THIS WEEK IN THE PIT // THE LONELY ONES

Solshade — A Room Wrapped in Sound
🪩 Interview with Dillon — Lead Vocalist of Solshade The interview started the way any good Wisconsin night does, with a debate over cheese curds. Dillon grinned, beer in hand, and answered without a beat: “Fried, 100%.” It was the perfect warm-up before…
