Description
After dropping their anthemic single “Legendary” in 2017, the indie rock world was quickly introduced to Welshly Arms’ penchant for unleashing larger-than-life alt-rock bangers and spine-tingling live performances. Their 2018 album No Place is Home has garnered over 375M total streams and provides a sensational musical journey that hits all the swaggery notes. Put simply, the band injects a powerful dose of emotion that continues to leave the Welshly Arms’ faithful enamored.
Coming off a successful German festival tour in the summer of 2025, Welshly Arms returned to their native Cleveland, Ohio, and released two new singles - “Glorious” and “In Chills” - that mark a defining new chapter for the band. Shaped by reflection, momentum, and a renewed sense of purpose, the songs were recorded in a familiar home-base environment that allowed the group to explore both power and vulnerability without distraction. Together, the releases capture a band pushing forward with clarity and intention, balancing the grit and resilience that define their sound with a more stripped, emotionally exposed approach - signaling a clear and confident path ahead.
“With “In Chills,” we wanted to step away from the grit and power of our usual sound and strip things back. A cleaner, more vulnerable production let the emotion sit closer to the surface - the performance feels exposed, almost fragile at times, which mirrors the uncertainty and tension in the lyrics,” says Sam Getz [Lead, Singer, Guitar]. Regarding “Glorious,” Getz adds, “We wrote “Glorious” because we needed a reminder that even in the hardest moments - when your head is down and you feel like giving up - there’s still something inside worth fighting for.”
special guest: The Astronomers - The Astronomers make alternative pop music that feels as expansive as it is deeply personal. Led by Michael Stensland and Ben Baker, the Oshkosh, Wisconsin duo have carved out their own lane with nostalgic, brass-tinted pop. Blending emotional storytelling with explosive choruses, and modern production, their sound sits somewhere between Quinn XCII, AJR, and Jon Bellion while still feeling unmistakably their own.
Their rise began with breakout single 'Overthinking,' which hit #1 on Midwest pop
station 101.1 WIXX, followed by fan-favorite releases including 'Bad Type' and 'Hotel
Rooms' — the latter climbing to #88 on U.S. Top 40 radio. Onstage is where The
Astronomers fully come alive, blending live drums, keys, saxophone, spacey guitar
textures. From opening for Quinn XCII and Mike Posner to performing to more than
5,000 during a breakout hometown performance at Appleton's Mile of Music.
The Astronomers continue to expand their world without compromising the
independence that defines them. Following the release of their 2026 EP ‘Guess It’s
Just Life 2' and the launch of a new creative era with their latest single, 'HEART THIEF,' the duo continue pushing their sound forward while reaching new audiences with
each release and show.
