VVHEN

Brooklyn-based group -VVHEN emerges as a dynamic trio, crafted in the forge of post-pop rebellion. Born from the labyrinths of Danbro, their sound echoes through the hallways with the melodies of a generation unbound by convention. With members hailing from Brooklyn’s local music scene (O.Wake, Skorts), VVHEN delivers with high intensity coupled with crooning melodies that give listeners a longing sense of nostalgia, transporting them to a realm where the familiar meets the experimental.

Alphabet City

Once upon a time, amongst the bric-a-brac of post-hipsterdom and the vinyl revival emerged garage rockers Alphabet City. Though their sound is hard to pinpoint, the band believe it can be distilled to one phrase: the sweet and sour. Their songs reflect every echelon of their record collection: the anarchic energy of The Who, minimalist moxie of the White Stripes, art school cool of Sonic Youth, and the playful “devil-may-care” attitude of the Replacements. With ABC, anything is up for grabs. Acid-tongued high priest Iyare channels all of this into his anthems for the age of disinformation generation, buoyed by “jack of all trades” handyman Max Had on drums and artist-in resident 4 string zinger Alyssa Tumale on bass. Someday the band plans to conquer the world, but in the meantime they’ll settle for charming the hearts of the tastemakers of the Brooklyn scene.

Ultra Deluxe

Part screamo, part chiptune, overtly 8-bit, and always aggressive, Ultra Deluxe displays a wide variety of instrumentation. The anticipated synthesizers give way to harmonica, distortion and orchestra strings dance in a noise punk ode to Nintendo. A dark yet uplifting tone defined by driving bass lines and screams that echo the struggles of the proletariat.

Chris Morrissey

Bassist, singer and songwriter Chris Morrissey has released seven full length records and toured extensively with many beloved artists including Mark Guiliana, Norah Jones, Margaret Glaspy, Trixie Whitley, Dave King, Chris Thile, Gretchen Parlato, Sara Bareilles, Boy George and others.His last three recordings have been released on New York’s GroundUP music (Snarky Puppy, Becca Stevens, David Crosby). The music relies on and is brought to life by his trusted and tight knit community of musicians in New York, specifically Bill Campbell, Marco Bolfelli, Charlotte Greve, Nora Stanley, Ryan Dugre, Chris Parker and John Davis.

Birthday Ass

"Birthday Ass is a rock sextet featuring Priya Carlberg; voice, Alex Quinn; trumpet, David Mirarchi; saxophone, Andres Abenante; guitar, Grace Ward; bass and Jonathan Starks; drums. The band creates unexpected and multifaceted rock songs. The method and mastery behind Birthday Ass are as astute (pun intended) as can be, but the music that results overflows with an infectious, unfiltered vitality. Their sophomore album Head of the Household is as flamboyant and celebratory of a romp as you’d expect from a band called Birthday Ass and is just as strong and assured as the title would suggest. It is an example of virtuosity that shuns pretension and revels in the delight of creativity, and a collection of exhilarating, masterfully crafted tunes expressed with effortless joy.” - Evan Welsch

Market

The reliably inventive songwriting project Market is a vessel for producer Nate Mendelsohn’s obsessive questions and answers, recollections of conversation and interior monologues. Well I Asked You A Question, his 2nd release for Western Vinyl, brims with a humorous, neurotic candor only outmatched by a wide and colorful sonic palette. Outside of Market, Mendelsohn has produced and mixed albums by Frankie Cosmos and Dougie Poole, played saxophone on recordings by Yaeji and Lady Lamb, and performed as a multi instrumentalist live in Vagabon and Sam Evian. He is a house engineer at Figure 8 Recording in Prospect Heights, has a studio of his own in Clinton Hill, and is half of Shitty Hits Recording Co, a production team with Katie Von Schleicher.

Dueling vocalists and songwriters Samantha Campanile and Jess Lane are joined by Louis Rabeno on bass and Harley Cox on drums.

In the Spring of 2023 Sadlands made a pilgrimage to Asbury Park, home of their beloved Bruce Springsteen, to record their debut EP with Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls. Sadlands are ready to release their fresh brand of 90’s tinged pop-rock hits to the masses.

