Off Season, regarded as the Midwest's loudest band, provide furious riffs and chest-slamming performances. The two-piece rock unit comprises drummer/vocalist Quinn Wilson and guitarist Christos Poulos. Working with their producer, Paul Bennett, they have recently dropped their new single "FACELESS" to high praise locally and from online fans. With Off Season's innovative take on the new wave of rock music, they have quickly established themselves as a leading group in the local rock scene of their hometown and region. Quinn and Christos are gearing up to head back into the studio to work on more long-awaited music and eventually, their first EP.

Rain Garden is a four piece alt-rock band based in Chicago, IL. Rain Garden emerged as a project in 2018 from the makeshift bedroom studio of vocalist/guitarist Miranda Dianovsky and has evolved as long time friends Vincent Byas, Harley Reid and Maya Halko joined to adapt the music to be played live. Together on their upcoming debut album the four explore dynamics in every sense of the word; pairing loud with soft, sweetness with abrasiveness, and floating vocals with deep, swirling walls of sound.

We are toss! a Chicago Rock Band formed in 2024.

Chicago’s Wide Orbit is a Midwest cough drop for the sore soul. With their debut album entitled “Introducing… Wide Orbit” releasing in 2025 on US label, 22TWENTY, their introduction to the scene is a convincing lure that shines from every angle. Recorded in a room too small to even fit the entire band, this homegrown group of college-town friends has utilized practical limits to create magic. Etching out their own sound that’s subtle in its prowess and easy to connect to, the 6 piece band, led by Ryan Tuohy, proves to be as unpretentious as it is youthful. He hones melodies with a unique honesty, but before it all gets too innocent, there’s still a hue of irreverence that shines through. It’s the sound of misfits looking for a musical home, an orbit of their own. Group harmonies, instrumentals, a mid-song hiatus, 1/2 time grooves and piano solos all contribute to their idiosyncratic sound. The core of the album was tracked live, imbuing it with a certain canter and looseness. After years of playing the stylistic chameleon, Tuohy has touched down on a path that feels true to himself. The devoted songwriter has written and produced a DIY American daydream; an album that was written to be played live, to be interacted with, to hit the road.
