    Rigometrics

    Making some serious noise in the Northeast music scene, Rigometrics provides an original, raw high-energy rock n’ roll sound that’s transformative and undeniably unique. Their signature blend of multiple genres seamlessly unites classic rock with a contemporary edge, comprised of explosive guitar solos by Josef Berger effortlessly shredding through intricate melodies; Derek Haney providing a foundation through pulsating beats on the drums, and Keenan Hendricks hitting an extraordinary vocal range with hammering piano skills. Together, the three-piece band delivers performances that leave diverse audiences in awe and garner a dedicated fan base.


    Having only formed in 2021, the three-piece band has already embarked on six tours down the East Coast, sold out 300-capacity venues, and headlined fifteen major shows in Maine, all while working independently to gain traction and showcase their unique sound across the Northeast. Their Debut album “Rig N’ Roll” was Released in September 2022 followed by single, “Share The Fortune”. Those early releases created a buzz for their newest EP, “No Time to Waste”, which was released in July 2023, and their latest live album “Live in Maine” released Feb 2nd. These projects are being shared through constant energetic live performances and an undeniable stage presence throughout the Northeast via a renovated school bus that the Rigometrics calls home when on the road.

    Nervous Nikki and the Chill Pills

    Nervous Nikki and the Chill Pills are an indie rock band based in the suburbs of Philly led by drummer and vocalist Nicole Bauza. Sonically, they orbit in a unique asteroid belt of influences; a seldom seen place where rock and roll, hip hop, and folk music float together in unison. Together Nicole, Nathan, Doug, and Kendal bring you punchy bass lines, melodic guitar riffs, and group singing powered by raw emotion.

    Fo Daniels
    Fo Daniels combines the raw intensity of a rock and roll band with a singer-songwriter's attention to lyrical and emotional detail. With a general disregard for trends and genre restriction, Daniels and his band blaze their own trail, quickly growing their diverse catalog of records- which contains a wide variety of influences but is united by the common themes of originality, heart, and rebel spirit. Their tenacious touring schedule has left audiences deeply inspired up and down the East Coast, spreading the word about a sound which can be best described as "pretty and gritty".
    https://www.fodaniels.com/

    The Upsides

    The Upsides are a 4-piece rock act based in New York City, consisting of brothers Matt and Dan Fullam with longtime friends Matt DaSilva and Hart Mechlin. The band creates a distinct blend of "shimmering surf rock" (Our Sound Music) paired with more overdriven guitar work reminiscent of the early aughts rock revival. The result is a sound that is "accessible, unique, and timeless" (Glide Magazine).

    Their self-titled debut album was released in May of 2024, supported by a hometown release show at Mercury Lounge. Will Oliver of We All Want Someone to Shout For described "Jump In", the first single off the album, as "channeling elements of classic New York City rock with a garage rock sensibility, with 90s jangle pop and rock guitar work that feels like a blend of The Strokes and Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever. It’s impossible to resist its delightful nature and charm."


    The album's ten tracks are a succinct yet dynamic collection of tunes that offer everything from the My Bloody Valentine-influenced "We Need More Data" to the wistful and downtempo "No Particular Hours" which opens up to an 80s ballad-esque guitar solo while also channeling modern indie acts like Slow Pulp. Drawing from an array of influences, The Upsides' authentic production style, genuine lyricism, and recently newfound willingness to go for a big hook are the common threads tying together this first full-length offering into a captivating and refreshing listen.

    https://theupsidesnyc.bandcamp.com/

    Ridge Runners (Acoustic)
    Ridge Runners are a Philadelphia rock band founded by Coleman Rigg. The band is fresh off the release of their second LP "A Place I Thought I'd Never Be". The album spans far across the rock genre, from pulsing, riffy rock, to softer, meditative sounds of introspection. With the album, Rigg tells a story of hope and optimism as someone who travels through warping time, self realization, and love and loss. The band continues to tour and promote the record through the Eastern US.

