Rat Motel

The Rat Motel first appeared in 2016 as a collective dream sustained by brothers Seth and Clayton Peacock. After a speedy and unanimous decision to drop the undeniably pretentious article “The,” Rat Motel quickly became a staple of the Columbus, Ohio DIY scene with their massive dual-cylinder live sets and infectious buzz rock recordings. They have since half-relocated to Brooklyn but still host RATFEST annually in Columbus. Fan favorite “Dog” is featured in the film “Poser” (released last summer out of Oscilloscope Labs) and their debut studio album “The Rat Motel” (the “The” had to come back somehow) was released in summer 2023. It’s a dizzying peek into a tangled underworld of stories and dreams, using the blunt force of their live show to graft intricately satisfying songwriting onto carefully orchestrated darkness that would make Nick Cave proud.

Partygirl

partygirl is an imaginative, maximalist, feminist rock band based in Brooklyn. The band is formed by Pagona Kytzidis (songwriting/lead vocals/rhythm guitar/keyboards), Francesca Pastore (production/lead guitar), Claire Lin Jenkins (orchestral arrangements/violin/backing vocals), Jonathan Ashley (drums/percussion), Andrew Jordan (bass), and Jenna Love (alto saxophone).

Through creating unique and forward-looking music, partygirl centers intentional and creative storytelling through progressive, genre-bending song composition and lyrics that combine feminist praxis, emotional rawness, and dark comedy. Since early 2023, the band’s energetic and emotional shows have stormed the stages of venues across in New York City and the Northeast, including Baby’s All Right, the Sultan Room, Brooklyn Made, Union Pool, and Mercury Lounge, to name a few. Their highly-anticipated debut full-length project, I’m So Charming, I Forgot Who I Was, is set to release in Fall 2024.

this HOLY rodeo!

this HOLY rodeo! is a well-funded corporate endeavor to maximally synthesize global market research in order to produce the most well-rounded and widely appealing music possible. Its shareholders include Chris Harth (Vocals, Keys, Guiar), Sami Habib (Guitar), Gaetano Lardieri (Drums), and Mario Marques (Bass). They will one day rule the earth and control most major waterways and the distribution of ethanol. Their efforts exist online and they have managed to enrich themselves off of unsuspecting fans across the country.

Uncle Skunk

Uncle Skunk is a homegrown NYC rock band that excels in spinning songs that draw from musical traditions ranging from folk to metal. They are gearing up for the release of their third EP “II”, set to drop June 2024.

Powerwasher

Blasting onto the punk scene at 3000 PSI, high energy rippers Power Washer are peeling the paint off with their latest DIY contribution Everyone Laughs. With this addition, these Baltimore punks have expanded their sound beyond their post-punk roots, pulling in more shoegaze-like texture, heavier early post-rock riffs, and 80’s New York No Wave skronk- delivering their fans a jaw-dropping and explosive artifact. While heavier and more experimentally elastic, the group manages to retain their knack for catchy hooks and memorable riffing. The lyrics are dense, thought provoking and abstract, reading like the ramblings of a manic artist working through intense catharsis, and delivered in many fashions- chaotic and spastic yelling, dialed spoken word, and melodically sung choruses. “Same Time / Same Channel” Could be a college radio hit, while “1-900-POWERWASHER” feels like a demented homage to James Chance. These run the gamut. This record is plotted and composed with a clear and meticulous art-punk vision. Powerwasher bare their teeth with Everyone Laughs- an undoubtedly provocative, innovative, and replayable rock n roll pipe bomb.

Diet Lite

“Don’t let the name fool you, I can only describe Diet Lite as immense, and that’s an understatement. These cats are the dark matter of midwestern rock. It was the rowdiest music I’ve ever heard come out of a three piece band.” -Aaron Pylinksi (Chicago Crowd Surfer)


Showcasing an eclectic garage rock style combining elements of everything from post-punk to alt-country, Milwaukee’s Diet Lite specialize in blending searing riffs, clever songwriting, and a brand of energy that could be canned and sold. It’s gritty, feel-good rock ‘n’ roll at its finest.


