Winterpills are an indie rock band hailing from Northampton, Massachusetts. The band formed in the winter of 2003-2004 and began playing out regionally ( New England ) in the spring of 2004. Playing the melancholy songs of Philip Price, the band's characteristic sound is a combination of fragile and melancholy acoustic folk-pop, with vital male-female harmonies (Price and Reed), filled out with the distinctive edginess of Crommett's washy-watercolor electric guitar and Hower's tense drumming.
