Davis Gestiehr

Born into a world of raw energy and rebellious spirit, Davis Gestiehr, a 23-year-old Nashville-based singer-songwriter, has been immersed in the sounds of punk rock since his earliest days. Raised by punk parents, he cut his teeth on the anthems of The Ramones, Sex Pistols, and Iggy Pop, forging a deep connection to music that would shape his artistic identity.

Gestiehr’s early exposure to live music ignited a passion within him. At just 11 years old, he found himself on stage alongside punk rock icon Billie Joe Armstrong, performing “Longview” with Green Day at the Patriot Center. This unforgettable experience solidified his desire to share his own music with the world.

Now, Gestiehr is crafting a sound that blends the brooding intensity of rock with the raw energy of punk. His music evokes the nostalgic sounds of The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, and Arctic Monkeys, while forging a distinctly modern and personal style. With each song, he delves into the depths of human emotion, painting vivid portraits of pain, longing, and hope.

Gestiehr’s music has resonated with audiences worldwide, amassing over two million streams on Spotify alone and earning praise from respected publications like Earmilk and Atwood Magazine. As he continues to evolve as an artist, Davis Gestiehr is poised to make a significant impact on the music scene in 2024 and beyond.

Billie Joe proclaimed that this was “the most memorable moment of [his] entire life” and gave me his custom shop Telecaster. That solidified everything for me, and I knew that I’d spend the rest of my life chasing that feeling.

Cool With It

His latest single, “Cool With It,” captures the bittersweet thrill of a forbidden romance. The song narrates the intoxicating pull towards someone you know is trouble, painting a picture of reckless abandon and carefree indulgence.

Fueled by gritty guitars and vibrant synth lines, “Cool With It” is a high-energy track that effortlessly blends nostalgic indie rock with a modern twist. The playful lyrics, filled with candid honesty, contrast sharply with the uplifting, feel-good vibe of the song, making it the perfect anthem for those seeking a carefree escape.

The song’s infectious energy and catchy melodies evoke the spirit of iconic New York bands from the 2000s, such as The Strokes, Interpol, and LCD Soundsystem.

I think everybody at some point is involved with somebody who they know they shouldn’t be involved with. I’ve definitely thrown caution to the wind at times and fucked around with people who haven’t been the best influences on me. This song is an ode to just that. Some people can really suck as people, but those same people can be pretty entertaining as well.

At the end of the day, sometimes those experiences are essential to enjoying life. They may fuck you up a little, but at least you’ll have a story. I’d hope my music inspires people to give less of a shit. Life is extremely short and sometimes it’s gonna kick you in the teeth. You have to capitalize on the moments when it’s not that awful.

I wanted to try and harness the sound and energy of a lot of those New York bands that I love.