Diet Lite have found themselves at the forefront of a burgeoning young Midwest DIY scene that continues to gain momentum. Over the years the band has become a musical force to be reckoned with, playing hundreds of shows across the country, packing out grimey basements and storied clubs alike along the way. Diet Lite’s most recent LP, Into The Pudding, captures the essence of the high-octane, no-holds-barred live show and unrelenting verve the band has come to be known for.

Pamphlets

Pamphlets are a post-punk band based in Brooklyn, NY. With songs that attempt to speak about the chaos, uncertainty and anxiety of our current moment, Pamphlets position themselves as an unabashedly political call to action.

Clarko

Welcome to CLARKO! Conceived in the desert of Reno, NV, CLARKO is the musical ego trip of Clark “Rules” Demeritt. The LP “Welcome to CLARKO” on Iron Lung Records mixes new wave’s greatest misses with modern punk to create an arms-wide invitation to the double-mad anxious world of smart-mouthed subversion, man-made aneurysms, knee-jerk antagonism, and juvenile gambling addictions. In short, a delight for the senseless. Clark’s mom will tell you in any happenstance meeting at the grocery store, “Clark likes Devo,” and he lives up to his mother’s promise. Sorry State Records says, “It’s weird as hell… it has the aesthetic trappings of egg punk, but the songs are very intricate and musical… parts remind me of the residents. Who’s weird enough to step to this?” At the heart of CLARKO is the distillation of a person, so if you don’t like Clark, you won’t like CLARKO. But most people adore Clark, so you will too!

—Clark of CLARKO

Pyrex

Erupting onto the New York punk scene, Brooklyn based band Pyrex have made waves after releasing a handful of well-received singles and tapes and touring the US generating significant buzz. At long last, the group is releasing their highly anticipated debut LP "PYREX". The LP delivers driving, scrappy hardcore-leaning post-punk that sounds like a mix between a lost KBD artifact and an Eastern European post-punk unknown. This LP explores dystopic and nihilistic themes both lyrically and musically packaged in no-brainer high energy punk. Pyrex delivers distorted, angular and heavily entwined bass and guitar hooks strengthened by linear, pummeling drums with raw, aggressive vocals. The trio have created an LP that is equally unchained and artful. "PYREX" is a wholly well-crafted, frenetic, dialed-in, oven-safe, microwavable, and collectable modern punk record with infinite playability. - Sims Hardin

Blind Equation

Having grown up in the infamous 2010's Chicago area metal and hardcore scene, and over a decade existing in the furthest corners of the internet's niche cyber music communities, Blind Equation is the naturally selected herald of some the world wide web's so-called "weirdest" sounds. Standing on decades of underground and outsider sonic history, Blind Equation is the pinnacle evolution of the, until recently, obscure genres, nintendocore and cybergrind that were birthed in the Myspace era of the early '00's. 90's grindcore, Gen Z hyperpop, and Castlevania-esque video game soundtracks collide at blurring speeds under the keyboard of Blind Equation, and the subsequent amalgamation of otherwise completely incompatible styles is utterly heavenly (though, admittedly, jarring upon first listen). This deliciously digital sonic soup is comprised of the completely maximized forms of its influences and audible ingredients. The blasts: blistering, the vocals: scathing, the synths: from dirge-y dungeon depths to bombastic boss battles. The drum sequences are all around infectious and carry songs at an adventurous pace while expertly composed synths paint the perfect background for vocals that range anywhere from violent screams to effected digicore and hyperpop laden choruses. Blind Equation stands to usher in a whole new era of internet and cyber music. It's the artist you never knew you needed, but now that you've had a taste, simply cannot get enough of. -Natty Gray, Cult Love

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.