Moon Sand Land

Self-described as "future classic rock," Moon Sand Land's idiosyncratic approach to indie has carved out a space of its own since bandleader Jason Ross relocated to Brooklyn and joined forces with Daniel Lerner, Alex Scheitinger, Taylor Hurt & Maggie Bishop. Recommended for fans of King Krule, Pavement, and Steve Lacey, the project's forthcoming EP Table Tennis hones the outfit's particular brand of slacker/post-punk stylings to a fine point, introducing raucous noise and shuffling rhythms in equal measure.

Endearments

Kevin Marksson wears his heart on his sleeve. Never one to shy away from big emotions, the Brooklyn songwriter has poured three years of diaries into the music of Endearments. The trio’s latest EP, It Can Be Like This, is no exception; Marksson and his bandmates—guitarist Anjali Nair and drummer Will Haywood Smith—channel these introspections into lush, reverb-washed pop songs that evoke early 4AD dream pop and the romanticism of Roxy Music.

Wetsuit

“Oh one day I’ll live in a city, and I’ll be whoever I like” howls Wetsuit’s Allison Becker, pouting on stage as she channels her inner midwest princess turned powerhouse Brooklyn band frontwoman. Accompanied by Anders Nils (guitar), Paul DeSilva (bass), and Tess Kramer (drums), Wetsuit makes "delightfully wonky indie rock" (Post Trash) that sounds like The Cranberries meets Waxahatchee. They released their debut album Sugar, I’m Tired in August 2023 with NYC indie label Substitute Scene Records and are currently working on a full length with producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo de Souza).

The Frank and Walters’ Paul Linehan is one of Ireland’s most talented and inspirational singer / songwriters.

For nearly 30 years Paul has penned and performed hundreds of songs with The Frank and Walters which have captured the hearts and minds of generations.

The band originally became world famous on the ‘90s indie scene and have produced seven studio albums. Paul has lost none of his talent or motivation to produce fantastically crafted and catchy indie songs and continues to write new material to this day. This summer the band also achieved a life-long ambition when they played with a full orchestra at the Cork Opera House.

Recently the band captured a whole new audience when their ‘90’s hit single ‘After All’ featured on the cult comedy show ‘The Young Offenders’ (the infamous ‘Billy Murphy’ bus hijack scene). And as well as being able to recall stories of Radiohead and Suede supporting the Frank and Walters on early tours, their recent single featured Peaky Blinders Cillian Murphy doing a voiceover on the track ‘Stages’.

The band are taking to the road to share the hits and their favourite long lost classics in all their acoustic glory. The lyrical and musical genius of Linehan’s song writing is laid bare in this intimate format and the true magic of the songs, coupled with Paul’s engaging personality shines through.

Pretoria

Pretoria is a five-piece independent rock band founded in Grand Rapids, MI by high school friends Josh Bilisko, Rob Gullett, and Ben DeWitt in early 2018, releasing the now-archived Pretoria EP. The group briefly featured Evelyn Timmis as a guitarist and singer, ultimately parting ways later in 2019. Talented multi-instrumentalist Matt Burdick then joined as a guitar and synth player.

During these early days, the group released works such as "Lafayette Ave," the band's Capetown EP, and highly-praised, music-festival-winning single “Keep Two-Stepping.” Propelled by this success, Pretoria continued writing and releasing indie rock and pop oriented songs like "Gently," "Skinny Dip," and "Expert" - making all sorts of friends as well as a name for themselves in the Midwest.

Having weathered the effects of COVID-19, the band returned in full force in 2021 with the addition of Matt Pavlock on guitar. Together, over the next two years, the group would release a cover of "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young, Certainly, a two-sided single "I Blew It / Roller Derby," "Fat Chance," and their full-length debut album Where Will the Night Take Us?

With the 2024 on the horizon, the band began planning a move from Grand Rapids to Chicago, IL. They kept excitement flowing with new indie-pop flare singles Seven and Televisional, the latter of which was supported by friend and producer Jake Rye at Social Recording Company. They partnered with Sparta Distribution and bid farewell to Grand Rapids at longtime beloved venue The Pyramid Scheme and re-established in Chicago. The conclusion of 2024's liveshows was where Pretoria would bid loving farewells to Josh Bilisko and Matt Pavlock as they embarked in new careers. Together, the newly Chicago-based group would carry the torch, aiming for 2025 to be its biggest year yet.

Full of endearing personalities, Pretoria is exactly the sort of DIY music scene gem you want to catch live and meet after the show.

