In May, Unifloraband self-released Francium, a scruffy, energetic EP whose austere rhythms and brittle guitars blur together minimal postpunk and trippy psychedelic rock. Uniflora Mon 8/7 Schubas | ✍️ imleor
Until this summer, I’d have struggled to think of a trio of rising high school sophomores who’d landed a slot at West Fest just a few months after forming their band—but then Chicago postpunks Uniflora went ahead and did it. Drummer Ruby O’Brien and bassist Theo Williams have been friends since kindergarten, and guitarist-vocalist Quinn Dugan attends Whitney Young with Williams.
They launched Uniflora in March, after they all played together in two groups with larger lineups and shorter life spans—beginning in fall 2022, they’d been part of Cinnamon Sticks, a “surf-rock Christmas band” that played a single show in a guitar shop, and an outfit called Final Say that lasted just two weeks. By early 2023, only the three members of Uniflora remained interested in pursuing music together.