Wifey

Wifey is a Brooklyn power-pop band formed by Teddy Grey and Carly Kerr, two hot dorks who prove that the theater-kid to punk-rocker pipeline is still claiming innocent victims. After working together on an R-rated Garfield musical (don’t ask), the two bonded over a mutual love of bubblegrunge, emo, and DIY, and began crafting the catchiest songs ever written. They were soon joined in marriage by Mickey Blurr on lead guitar, and Chris Canieso on drums, and the rest is history. The honeymoon phase never has to end with Wifey, thanks to their earworm hooks, enticingly questionable lyrics, and lovely harmonies that could only come from the happiest of marriages. Matrimony never looked so good.

All the identity and none of the crisis! The Macks are in their own pocket. Your DIY wet dream are hardened road warriors and goblins of their basement studio.

A Macks set is a sonic-fucking-circus. Virile and award-winning like a show horse, they are turning heads around the country and internationally through the airwaves and their touring roadshow.

The Macks are brothers Josef and Ben Windheim, Sam Fulwiler, Jacob Michael Perris, and Aidan Harrison. In 2022, the band came out with their lockdown project "Rabbit", a raw and progressive take on rock and roll that launched them towards festivals and tours from Idaho to Mexico City. And just months later, the band followed it up with "Dajiban", building on the creative successes of Rabbit and driving the band into more expansive, catchy, gnarly, and unmistakably "Macks" territory. Now currently on their biggest tour to date, The Macks are poised to push all the boundaries with "The Macks are a Knife" out May 17 via Devil Duck Records. Pungent, pointed, and powerful, the upcoming release contains the band's most realized work to date. With a lineup that has the group firing on all cylinders both live and in the studio, The Macks have folks tuning in and spelling it right.

On their second full length, Chop Shop, you get the sense that there aren't many facets of everyday life that Brooklyn punks Family Vision wouldn't tear apart with scathing takedowns amidst piercing shards of sheet metal guitars and polyrhythmic machine gun rhythms. They're fed up with the state of things but their anger comes from a place of love. Grounded by gritty realism and a sharp sense of melodic song craft and impeccable pacing, their latest record is a confident step into murky waters.

The band's sophomore album Homeworlding is an impressively natural progression from their debut, quickly passing by in a way that demands repeat listens in order to fully comprehend the depth of the lyrics and songwriting.

Sex Mex

Sex Mex is the music of Clark Gray. It was started in 2021 with the idea of doing as much as possible with as few people as possible. It’s easy enough to multitrack everything, but making a band sound good live with hardly anybody on stage can be quite the challenge. However, this approach has made it to where Sex Mex can operate in a DIY fashion with ease. Trial and error have been a constant in Sex Mex. During the first 2 years, things were changing so often that people thought it was a schtick. In reality, it was just a result of experimenting like crazy and trying to find a sound that worked.

Sex Mex is a punk band with some power pop and glam rock thrown into the mix. It is simultaneously catchy and abrasive. They accomplish this with the help of a BOSS-RC3. God bless the BOSS-RC3.

Touring will be ramping up in the following months due to everybody in Sex Mex having the availability to tour and being broke as fuck. Soon to be pulling up in a Honda Accord in a city near you...

Slomo Sapiens

Slomo Sapiens originated back in 2016 when lead guitarist & frontman Ceallaigh Manaaki moved across the planet from New Zealand to America. If you believe in horoscopes, ghosts, and fairy tales, you might think it was fate that Ceallaigh met Greg Geiger (bass) and Jon Pritchard (drums) within his first week in Philadelphia. The three piece dropped their debut EP Hot Milk in 2018 as a concise thesis on Psych, Garage, and Sludge Rock.


