Portland, Oregon band Love Hiss is a time capsule of infectiously catchy 90’s-esque Indie rock in the mold of The Breeders, Pixies, Archers of Loaf, and Sebadoh. Love Hiss is the songwriting vehicle for Richard Marshall, formerly of legendary Alternative Tentacles freak-rock band Alice Donut (with whom he co-wrote the acclaimed albums The Untidy Suicides of Your Degenerate Children and Pure Acid Park).   Love Hiss’s debut album 'Hello Comrade!' was released in September of 2023.   Blending thoughtful songcraft with a Gen X insouciance, 'Hello Comrade!' melds themes of millennial cults, lost love, and existential angst with guitar-driven ear candy hooks. Marshall (lead vocals/guitar) recorded the album alone in his practice space during the pandemic and then reached out to local Portland musicians Matt Gannon (Lord Master) on bass, Brooke Bina (The Silos) on guitar/vocals and Lukas Schneider (Neuma, New York Kids) on drums to bring the party to the people. Love Hiss is currently performing at venues in the Pacific Northwest.

Shining through a tidal wave of darkness and uncertainty, High Glow is floating somewhere between a euphoric daydream and an acid flashback. Inspired by the imperfections of life, learning from your mistakes, or making more along the way. Their sound is reminiscent of the early 90s with nostalgic undertones of post-punk, no-wave, sludge rock, and shoegaze. High Glow formed in 2021 by Tyler Rachal & Keith Vidal and released their first EP in the fall of 2022. Andrea Tragesser joined shortly after on Bass helping to solidify their sound coined as "Sludge-Gaze". In late 2023, Keith would depart to focus on another project. Daniel Pouliot joined the group in 2024 on drums (Horse the Band, Ancestors) and since has helped to elevate the High Glow sound to new heights. Since its musical conception, High Glow has played a handful of shows from Portland to Seattle and is actively booking for the future. They are slated to be in the studio for a new record this fall, hoping to release in early 2025.
