Winded is Miami / Broward based indie rock band, originating from a Florida State University dorm room in 2016 as the solo project of Thrin Vianale. In 2018, the project expanded to include members of the band Man Moth (Patrick Saxer, Karl Vieweg, and Grayson Goga) following their graduation from FSU, with a move to Brooklyn in 2018. Through many trials and several tribulations, winded eventually settled in Miami and was joined by Nick Cody (guitar), James Sturges (bass), and Gunther Schenk (drums).
Winded is characterized by confessional, emotionally raw lyrics, intense rhythmic shifts, and layered guitars and vocals. Winded’s debut LP, Schwartz Goes to Heaven, was recorded in 2018 in Tallahassee and was released via Community Records. Winded released “double single” in 2024, and earlier this year the single “double memoir” via the Hot Stuff Recordings compilation entitled Severe Weather. Winded is known for high-energy live sets featuring “wild swings of emotion,” often transitioning from intimate moments to heavy, cathartic punk-influenced sounds. As of 2026, winded is tracking their third LP in Miami, incorporating faster tempos and more rhythm-focused experimentation, with management by Incubate Talent Group