As the band evolved, they dug deeper into a psychedelic abyss and crafted their first LP Cabin Fever Dreams. The aptly titled record’s release coincidentally paired with the entire world shutting down for the first time in March of 2020. With no end in sight, the band couldn’t help but feel that fate had played a dirty trick on them this time. The darkest moments on CFD highlight the horrors of isolation with references to Kenneth Anger & Allister Crowley while pulling musical influence from The Cramps & The 13th Floor Elevators.


Since then, the boys explored their Stoner Metal alter egos on Sl​ö​mos Vol 1 in 2021 and joined forces with multi-instrumentalist Michael Sanzo (Dawn Drapes, XIXIX) to expand their presence in Philadelphia’s prolific and infinite music scene.
The band has finally finished their sophomore album The Holy Babble and has already released the first single ‘Tongues ii’. With ‘Tongues ii’, the band unleashes their maximalist sound, complete with a Krautrock-inspired intro, swarming textures, and an aphotic depth of layers. It's almost as if the psych rock monster they created has mutated, sprouted a few extra legs, and reached a new stage of evolution. A stage post-sapien.

Rebuilder

Rebuilder is Sal Ellington (vocals, guitar), Craig Stanton (vocals/guitar), Daniel Carswell (bass), Brandon Phillips (drums/guitars), Harley Cox (drums)

6 times nominated for Best Punk Band In Boston by Boston Music Awards

“Rebuilder need to get on the road with some of skate-punk and pop-punk’s great masters, like the Descendents and NOFX. Their one-two punch of two lead vocalists and straight barre-chord punk is catchy as hell, and deserves to be heard by the masses.” – Do 617

“Loud, fast, pop punk with attitude.” – Daykamp Music

“Rebuilder are the best kind of in-between from hardcore punk and early 90’s skate punk. Bigass hooks, singalong choruses, gritty palm-muted guitars…go do a kickflip, break your wrist, and go to a Rebuilder show in your cast. That’s how it should be.” – Adam Parshall Allston Pudding

“A killer punk screed needn’t exceed two minutes. Economical and phenomenal.” – Jed Gottlieb Boston Herald

Sadlands

Five Hundred Bucks

Five Hundred Bucks is a Philadelphia band whose members have played in bands such as The Holy Mess, Captain, We’re Sinking, TeenAgers, Seagulls—and the list goes on. In fact, just as the project started taking shape, Jeff Riddle, the songwriter behind Five Hundred Bucks, was asked to take part in another creative project altogether: a movie called Uncle Peckerhead and its soundtrack. Maybe it’s this reason that $500, the band’s first full-length, feels so narrative, full of characters and conflicts—stories that Riddle sings about both his own experience and experiences of those around him. There’s a sepia, Americana tone that tints the the punk-rock restlessness on $500—a warbling organ solo here, a bluesy guitar lick there, stripes of acoustic guitar—and only serves to darken the already dirty the edges of this album. “The record, on a whole, has an air of gleeful nihilism,” says Riddle, “or dare I even say optimistic nihilism to it, whatever the hell that means. There’s a lot of ‘I really want to give up or quit, but I don’t know what the hell else I would do so I might as well stick with it,' which is a sentiment that I’ve felt when it comes to music or just even life in general.” It’s this vulnerability that makes Five Hundred Bucks’s music feel so honest and relatable—and why $500 feels so refreshing in an era where appearances seem so important. Better still is knowing that this album, which already stems from a lush vine of creativity, will likely cultivate even more rich, meaningful music in one way or another.

Where did Nordista Freeze come from? Everyone who saw it happen has a different explanation, but they agree on one thing: a flaming blue orb came flying out of the sky and smashed into the earth, and there, lying sprawled in the crater, was a man wearing only his underwear with a tambourine in his hand. He rose to his knees, vomited profusely, and took off running over the rim of the crater and into the distance yelling “Na Na''. Where did he come from?!Maybe outer space? His first two records were called Space Travel and Cosmic Haus. Is he a time traveler from the past? His 60s pysch-pop anthems and bouncy flow say so. A time traveler from the future? Many believe he’s like a Terminator 2 Terminator sent back to save the music industry from self-destruction. All this is speculation. His origin notwithstanding, he’s brought a transcendent message, a secret of life that transmits through his legendary live performance. Come hear it and believe.

