Unwelcome Guests

TWO RECORDS COMING SOON!!!!!!!!

About Me

We are a 4 piece rock band from Buffalo, NY. We write songs and play them louder and faster than we probably should... same old trick, but it's fun.
"Unwelcome Guests reminds me of hanging out in Little Rock, Arkansas in the mid-‘90s. They manage to mix together all the styles of the bands I remember from there, from the poppy drunken sing-along style, to the slow heartbreak songs, to the country tinged mid-paced rockers. The songs are sung with heartfelt conviction, and the vocals are buried which adds mystery." -Erin from MRR in regards to Home Recordings Vol. 2
"The Unwelcome Guests are a breath of fresh air. Their style is vastly different from mainstream punk rock. There is a little something for everyone in their music. Their live shows are electric and many people can be caught singing and dancing to their catchy lyrics and their eclectic sound." -Rufus
"Micah Winship writes tunes that sound like Johnny’s Cash’s Cadillac plowing into The Clash. The 23-year-old fronts Unwelcome Guests with a voice stained by Jim Beam and cheap cigs." -Matt Wake, Editor of Bootleg Essential Culture
"Walk Alone" Monday August 6th @ Mohawk Place.
"I Wanna Get Drunk Tonight" Monday August 6th @ Mohawk Place
Our set from April 2nd at 99 Custer St.
Thanks to Brandon for the videos.
