Nicole Papastavrou and Ryan Glisan Debut Brainwave and Wild New Single

Posted on February 13, 2019April 14, 2020 by Sara Norton

Axe ace Nicole Papastavrou of We Start Wars —the Nita Strauss-led all-female groove metal band— recently teamed with former Allegaeon guitarist Ryan Glisan for a new side project called Brainwave.

The duo hit the EVH Showroom in Burbank, Calif., to shoot a playthrough of their debut single, “S.P.A.” Papastravrou plugged into an EVH 5150IIIS 50W 6L6 head with a pair of 5150® 4×12 straight cabinets, while Glisan played through an EVH 5150IIIS® EL34 head also through a pair of 4x12s.

The setup tackled the rapid prog-style of “S.P.A” with ease, delivering bright, glassy notes over aggressive high-gain.

After hearing the versatile and excellent performance, you can count us as new fans!
