Garage Rock
The Pack AD
The Pack AD
Garage Rock
Destruction and melody, acid wit and bruising vocals-this is the Pack A.D. Singer/guitarist Becky Black and drummer Maya Miller have made a sound so gigantic, so fierce and raw and empowering, that it's easy to forget there are just two people behind this brilliant, carefully constructed havoc. Shredding and pounding their way through every song, the Pack A.D. swallows you whole inside their fearless Franken-blend of heavy psychpop/garage-rock. Their lyrics are wild nests, human and complex: darkly funny disclosures about depression; indictments of digital excess; grief-stricken fire bombs; sly crusades against stupidity.

Dream Pop
see night is the indie-rock project of San Francisco songwriter Linda Sao. As a full 4-piece band (with drummer Cory Aboud, guitarist Patrick Andrews, and bassist AJ Marquez) or solo—a dynamic set alternates between hard-driving and dreamy. Bringing both lyric-driven songs and instrumentals, see night's cathartic tracks are built on haunting vocals, swelling drums, and atmospheric guitars that together straddle somewhere between '90s indie rock and shoegazy dream pop. After two self-released EPs, stateside band tours, and EU/UK solo tours, Pavement’s Bob Nastanovich put out the band’s first vinyl in late 2020—the “Eloquence” 7-inch on his Brokers Tip Records. Finally touring off that pandemic release, the band marked a return to live shows with Boise’s Treefort Music Fest in September 2021 and is looking forward to 2022 touring and an upcoming Nashville-recorded album of intimate pandemic-penned bedroom songs.
see night has opened for Bonnie Prince Billy, Widowspeak, The Pack A.D., Rogue Wave, John Vanderslice, Upset, Sunwatchers, Jenn Champion, Lady Lamb, and more.
Some kind words from kind people:
"Fronted by Linda Sao, San Francisco's see night makes engaging and thoughtful rock songs. Their debut 7" includes the inviting 'You Are Us,' the prepossessing 'Chasm,' and the potent 'Eloquence.'" — Bob Nastanovich (Pavement, Silver Jews)
"A stunner, dreamy, and strummy, and psychedelic, moody and melancholic...equal parts Pixies/Breeders pop smarts and shoegaze-y Mazzy Star haze...slow building to something much more epic, maybe like a girl pop Godspeed...with a lush sonic palette and a propensity for epicry" — Aquarius Records (Andee Connors/A Minor Forest)
"Head-on, severe, and cool folk rock with an indie stylee" — Record Grouch (Jim McHugh, Sunwatchers)
"Somewhere between sweeping post-rock soundscapes and dreamy shoegaze-pop lies the latest soon-to-break-out San Francisco indie band. The 4-piece channel a bit of Pixies, Mogwai, Sonic Youth, and the Breeders" — Santa Cruz Alt-Weekly
"YOU ARE US has an excellent grasp of what makes indie rock work. Trippy, intense, and soothing all at once." — Musigator Rock
"Captivating, subtly gripping, delicately engrossing... Listen closely and you can pick out some shoegaze, a dash of psychedelia, traces of Sonic Youth angst (especially on 'Concrete' with its pained, questioning refrain) and melodic sensibilities worthy of the Pixies. The instrumental 'Crows Came and Spoke of New Beginnings' even touches on hard rock as the slow burn of subdued guitars and restrained drums gradually devolves into ripping chords, crashing cymbals and haunting vocal wails... Fans of minimalist indie rock that can still pack a punch won't want to miss out." — The Bay Bridged
"I'd really like to hammer home the point that this is a must-see band...This is an edge of your seat band, and will receive my first ever New Britches Award, because after you see [see night], you'll need some new ones as your old ones will have been blown away." — iHeartSFBands.com, Bottom of the Hill show review
"One of those bands people stop and stare at through the venue window...Their songs are sweeping, melodic, grungey" — SantaCruz.com
"Intense howling vocals backed by a huge cloud of percussion and guitar—it was all goosebumps for those in the crowd." — The Daily Californian, Rickshaw Stop show review
"Over partly punk or grunge percussion flowed swooning rivers of violin and bass, with singer Linda’s hypnotic siren yowl...another example of rock done intelligently as well as passionately." — Santa Barbara Independent, SOhO show review
"A Coke and Mentos explosion of sound... Every note tells a story and every letter was put there for a reason." — Music Putty
"Gorgeous, melodic, dreamy indie pop." — Selected Things
"Oscillating tempos, dreary to bright tones and remarkable howls and wails. Frontwoman Linda Sao’s vocals are much more than a voice but a distinct instrument." — Examiner, live show review
"Dream pop, shoegaze, and psych rock" — The Deli Magazine
"The vocals were like hot syrup dripping all over my face." — Some guy named Roger after a show

Alternative Rock
Gravelroad
Gravelroad
Alternative Rock
GravelRoad has been pushing the musical boundaries for over a decade and a half, forging a distinct sound that brings together Hill County Blues and Heavy Rock n Roll into new territories. GravelRoad is the sound of new and old – heavy fuzz and more introspective moods – combining to ask the larger questions of existence along with a rallying cry for a good time. GravelRoad is poised to release their eighth studio album prior to their European tour this fall, recorded, mixed and mastered by Seattle’s own Jack Endino.
CROOKED NATION continues where the band’s most recent releases – including MISSISSIPPI TIME (2017) and CAPITOL HILL COUNTRY BLUES (2016) – left off. The new album, the band’s third endeavor with Endino goes further with an array of tracks that magically weave multiple open-tuned guitars with a rhythm section that swings and sways with undeniable grooves.
Easier than walking and chewing gum, these 10 songs will have the listener shaking their asses, banging their heads and pumping their fists in the air, begging to be cranked for the world to hear. GravelRoad doesn’t play for any other reason than pure love for the music and a joy that is evident in every show. Look for CROOKED NATION on Knick Knack Records and all the usual interwebs places.
“It’s a little like what John Lee Hooker may have sounded like in Black Sabbath. And who wouldn’t want to hear that?”
Patrick Wells, Classic Rock Magazine