Rui Gabriel

Rui Gabriel’s journey to become one of indie rock's most vibrant and perceptive voices is certainly unconventional. Born in Venezuela and raised in Nicaragua, the now-Indiana-based songwriter spent his 20s in New Orleans and playing in beloved bands like Lawn, where he’s a co-songwriter and co-lead singer with Mac Folger. While that band finds the sweet spot between sing-a-long power pop and bracing post-punk, Gabriel’s solo debut efforts use a lighter palate that combines ethereal pop with ‘80s synth textures, and slacker-rock charm. This is a testament to growing up and Gabriel’s disarming lyrical sensibility.

Foyer Red

Brooklyn’s Foyer Red makes sweet yet abrasive songs that careen into delightfully unexpected places. They bounce between time signatures, boast bass lines and guitar riffs that clang and shimmer, and feature vocals that seamlessly crisscross over each other. Whenever the songs feel like they might dissolve into near-chaos, they’re reined in by earworm hooks and masterful leftfield pop songwriting. It’s organized clamor.

Just a year after the release of his acclaimed LP Tyrannical Vibes, the prolific composer and Brooklyn-based songwriter Michael Kolb is back with another project under his last name, Power of Thought. Where Tyrannical Vibes is a heavily orchestrated labor of love, Power of Thought is an exercise in spontaneity, in working closely with friends to prove that clever songwriting and groovy arrangements make for an achievement in creative power. While Kolb projects are not known for subtlety, Power of Thought has a particularly exciting maximalism, as the live recording process between Kolb and his bandmates yields a fanciful, free-flowing exchange between keys, clarinet, vocals, percussion, and more across six tracks.

Ask Carol

Ask Carol, the alternative indie-rock duo from the remote Norwegian mountain community of Auma, defies their small size with a huge and powerful sound – featuring two guitars, drums, synth, and Carol's innovative bass and guitar system.

The female-fronted band from Chicago, who are also the best of friends, use music as a tool to connect and most importantly, channel feelings around the craziness of modern life.

Spirit Ghost

Spirit Ghost is the creative moniker of Alex Whitelaw. It was started in 2012 as a bedroom pop project outside of Providence, Rhode Island, as a way to play and write music without having to wait for others to have time to do it. It began slowly and the songs weren't very good at first, but over time the songs became okay! And Alex could convince people to play with him. And then those people would quit, but sometimes they wouldn't! And that is the Spirit Ghost that you have today. It has developed past its humble beginnings into a more fully developed sound that draws upon Alex's wide pool of influences, from garage and surf rock to bossa nova and country. As a result the sound is wholly contemporary while still paying homage to the distinct sounds and tones of the 60's.

Jordy Searcy

In 2020, after Jordy Searcy made a name as a homegrown touring act and a landmark songwriter for his generation, he left Nashville behind and hopped into his touring-van-turned-camper and drove to the west coast. The 2022 album Daylight is the sound of that uncertain adventurous time, surfing up and down the west coast, writing songs in remote outdoor locations in solitude for weeks at a time and touring the country with friends.

All of that changed in February 2022 when he met his now-wife, Michel Janse. A previous album titled “UFO” had been written, recorded and scrapped, because jordy found a new direction-The End Of Us.

The End Of Us is an album about endings and beginnings-the end of the adventure a single musician in his 20’s discovering the world and taking risks, and the beginning of building a life with the person you want to spend it with. The end of relentlessly chasing a career in a music city, and the beginning of a quiet creative life in the small beach town of Oceanside, CA where jordy now lives. For his wife Michel, this record also has special meaning-this is her 2nd marriage, and the record explores her story and her healing process.

