The Shondes (rhymes with "Hondas" and Yiddish for "shames" or "disgraces") are a rock band from Brooklyn, NY, who play Bikini Kill-meets-Bruce Springsteen-style sing-along anthems. Their melodic brand of punk, with the violin you didn't know you needed, lifts your spirits, and their high-energy live shows always bring the audience along for the ride. Their 2016 album, Brighton (Exotic Fever), included "badass love songs that beg to be belted out", according to SPIN, and The New York Times recently said they "cut through the nihilistic noise of 2018".
