band forever, band in love   Capital Soiree is an indie pop band from Chicago consisting of four brothers.*  Starting as a childhood trio between best friends James Kourafas (vocals/guitar), Max Romero (bass), and Steven Rejdukowski (guitar), the band has grown from basement practices to playing some of the most acclaimed stages in Chicago; all while maintaining the enthusiasm of some neighborhood kids with a dream.  With the addition of Dean Sinclair (drums), Capital Soiree's latest EP "Reruns" demonstrates the band at their most current: a bit melancholic, weathered by change, and nostalgic for the past but still hopeful for the future.    *not actually related but still in love

Alibi is an indie pop-rock band formed in 2019 from Phoenix, Arizona, bringing back the energy and hooks of early-2000s alternative music. With catchy melodies and modern production, their sound is inspired by The Killers, Maroon 5, The Police/Sting, and Arctic Monkeys. Now a four-piece band active across Arizona, Alibi is playing shows and working to bring their sound to the mainstream—one song, one video, and one post at a time.
