Mercy Union
Starting in 2017, Mercy Union drove the van out of Hudson County, NJ and never looked back. Their latest release "White Tiger" sent their take on late 90's alternative and post hardcore across the country and abroad with no signs of slowing down. Their latest single "Be Honest" is streaming everywhere now.
Lone Wolf (The Netherlands)
With their unique brand of infectiously catchy indie meets post-pop punk, Lone Wolf have been building a name for themselves and recruiting fans everywhere they go. From their hometown Rotterdam to Bergamo, from Montreal to Gainesville. Ever since forming back in 2016, they became the advocates of a new wave of punk rock that appeals to both fans of Dead to Me, The Thermals and The Strokes equally.
Borderlines
A decade after forming, Maine's Borderlines has finally released a full-length record that one review calls "a four-chord pop punk ripper with hopeful harmonies and melancholic ethos." "Keep Pretending," a 29-minute blast, is equal parts existential dread and longing for love. It’s about mourning the innocence of the past and holding out hope for the future despite dwindling reasons to.
Borderlines formed in 2012 by members of The Leftovers. Their sound is rooted in 90’s punk and pop-punk such as early Green Day and Riverdales, mixed with more recent melodic punk and alternative acts like The Menzingers and Jimmy Eat World. "Keep Pretending" is out now via Hey Pizza Records (LP), Mom’s Basement Records (CD) and Memorable But Not Honorable (Cassette).
“On ‘Keep Pretending,’ Borderlines have brought the classic sense of melody and urgency we all love from pop punk and served it up with punchy, ripping guitars and sharp drums to create a whole new banger of a record. The harmonies hit hard and the choruses stay with you long after you’ve left.” - Tom May, The Menzingers

Wifey
Wifey was formed by Teddy Grey and Carly Kerr, two card-carrying members of the theatre-kid turned punk-rocker pipeline. After working together on a Garfield musical (don’t ask), the two bonded over a mutual love of power-pop, emo, and DIY, and soon started crafting the catchiest songs ever written. They were joined by their friend (and far better musician) Mickey Blurr on lead guitar, and the rest is history. Wifey quickly went on to become better than The Beatles, and become the first band to be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame four separate times. May their ear-worm hooks and silly, scathing lyrics become familiar to us all.