Enlisting the help of longtime friend and hometown buddy Phillip Vo to write and produce, this record is energetic, California summery, Beatlesy, and fresh organic pop all in one. Relying on craft, inspiration, and fun, “The End Of Us” is a no-skips good time.

“Everyone’s life has little endings, its one of the only things you can rely on. For me, it doesn’t matter what you leave behind when something ends, its what you build going forward. That’s what this album is about-allowing yourself to become a new person, with a new person. I can’t wait for people to hear these songs!”

Decent Criminal

Consisting of core members, brother’s Tristan (singer/guitarist) and Hunter Martinez (drummer), Decent Criminal started out of the roots of Hunter’s previous project of the same name. Of which serves as tribute to their cousin serving a life sentence on insufficient evidence. Mending their sound through local punk and indie influences early on, the band relocated to Long Beach in the fall of 2016 following the release of their debut album. The debut marked by being the bands first album with Tristan as the primary song writer. The bands other guitarist, Brian Gellman, began writing and singing songs alongside Tristan for the bands follow up 2017 album ‘Bloom’. With bassist Jesse Hernandez taking original bassist’ Alex Kouninos place in later 2017, the band began touring more frequently, expanding touring to Europe following the release of their next album ‘Bliss’. Now based in Los Angeles, Decent Criminal spent 2023 touring in support of their album ‘There’s More To It Than Climbing”.

The Dracu-Las

The Dracu-Las are a four piece rock n roll band based in Jersey City and Brooklyn. Formed in the fall of 2021 with diversified sounds of garage and punk with surf, psych, and 60’s girl group elements. Their first vinyl record, ”Fall Asleep When I’m Dead,” is out April 4th.

Bummer Camp

Bummer Camp serve up disarmingly melodic grunge-gaze that cuts straight to the heart.


Originally forged as a solo loop project from NYC scene mainstay Eli Frank, the band has grown through two EP releases into a dynamic 4-piece. Work is currently underway on the first Bummer Camp full-length. 

Wifey

Wifey is a Brooklyn power-pop band formed by Teddy Grey and Carly Kerr, two hot dorks who prove that the theater-kid to punk-rocker pipeline is still claiming innocent victims. After working together on an R-rated Garfield musical (don’t ask), the two bonded over a mutual love of bubblegrunge, emo, and DIY, and began crafting the catchiest songs ever written. They were soon joined in marriage by Mickey Blurr on lead guitar, and Chris Canieso on drums, and the rest is history. The honeymoon phase never has to end with Wifey, thanks to their earworm hooks, enticingly questionable lyrics, and lovely harmonies that could only come from the happiest of marriages. Matrimony never looked so good.

O. Wake is a band from NYC who's probing songwriting combines elements of art pop and indie rock to explore the anxieties and absurdities of today's world through witty vignettes and sweeping soundscapes. Started in 2019 by songwriter and multimedia artist, Ofer Shouval, the 5-piece outfit transfixes and delights audiences with a genre-bending live set featuring guest performances from deranged AI chatbots, poets, mysterious orbs, and a diy motion-controlled lighting device called a Luminin.

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.

Brennan Wedl w/ Comet + Superswell

Brennan Wedl headlines The Broadway with Comet and Superswell!

Brennan Wedl

Brennan Wedl documents those dizzying years spent in the world of ‘twenty-something’. Her radically unvarnished accounts detail an expansive universe that interweaves the everyday with scenes that might include catholic church camps, queer awakenings, one-night stands, or collapsed ‘forever’ relationships. The result? An eminently relatable catalog of moments when profound realizations arrive unexpectedly. 

While she has been steadily releasing poignant dispatches as a solo artist since 2016, in 2024 she takes a striking step forward with a new series of singles that will be released via Kill Rock Stars. These recordings capture Wedl at her most unbounded and creatively impulsive; delivering sweetly lilting country one minute, and crashing rock the next, ringing out with jangling brightness at times and introspective in hushed acoustic guitar picking elsewhere. 

