Typefighter is an indie-folk band from Washington, DC. It began when frontman Ryan McLaughlin bought an autoharp from an antique store in Peoria, Illinois, while traveling with a former band. In the wake of a musical lull, he began to write what would become Typefighter's first release. Typefighter expanded from a solo project to a full band when Ryan added Erik Anderson (guitar), while recording a basement demo, and John Crum (guitar) immediately before their first show. Mary Voutsas was brought on for the addition of piano and complex vocal harmonies. She later brought on drummer Will Waikart and guitarist/ banjo player Kevin Moquin.
Typefighter recently completed their debut EP: I Want to See you Game, Boys, I Want to See you Brave.
