Geography is important, so here's a rundown: Signals Midwest is an indie-rock-tinged punk band from Cleveland, Ohio. Members currently reside in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. Since forming in 2008, they have released five full-length albums and a slew of split 7"s and EPs. "Siggies", as one particularly eloquent fan dubbed the group somewhere along the line, has played just shy of 500 shows in North America, Europe, the UK, Australia and Japan. “Layovers”, due out in July 2025 via their longtime collaborator Lauren Records, is a career-spanning collection of previously unreleased songs, B-sides, 7” tracks and covers that span the band’s nearly two decades of existence.

84 Tigers features Mike Reed (guitar/vocals), Ben Reed (bass), and Jono Diener (drums). After years of perennial touring and releases with their previous critically-adored outfits, Small Brown Bike and The Swellers, 84 Tigers has emerged as the three musicians' primary creative outlet in music. The trio immediately bonded, having gone down a similar path of pursuing a dream, making a splash, then exiting when the time felt right. As Diener noted, “The pandemic changed the way we all looked at music. For once it wasn't about the next tour, or the next show. We had to laser focus on the music, so that's exactly what we did. I've been a big fan of the Reed brothers' projects for years, so it's incredible to be a part of one. It's also odd — the immediate chemistry we had when it came to writing and playing together. It's not often you find people who have a built-in shared brain for that kind of stuff."

Five Hundred Bucks is a filthy, beautiful punk rock fever dream clawing its way out of Philadelphia, featuring members of The Holy Mess, Captain, We’re Sinking, Teen Agers, and Seagulls—stitched together by Jeff Riddle: songwriter, guitarist, accidental philosopher. The bastard child of burned-out idealism and a four-month songwriting bender in a garage, their latest record Pest Sounds sounds like someone set their old dreams on fire and recorded the screams. These songs are full of ghosts: generational addiction, dead friends, southern doom, and the kind of youthful rot you can only write about once it’s already eaten half your soul. It’s punk rock with a bleeding heart and a busted compass, stumbling toward meaning in the wreckage.