This impulsiveness is something that Wedl wrestles with daily. Much of her material is indirectly inspired by her quest to live cleanly after the realization that she couldn’t live the life she wanted when drugs and alcohol were involved. However, in a move that is definitive of her approach, she explodes this specific experience into an allegory of life at large. Central is her tug of war between moderation and hedonism. A battle that she may, in any instant, apply to intoxicants, relationships, spirituality, sexual liberty, and beyond. The bubbling undercurrent throughout is a commitment to find comfort in restraint.

Wedl’s knack for encapsulating the moment has been apparent since co-founding the teen Boston band Dazey & The Scouts in 2017 and through their viral resurgence in 2020 as a new audience found themselves drawn to the allure of their self-described “hormonal freak show”. As she heads into 2024 her newest compositions prove that she remains viscerally attached to her emotional core and an acutely gifted narrator of life’s highs and lows.

Comet

Comet is a nu-grunge/post punk musician based in New York City. Her underground hit EP "Two-Winged'' is full of whispers that turn to screams, walls of guitars and otherworldly high ends that will make your spine shiver and heart ache. Comet's lyrical prowess offers new insight into our dark cruel world from a feminine gaze; backed by her band she is ready to take on this world and the next

Superswell

Formed in 2022, Superswell made a strong impression with its energetic performances in NYC and the DIY college scene in upstate NY. The band comprises frontman Dan Avedis Masotti, drummer Harrison Kravis, guitarist Robbie Woll, and bassist Desmond Smith.  In 2023, the band released its first singles, showcasing a fun alternative rock sound.  Later this year, they will release their debut EP and share their dark, heavy side.  It is engineered by Brian DiMeglio (Superbloom, Stay Inside, Gluehead) and mastered by Grammy nominated Will Yip (PÆRISH, Title Fight, Turnstile).

The band released their crowd favorite "Not This Time" in November 2023 followed by the release of power ballad “alignment” in January 2024. Their latest single "Never Too High" is set for release 4/20/24.

vvhen

"Brooklyn-based band - 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, Obleek), 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."

Emperor X

The brainchild of cosmic lo-fi Florida-born indie folk artist, Chad R. Matheny, Emperor X began his aural assault in the late '90s with the release of his debut, The Joytakers' Rakes/Stars on the Ceiling, Pleasantly Kneeling. Emperor X would go on to build a sizable grassroots audience in the U.S. and Europe through constant touring, quirky promotions that involved burying physical media in geocache sites, and a prolific string of releases including standouts like 2011's Western Teleport and 2017's Oversleepers International.


Matheny's musical interest began with a Casio SK-1 keyboard he was given at the age of nine. After acquiring a Tascam 4-track recorder in his teens, he began to record songs that showed his quirky mix of surreal, offbeat lyrics, haphazard arrangements, and pop sensibilities, eventually resulting in 1998's The Joytakers' Rakes/Stars on the Ceiling, Pleasantly Kneeling. Over the next several years, he worked as a high school science teacher and pursued a physics degree while recording music on the side. With the release of 2004's Tectonic Membrane/Thin Strip on an Edgeless Platform, he decided to devote himself fully to his music. Legally blind since a 1994 car accident, Matheny relied on the Greyhound bus for his touring needs, crisscrossing the country promoting independent releases like 2005's Central Hug/Friend Army/Fractal Dunes and 2009's The Blythe Archives, Vols. 1-2.


While based in Los Angeles, Matheny released his next album, 2011's critically acclaimed Western Teleport, via the Bar/None label, and announced the coordinates for 41 cassettes containing B-sides and early versions of the album's songs which had been buried at different locations throughout the U.S. In 2012, Matheny relocated to Europe, settling in Berlin. During his first tours of Europe, he found the public transit system of train and buses far preferable to that of the U.S. Because of his circumstances, he is known to tour light with a guitar and a backpack full of guitar pedals, which would be heard on his next release, the 2013 concert set, Nineteen Live Recordings, a collection of several years' worth of unusual live performances. Initially intended as an EP, 2014's The Orlando Sentinel was adjusted mere weeks before its release to include nine more tracks of an experimental electronic dance nature, making it a full-length release.