Social Cig

Born & brewed in Wisconsin, Social Cig is the 'Indie-Skate-Rock' music project of Parker Schultz. Consisting of contagious authenticity, cheery live shows, and cultivating an original story with an attitude of gratitude, Social Cig is creating full-circle moments. Leafing through global music scenes with an ambitious DIY approach and writing songs that capture a genuine outlook from a modern-day Midwest cowboy, Social Cig has become a well-rounded grassroots venture.

A Social Cig song sorts the ordinaries of boyhood; a lyrical short story woven together by playful strength and catchy grips in the feel-good realm of indie rock. Throughout a college degree, circa 2018, Parker shyly unveiled his defenseless GarageBand demos to his friends over hand-packed cigarettes on a Milwaukee duplex balcony. This collection of 12 hobby-songs unknowingly became his debut album, ‘Prettier in Person'. After waves of encouraging chats by supportive peers, Parker would migrate to a soggy practice space 3 floors below his bedroom (the basement) and create his live band with a rotating cast of friends, Social Cig.

Sketching a memoir and gardening an actively verdant fan base on & offline, Social Cig continues to expand its landscape by sharing the stage with acts such as Wet Leg, PREP, M.A.G.S., Noah Kahan, Lime Cordiale, Arlo Parks, Windser, Motherfolk, Kainalu, Dizzy, Miloe, Ax and the Hatchetmen, Landon Conrath, Motel Breakfast, Michael Cera Palin, and Lowertown.

Archer Oh

(Moreno Valley, CA) - California indie garage rock band Archer Oh consists of Arturo “Archie” Medrano on vocals and guitar, Pedro Hernandez on drums, Diego Jacuinde on lead guitar, and Juan Cabrera on bass. Humbly beginning in the backyards of the Inland Empire in 2017, through their energetic live performances, DIY work ethic and goofy personalities, the group has amassed a cult following that in spite of the odds, increasingly platforms the band to new heights. 

By 2022, Archer Oh had shared stages with Destroy Boys, Vundabar, Beach Goons, Six60, and Late Night Drive Home, embarked on two national tours supporting The Red Pears, and closed out the year with their first headline tour, including 3 consecutive sold out headline shows at The Paramount, Constellation Room, and The Glass House Pomona- where they sold all 800 tickets in celebration of Gradients - their first record together as a band. The following year solidified Archer Oh as a formidable touring machine, with the band playing 84 shows in 2023 - including The Channel Surfing Tour - their first full-length headline tour that included performances at Treefort Fest, Austin Psych Fest, Norman Music Festival, concluding with a headline show at The Belasco in LA, followed by two North American headline tours direct supporting Dogstar (Keanu Reeves) in mostly sold-out rooms of up to 5000 capacity, and a headline pacific northwest around Freakout Fest. More headline shows and another Dogstar tour followed the next year, and fans saw the band announce their biggest shows ever: a hometown return to Desert Daze Festival in Lake Perris, and a show with The Red Pears at LA’s The Shrine. 

Archer Oh is set to release their debut studio album, The Internal Theater in February 2025 via AWAL/Sony. The record was engineered by Sean Cook at John Congleton’s LA studio “Animal Rites” and mastered by Howie Weinberg. Just like the years past, Archer Oh is ready to continue to win over even more people in 2025.

Luxury Skin

LUXURY SKIN (art rock from Brooklyn, NY) culls a range of diverse influences — from Nick Cave’s playful gravitas to Brecht and Weill’s provocative theatrical agitprop (think Lotte Lenya meets The Dresden Dolls in a piano lounge). Debut LP It’s All Over (2023) elegantly performs and confrontationally invokes a wide breadth of characters, moods, and affective states from comic pagliaccio to tragic heroine, from blueswoman to bad bitch. Adorned by diaphanous electronics and string quartet overlays that undulate between plaintive and luscious, It's All Over coolly collapses the club, the cabaret, and the concert hall into a musical dream space for living real life — and real love — in a real way.

Kilynn Lunsford

As if Blackout was reimagined by Throbbing Gristle, KILYNN LUNSFORD's debut Custodians of Human Succession straddles unclear boundaries between electro-pop, post-punk and the avant-garde; it delves into those liminal spaces between pop culture and experimentalism, between city and country, between verse and chorus.

Custodians Of Human Succession is Lunsford’s first work since the dissolution of her former project, noise-punk outfit Taiwan Housing Project in 2021. She has released records on labels, such as Kill Rock Stars, Ecstatic Peace, Ever/ Never, Siltbreeze, Not Not Fun.

