Armor for Sleep formed in New Jersey in 2001 and quickly became one of the defining voices of the 2000s emo and post-hardcore movement. Led by singer and songwriter Ben Jorgensen, the band gained a devoted following with their breakthrough 2005 concept album What to Do When You Are Dead and continued evolving with Smile for Them before disbanding in 2009. After reuniting for anniversary tours and releasing 2022’s The Rain Museum, Armor for Sleep returned in 2025 with There Is No Memory, widely regarded as the band’s strongest and most emotionally powerful album to date.

Formed in 2017, Flycatcher's ability to pair sing-along melodies with gut-punching instrumentals, proves their power in casting an empathetic and universal eye through a balance of early-00’s indie merged with 90’s alternative rock. The New Jersey-based quartet of Gregory Thomas Pease (guitar, vocals), Justin VanNiekerk (guitar), Jack Delle Cava (bass) and Connor Carmelengo (drums), are known for their undeniably anthemic arrangements. Their 2023 EP, Stunt, garnered acclaim for its ear-worm choruses, tight textural dynamics and driving percussion. Now working with Memory Music’s legendary producer Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight), the band looks to expand on their 2023 statement with one simple goal, writing the best songs that they can.