Around this time, Matheny was diagnosed with cancer and underwent an invasive bout of chemotherapy and surgery. While recovering in Berlin, he began writing the material for his next album, 2017's Oversleepers International, on which he discussed his experience with cancer and the European health care system. ~ James Christopher Monger & Timothy Monger, Rovi

Vivien Goldman

“No-One’s More Punk than Vivien Goldman,” pronounced Pitchfork Magazine. In that freewheeling spirit, the boundary-busting Vivien Goldman is a writer, educator, broadcaster -- and a musician who has contributed to The Slits, X-Ray Specs and of course Flying Lizards, too. A Londoner, she has lived in Paris and Jamaica and now resides in New York. Since she started out in the vigorous British rock press of the 1970s, often working with Bob Marley (whom she is accredited with discovering and is the subject of two of her books).

She considers Bob, Fela Kuti, Ornette Coleman and The Slits her mentors and greatest personal influences. Known as a pioneer of music journalism, feminism through music, modern musicology, experimental recording, and most recently for the first time in her long career - the stage, she has stunned New York and beyond with her new very Jamaican-influenced live band.As of late, she has an LP, an EP and a re-press of her hit compilation 'Revenge of the She-Punks' out on vinyl and is currently working on a remix album that includes remixes of her songs from friends Denardo Coleman, Marius DeVries, Jordan Bovell, Joaquin Claussell and more.

David Liebe Hart

Known for his roles on Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job! and other Adult Swim series, David Liebe Hart is an outsider musician, actor, puppeteer, UFOlogist, and train buff. David’s vast and eclectic catalog includes songs about aliens, food, trains, and failed relationships, yielding such cult hits as "Salame," "Father & Son" and "Puberty." Live shows provide an intimate, raw, and wildly unpredictable experience with this fiercely unique artist. Often hilarious, engaging and confusing all at once, the David Liebe Hart show is one-of-a-kind and always memorable.

With Jonah “Th’ Mole” Mociun as gadget-wielding backing musician, Liebe Hart’s performance includes songs, animated visuals, puppetry, storytelling, crowd interaction and more surprises.

Tredici Bacci

New York-based 13-piece ensemble Tredici Bacci was formed by composer Simon Hanes in spring of 2013 as a vehicle to bring his unique musical vision to the stage, and to seduce the ears and minds of the northeast underground music scene.The instrumentation of female vocals, string quartet, horns, accordion and rhythm section is specifically designed to capture the musical qualities of Hanes' initial inspiration - the music of italian films from the 1960s-70s. From giallo to spaghetti-western, Morricone to Rota to Cipriani, Hanes has made it his duty to absorb it all, and allow it to inform his original, very personal compositions.

Since its impetus, Tredici Bacci has played extensively throughout the northeast, performing in bars, galleries, warehouses and concert halls, leaving a trail of Campari bottles, confetti, and whipped cream in their wake. Each performance is a celebration - the audience revels as the band deftly performs is technically demanding and cinematic music. Collaboratins along the way include such musicians as Elysian Fields, Ryan Power, Ruth Garbus, JG Thirlwell, Charlie Looker, Vincenzo Vasi, and underground legend Gary Wilson.

TB has released three records - "The Thirteen Kisses EP" from 2013, "Vai! Vai! Va! (Musica dal filmato originale)”, and “Amore Per Tutti” from 2016. Set for a 2019 release by NNA Tapes, will feature Hanes’ most adventurous compositions and arrangements to date, as well as an augmented 20-piece version of the band.