Inspired by her longtime love of collage, and an “exquisite corpse approach to photography”, Lunsford and chief collaborator Don Bruno developed a DIY recording style the two jokingly referred to as “Fluid Fidelity”: We would record things very flatly”, explains Lunsford, “ with cheap broken gear and off-time rhythms, sounds with no reverb or sense of space – almost like an auditory hallucination – and combine that with high-end preamps and high-end mics, so that my voice is out front almost to the point of being disembodied from the music.”.

Embellishing this collage, more ornately still, are Lunsford’s caustic lyrics, packed as they are with a potent blood-stream of unflinching surrealism and discomfiting satire.

Luna Honey

LUNA HONEY is a dark, absurdist post-punk trio birthed out of DC’s DIY scene in 2017 and now residing in Philadelphia. The trio, consisting of Maura Pond, Benjamin Schurr, and Levi Flack is known for their expansive range, with songs that run the gamut from searing vocals that float above a maelstrom of noise and feedback to moody lullabies with lurking bass lines.

Pain Annihilator

With inspirations ranging from 70’s library music, Swans, Giallo films, and the Greek mythological trip through the underworld, PAIN ANNIHILATOR brings forth a unique and fierce sonic picture of Lynchian tragedy on his new EP. This portrait offers an insight to the repercussions of excess, of heartbreak and self-reflection, set to a score of palpitating apocalypse. This EP also focuses on collaborations with other like minded artists and surmises the scene of complete depravity through the lens of myth reinterpreted as we see PAIN ANNIHILATOR embark through the trials of Hades.

Dreamcrusher

"Dreamcrusher is a New York City-based musician and artist, who describes the project as 'nihilist queer revolt musik.' Dreamcrusher’s work is at once personal and abstract, revealing and antagonistic; performances and recordings shift between genres while subjecting the characteristic elements—melodies, beats, instrumentation—to distortion until the point of transformation. Dreamcrusher has released dozens of recordings with labels such as PTP, Fire Talk, and Corpus, as well as on Bandcamp and other online platforms. Dreamcrusher is also a member of the duo Centennial Gardens with King Vision Ultra."

Norman Westberg (of Swans)

Best known for his work with the seminal outfit SWANS, Westberg's output beyond that group is sprawling and restless. His name recurs and ripples through many interconnected micro-histories surrounding New York City's music and art scenes. From appearances in film works associated with the Cinema Of Transgression, through to his participation in bands such as The Heroine Sheiks and Five Dollar Priest, Westberg's name is woven deeply into the fabric of New York over the past three decades.


A note from Lawrence English

"Norman Westberg's guitar playing with SWANS has influence a generation of musicians across genres. I can personally attest to how his particular approaches to that instrument, in creating both harmony and brute force, have challenged and ultimately influenced my own sonic preoccupations.


What Norman has created with his solo works is an echoing universe of deep texture and harmonic intensity. His solo compositions generate an affecting quality that drives the listener towards reductive transcendence.


His guitar, as singular source, becomes transformed through a web of outboard processes. He transforms vibrating strings completely, taking singular gesture and reshapes it through webs of delay, reverb and other treatments. To me, these works echo many of the concerns of American minimalism and sprawl outward together with the work of bands such as Stars Of The Lid. Norman has created a very dense and powerful statement of intent with these recordings and I couldn't be more pleased to have some small part in helping to share them."

Bats

Nashville band Bats is the project of songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Jess Awh. Their new album, "Good Game Baby" was released March 1, 2024 and is “country in its core, but also dabbles in long extensions of layers of found sound…and big droning guitar.” (Justin Barney, WNXP Nashville) Since the band’s origin in 2021, they have been appreciated for their eccentric, collage-style arrangements and exactingly poignant lyrics. “Bats has built a reliable reputation as a sincere lens into Awh’s own growing pains and intimate reflections… with her tongue and cheek lyricism, hyper specific anecdotes and country music roots… there is deliverance in her fractured timeline, blending nostalgia with confessionals as she looks back on how far she has come.” (Shea Roney, the Ugly Hug). Awh’s live band skillfully applies traditional instruments like fiddle and pedal steel guitar to a contemporary, stream-of-consciousness songwriting style, peppering in samples, drum machines, and distortion for an ultimately unique blend of Nashville hometown influence and indie rock sensibilities.

