Formed in St. Petersburg, Florida, Soft Cuff emerged in late 2023 from the creative reunion of longtime friends Brian Schanck and Mikey Bostinto. Dennis Quaalude (PTSD) is an amazing track. Rooted in instrumental, cinematic psych-groove, the band draws inspiration from funk, hip-hop, soul, and jazz. The dynamic duo enlisted two talented friends with deep roots in Tampa Bay’s indie community: guitar virtuoso Shane Schuch and multi-instrumentalist Tina Sanchez. Together, Soft Cuff blends hypnotic and raw flows with their signature blend of vintage funk, psychedelic textures, and modern groove production.
Their sound has described as “fresh, compelling, and transcendently groovy,” drawing comparisons to artists like Khruangbin and BADBADNOTGOOD, but Soft Cuff’s atmospheric instrumentals and distinct sonic identity place them in a category of their own. Today, the psych-groove band ventures into collaborative territory with “Dennis Quaalude (PTSD)” featuring rapper/vocalist 9henom and the result is an authentic fusion that bridges classic hip-hop’s soul with contemporary psych-rock’s expansiveness.
