Boston-based experimental rock band Pile brings their dynamic, genre-defying sound to El Club. Over the past decade, Pile has built a cult following with their emotionally raw lyrics, complex compositions, and unpredictable live energy. Fronted by Rick Maguire, the band has evolved from lo-fi solo recordings into a full-force ensemble known for pushing the boundaries of noise rock, post-hardcore, and indie rock. Their 2023 album All Fiction—released on Exploding in Sound Records—showcases their most ambitious and textured work to date, weaving introspective songwriting with layered arrangements. Pile’s relentless touring and passionate fanbase have earned them critical acclaim from outlets like Pitchfork, NPR, and Stereogum. Fans of Ovlov, Slint, Cloud Nothings, and Protomartyr will find something to connect with in Pile’s cathartic and cerebral performances. Presented by El Club. All ages
