Self-produced and independent, Tipling Rock emerged from Boston in the summer of 2015 and have since seen their signature brand of self-proclaimed "Beach Pop" reach unexpected heights. Centered around songwriter and producer Ben Andre's pristine bedroom pop style, the band is rounded out with drummer Tommy Shubert and Bassist Dillon Salkovitz. The group has garnered 50+ million streams online, seen their music top Spotify's Global Viral Charts, and sold-out live shows from NYC to Mexico City.

The Rare Occasions are an LA-based, New England-bred indie rock band known for their explosive garage rock anthems with catchy vocal harmonies. Brian McLaughlin (singer) and Luke Imbusch (drummer) have been making music together since their early teenage years. They formed The Rare Occasions while attending college in Boston where they met Jeremy Cohen (bassist). Since then, the band have toured nationally, won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and released a vast catalog of music online. After the departure of a fourth member in 2018, Brian, Jeremy, and Luke started on their newest full-length record, Big Whoop. Working as a three-piece has allowed them to flourish creatively; their new songs feature wall-of-sound guitars, electronic soundscapes, and lush orchestral arrangements, with intricately-woven lyrical themes of existentialism and a pointed sense of cheekiness. Released in June 2021, Big Whoop was recorded and mixed by the band themselves from their cramped rehearsal space - everything from the essential power trio instrumentation to layers of analog synths and a live string ensemble make an appearance in this labor of love. Despite the struggles of COVID-19, The Rare Occasions have managed to capture the increasing attention of listeners online from around the world, and the band looks forward to sharing their new music with live audiences.

There is an exceedingly apparent energy and passion deeply embedded in pop-rock musical outfit Lovely Colours. This passion is what originally drove vocalist Devin Damito and bassist James Rosales to move from their home in Juneau, AK to pursue music. Now hailing from Seattle, Washington and joined by guitarist Patrick May and drummer Steven Bingham; Lovely Colours makes the music you wish you heard on the radio. The band’s latest release alludes to their unmistakably dynamic sound. The quartet is relentless, refusing to waste a single moment. While on tracks like “Feels Like Hell” and “Somewhere” they’re crafting vibrant and bold indie pop tunes with a snappy rock edge; “Things You Do” and “The Garden” suggest that the band does in fact have a darker, sultrier side. Despite this variance in mood from song to song, the band’s remarkable musicianship and knack for songwriting remains consistent throughout their debut release. With only a handful of songs released, we surely have more to look forward to from Lovely Colours. But the energy that runs through them and all that Lovely Colours does, will undoubtedly leave you at the edge of your seat, ready for more.