Bryce Bishop

Garnering his first audience by making covers of songs he loved, it wasn't long before Bryce found listeners for his originals. Over the following years, Bryce would independently draw over 20 million streams, gain radio play (Triple J, SYN Radio), and build a strong core audience on the internet. Whether it was the short and simple hip-hop/pop of "Como" or the electronic panic attack of "Spite," Bryce has found consistency in variety.

Bryce grew up in Monterey, California. He now lives in New York, where he enjoys drinking coffee, making art, and spending time with friends.

Prom

Since forming in 2020, PROM has had no problems broadening their horizons and fanbase, to say the very least. Formed under the initial seclusion and distance of COVID, the trio (comprised of singer/songwriter Tatiana Hazel and producers Beelow and Billy Macadamia) were all looking for something to create in a time where many things felt uncertain. Reaching out to Macadamia, Hazel was looking to create something outside of her solo work that could be more ethereal, synth driven and propelled by a different type of sonic palette. After enlisting the melodic and chord-driven talents of long-time collaborator Beelow, they began working on their debut self-titled EP, sending tracks and new ideas via email and producing from across the country.

Winter Wolf

Winter Wolf, once a two-piece and now a four-piece band, hailing from NY/NJ began within the mind of Jehiel Winters. The band’s gritty, dark, and fast sound comes from a melting pot of different influences from the shock horror sounds of Screamin Jay Hawkins to the raw punching range of bands like Motorhead, and the duo vocal charges with a fast yet groovy punk beats reminiscent of Biohazard, just to name a few of their influences. Nate (who also plays in MAAFA) joined the band in August 2019 after the departure of the original drummer as a fill-in but soon remained full-time not long after. Tony $yxx, who initially joined as an announcer, jumped on as a full 2nd vocalist after being given the chance by Jehiel in 2019 at a Skatepark show in Queens. The band consists of Jey (He/Him) on Bass/Vox, Tony $yxx (He/Him) on Vox, Nate (He/Him) on drums, and Xvaiver Martinez aka Marly (He/Him/They/Them) who joined in 2022 on 2nd Bass. We originally called our genre Harlem Rhythm Punk but soon changed it to Afro-Surreal Punk, blending Hardcore, and Rock & Roll, with components of Soul and Gospel while also using the concept of Horror with the Realism of everyday life.

Philadelphia hardcore punk four piece SOJI produces energetic melodies paired alongside subversive lyrics reflecting on racism, womanism, police brutality, and the growing housing crisis. Aptly named “the crown revived”, SOJI comes out the gate swinging with a radically Black, Trans and Queer-led ethos and a dedication to disrupting existing punk spaces in favor of centering more Black Queer and Trans punks.

Pleasure Island

Pleasure Island explores genres like bossa nova, new wave and pop through their unique colorful lens. Approaching each song with the joy of Jonathan Richman and the sleaze of Sugar Ray, they create a faux tropical landscape that invites the listener to look through its fourth wall.

Di Ivories

Di Ivories is an eccentric, psychedelic dream pop project from Brooklyn, NY led by singer/keyboardist Diego Martinez. Di Ivories combines indie rock with a bewildering tension and vigorous excitement in a variety of ways that, in his words, evokes a “symphony of chaotic wonders.” Di Ivories weird and wonderful lyricism matched with an almost theatrical vocal delivery creates an uplifting sound that would be as fitting in a ballroom as it is a downtown New York boozer.

Talking Violet

Talking Violet (est. 2018) transports the listener to a sonic dreamland. The Windsor, Ontario outfit melds the best elements of shoegaze, grunge, alternative rock, and dream-pop into a sound that pays homage to genre greats, while simultaneously giving a bold, original statement. Consisting of Jillian Goyeau (vocals, guitar), Jayden Turnbull (guitar, vocals), Jeremie Brousseau (drums) and Dylan Iannicello (bass), Talking Violet gears up to push boundaries with their most vulnerable and intimately curated creation yet. “Everything At Once”, the band’s anticipated 2024 sophomore album, was produced by Justin Meli and recorded in part at 80A Studios at Universal Music Canada (Toronto, ON) and Chalet Recording Studio (Uxbridge, ON).

Their lush, experimental sound has quickly left their mark on audiences with their " dreamy pop, hazy, gauzy songwriting, their effects-laden melodic excursions slice themselves off from the past, to find renewed innovation within the shoegaze template" - Clash Magazine
