Shortstop · Tune In
shortstop is a Sacramento DIY screamo/skramz project led by Jonathon Collins (guitar, vocals, writing), with Mateo De La Torre (bass) and Ren Mendoza (drums, vocals). Rooted in the underground screamo and emo scene, Collins frames it as "an art project first and a music project second," pairing penitent midwest-emo guitar work with splashy drums and raw, heartfelt vocals in the lineage of Innards, Shin Guard, and Touche Amore. Releases span the album sundered by the blow (2022), The Divine Demo Tape (2023), and the self-titled shortstop (September 2024), with tour activity through 2025.
