Lyrically biting, politically raucous, and raw undefined energy, Torch the Hive is Mike Fruel, Tyler Sanders, and Sergio Apanco. Their first two releases touch on the struggles of growing pains, financial hardship and navigating through a politically divided world. After several self-funded national tours, group members were served with an unhealthy dose of reality when presented with issues of addiction and financial losses as a direct repercussion from the pandemic. As a witness to racial and systematic injustice, Torch the Hive gained a new perspective on which direction their music should take. 'Flamingo' serves as a proponent to challenge these opposing viewpoints and aims to allow the listener to form their own view.

Burn Rebuild is a punk rock band from Chicago started by guitarist Brian Hampson and lead singer/bassist, Franky Tsoukalas. In 2013, the guys started up to relieve the stress of college while they both pursued degrees in their 30's at UIC. The main goal of the band is to play and write as much as adult life allows. Though the band has had many...many member changes, all members that have come and gone in Burn Rebuild have always been friends of the band. Now with a solidified lineup and their EP Losing Grip, the guys are looking to bring their take on punk to the streets of Chicago. They're not touring. They have kids and dogs and shit...and it probably just isn't in the cards. However, come out to a show in Illinois and go check out their ep at www.burnrebuild.bandcamp.com

Chicago based self proclaimed non-binary rock princess. Taking influence from pop-punk, grunge, and alternative styles of music that were popular during the 90's and early 2000's, Rise of Leo looks to create music where people of all backgrounds can feel united and heard. Dealing with the struggles of acceptance and past struggles of gender identity, Rise of Leo has always sought to express that in their songwriting and music playing to give a positive environment for their listeners, just as their music influences had done for them. Rise of Leo started in the local Chicago scene with former band The Last We Heard. After such time Rise of Leo left the scene to reinvent themselves in a way that would fit their vision and artistic values. They set out to establish themselves with this new mission during the summer of 2023, starting with their debut single, "Nobody Wants You", to try and be the most unapologetic and energetic artist they can be. You will witness the Rise of Leo!
