“Boston born Chicago based based post-punk collective Oddysseys are making a big splash with the release of their brand new album titled “Odd Behavior”. The four-piece consists of Christian Treon, Paul DiRico, Josh Corbin, and Mark Pangilinan. The group’s sound is a dark, bleak mixture that is intriguing and mystifying when you first take a listen, as the band’s uses a combination of creative musical measures to keep the audience’s attention span at bay here. They seem to be making a deep impact when it comes to wowing the listeners. While the band’s sound doesn’t have flashy melodies or catchy hooks, the band’s creative resolve will definitely come into play when creating your impression on this local group, which is blossoming into something very special. An intriguing group that is well worth of taking a deeper listen to.” ​– Music Box Pete

Indie Folk/Alt Country duo from Chicago. Playfully perilous, like a paper tiger stalking a paper gazelle through the maze on the back of a cereal box. Toy Dynamite can brighten your day or break your heart. It's all a matter of where you place your attention. On their 2022 debut EP, "Sour Sugar," they've perfected this recipe. 1 cup of alt country, 8 oz of indie folk, 3 tbsp of art pop, a pinch of jazz, twee and shoe gaze. The blues to taste. Plate and garnish with some parsley. Multi-instrumentalist, Shawn Connors (Last False Hope/The Dirty Generals) & Ukitarist, Debbie Jean McGovern (Blue Ribbon Glee Club) make a wonderfully complimentary songwriting duo. Their voices blend together like adult beverages with tiny umbrellas. Make it a double; pun intended.
