A couple of months after graduating from high school, Mikey Carnevale (vocals/guitar) and Richard Dotson (bass) got together as The Frights to play a one off 30 minute set as sort of a joke. The feeling they got from the crowd in their hometown of San Diego inspired them to become a "real" band almost in spite of themselves. Along the way, they recruited Marc Finn (drums) and released You Are Going To Hate This (produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR) in February 2016. Jordan Clark (guitar) added to the band's musical prowess in the ensuing year of touring around North America. The Frights signed to Epitaph in early 2018 and got to work on Hypochondriac. Like You Are Going To Hate This, the band’s third full-length was produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR (who’s also produced albums for SWMRS and Dune Rats). But for Hypochondriac, Carnevale took a more deliberate and exacting approach to his songwriting, resulting in The Frights’ most nuanced work to date. After a sold out show at The Observatory North Park in their hometown of San Diego the same date as the release of the album, the band embarked on the Hypochondriac headline tour that is documented on their upcoming live album.

Formed in 2017, Flycatcher's ability to pair sing-along melodies with gut-punching instrumentals, proves their power in casting an empathetic and universal eye through a balance of early-00’s indie merged with 90’s alternative rock. The New Jersey-based quartet of Gregory Thomas Pease (guitar, vocals), Justin VanNiekerk (guitar), Jack Delle Cava (bass) and Connor Carmelengo (drums), are known for their undeniably anthemic arrangements. Their 2023 EP, Stunt, garnered acclaim for its ear-worm choruses, tight textural dynamics and driving percussion. Now working with Memory Music’s legendary producer Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight), the band looks to expand on their 2023 statement with one simple goal, writing the best songs that they can.
