Styrofoam Winos is the voltron of songwriters, multi-instrumentalists, and longtime friends Joe Kenkel, Trevor Nikrant, and Lou Turner. The trio formed in Nashville’s DIY scene and released their debut self-titled studio album in 2021. Styrofoam Winos’ recordings and live sets buzz with the energy of the band’s radically communal approach, rotating vocal and instrumental roles within their exploratory folk rock songs. The band went on to release a Michael Hurley covers tape in 2022 and appeared on MJ Lenderman’s And the Wind (Live and Loose!) album in 2023. Their sophomore studio album, Real Time, is out now via Sophomore Lounge.

Praise for Real Time:
“An endearing and invigorating collection of shaggy southern rock and dusty, woolen folk” - Aquarium Drunkard
“Bursting with great songs, channeling their individual personalities into a cohesive and delightful whole. Front porch Americana at its best.” - Post Trash
“If a batch of songs could be worn and patched, ripped, rumpled, darned, and laid out to iron in the cold light of morning, they’d sound something like the patchwork pearls on Real Time. The album is lived-in and stripped of pretense. It’s lost and found, an easy friend in all times.” - Raven Sings the Blues
“The Winos meld together here more than ever before, creating a cohesive album that sounds relaxed and comfortable as a whole. It’s not like “laid-back country rock” is new territory for Styrofoam Winos, but the way that they do it here–effortlessly passing the torch between the three of them, creating a singular vibe across these ten songs–is a palpable leap.” - Rosy Overdrive
