Cleveland's Charity Strype craft jangly power pop with sharp edges and sharper hooks. Formed a year and a half ago, the quartet—Dylan Glover, Levan Mdzinarishvili, David Coughlin, and Sebastian Boros—channels the melodic sophistication of bands like XTC, Teenage Fanclub, and Prefab Sprout through a distinctly Midwestern lens. 

Charity Strype balances ear-worm guitar work with Glover's lyrics that don't flinch from the mundane realities of modern life: dead-end jobs, fractured relationships, substance use, and a certain Rust Belt nihilism.

The band is set to release their debut EP early 2026, bringing their blend of chiming guitars, playful synthesizers, and propulsive rhythms to a wider audience.
