollings and Tannon Penland. Shelton and Rowells had previously played in Confessor, and Rollings was a member of Breadwinner. The group recorded a four-track demo in 2003 and released a 7" record, "Church Burntings"/"New Jersey", but did not release a full-length until 2012, when Iron Balls of Steel was released on Southern Lord Records. Penland cites the group's long-distance status (Raleigh and Richmond are approximately a three-hour drive away from each other) as one factor in the album's long gestation period.
+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.
