Rooted in the sounds of the 90s, Herly Berly’s Grungegaze music is reminiscent of bands such as Hum, Failure Veruca Salt & Hole. The foundation of Herly Berly began in 2015 when Willow Selander & Cole Webb met at an after school music program in their home town of Salem, OR. These years of performing at local venues is what solidified the future path. After high school graduation in 2020, they moved to Nashville, TN where they continued to develop their sound and figure out the scene. In 2023 they converted the house they were renting into a recording studio, and with Dylan Ray, produced a handful of tracks including the singles Say My Name, Stretched Out & Shove It. 2024 brought in their kindred spirit & forever drummer Hays Thompson. Recently Hux Rittman has been joining them on the stage to fill out the recorded sound. The second EP “again again” will be out mid 2026 with a 3rd due by the end of 2026. Herly Berly continues to contribute to the Nashville Indy Scene and stretch out to many cities in as many states as possible.
