Fiddlehead is an American post-hardcore[1] supergroup, formed in Boston, Massachusetts. The band's current line-up consists of Patrick Flynn (vocals) and Shawn Costa (drums) of Have Heart, Alex Henery (guitar) of Basement, Alex Dow (guitar) of Big Contest and Nick Hinsch (bass) of Stand Off and Nuclear Age.

History

Fiddlehead released their first EP in 2014, titled Out of the Bloom.[2] In 2018, Fiddlehead signed to the Boston record label Run for Cover Records and released their debut full-length album titled Springtime and Blind. In 2021, they released their second full-length on Run for Cover, Between the Richness.[3][4][5][1][6][7]

The band rarely participates in full-length tours; this is often due to Patrick Flynn working full-time as a high school history teacher.[8] The band does regularly tend to commit to one-off shows or small weekend tours focused on a single region.