    The Minks

    The Minks are Nashville’s “psychedelic-blues” band, heavy on the rock and roll. We’re talking low-down, all the way, purse-lipped, eyes-shut, head-whirling kind of groove. In 2015, on a search for creative community, Nikki Barber started the band based on the idea that "if you don't create, you'll combust". Just like a rock and roll circus, you never know what you're going to get, but you know it’ll be good. The band’s palpable sound has roots in every music fan’s top ten—from Lou to Patti to Creedence to Hank - but blends them into something totally original and current. Mixed with raw, jangly instrumentation and soulful saccharine vocals, it’s as much a throwback as it is an answer to the often overlooked underbelly of Nashville’s rock and roll scene. Look for them, on tour forever, spreading the gospel of letting your hair down and having a good time.
    https://theminksss.bandcamp.com/

    Andorra
    “Soaked in Bud Light and regret,” Andorra is Kevin McCall, Jordan Petrellis, Michael Trycieckyj, and Dante DiLoreto. The band formed in 2010 in Philadelphia, PA and named themselves after the respective city suburb (not the country.) The group self-produced and released their third studio album, "Family Tree." Philly Live writes "the album exists within a boundary-less space of heavy rock and basement blues. All songs on the full album are explorative, yet relate to each other in different ways, fully emphasizing that familial theme."

    Rock n roll garage pop from Philadelphia.

    Thank You, I'm Sorry
    Anxiety is the first word sung on Thank You, I'm Sorry's first album. Back then it was just vocalist Lleen Dow's (they/them) voice and an acoustic, but three years and a full band, another album and several heart-rending singles later it's still on their mind. Anxiety never really goes away, but you can learn to cope and how to enjoy everything else. The respites, the joy, the excitement when anxiety takes a backseat. Thank You, I'm Sorry is growing, leaming, indulging, experimenting and figuring it out. Together. Thank You, I'm Sorry came together as a band to flesh out quiet, lonely songs Lleen built on their own, and they haven't stopped exploring and expanding their sound since. Bee Schreiner's (they/them) basslines effortlessly pull songs forward, knowing just when to nudge the band to avoid getting caught in an anxiety spiral. The drums from Sage Livergood (they/them) bring everything together, constantly keeping pace while poking out into fills that feel like they could shatter apart at any moment, yet always finding their way back. Abe Anderson's (he/him) and Lleen's guitar lines intertwine and bounce, refusing to sit still anywhere long enough to get bored. Thank You, I'm Sorry find ways to piece together parts that feel impossible to pin down or coalesce, making something beautiful and catchy that will bounce around your head for weeks.

    Under the Rug


    Under The Rug, the Austin, Texas-based indie outfit, has crafted a unique, heart-on-sleeve musical journey over their decade-long career. Led by the dynamic trio of vocalist and guitarist Casey Dayan, alongside the deft musicianship of guitarist Sean Campbell and drummer Brendan McQueeney, the band seamlessly blends an eclectic mix of indie, folk, and Americana, all while remaining steadfast in their commitment to the art of storytelling. 


    Known for their DIY marketing efforts, the band has built a fierce and dedicated fan base through direct-to-fan handwritten letters and their membership service, The Secret Hideout. Their dedication to songwriting as a craft is evident, delivering earnest tracks that resonate with listeners worldwide. Whether performing at sold-out shows or writing on the go in their beat-up van, the band continues to resonate with fans, capturing both hearts and imaginations. Under The Rug has garnered cheers from American SongwriterRolling Stone IndiaAtwood Magazine, and even received a co-sign from The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle.  


    Building on the success of their acclaimed Junior LP, Homesick For Another World, and the viral sensation of their hit single, "Lonesome and Mad"—which topped Spotify's search charts in the US and continues to dominate virality playlists in numerous other countries—Under The Rug is set to sustain their momentum. The band eagerly anticipates their upcoming release, happiness is easy, and is preparing for their headlining US tour in support.


    Under The Rug’s upcoming release, happiness is easy, is a sprawling 2-part, 30-track exploration of the challenges of pursuing happiness, delivered with the band’s signature irreverence, irony, and dark humor. Produced with the help of David Peters, and featuring co-writers like Sam Hollander (Panic! At the Disco, Fitz and the Tantrums) and Mason Jennings, the album blends poignant personal themes with universal questions on life and fulfillment. 


    With songs like lead single "mad girl's love song," an interpretation of Sylvia Plath’s famed villanelle, title track "happiness is easy," and "i don't want to cry in my car anymore," each offering a tongue-in-cheek look into the headspace of lyricist Dayan, the album navigates topics such as self-discovery, authenticity, drug use, and loneliness, while providing moments of levity and insight. Dayan wrote happiness is easy as a reflection on coming to terms with identity and the pursuit of joy in a complicated world. “It’s the least fictional thing I’ve written,” she reveals. The album is filled with gentle arpeggios, evocative lyrics, and piercing guitar melodies that reveal the band's growth and commitment to authenticity. It's not just a meditation on personal struggles but also a search for meaning and connection in the modern age.
