Spirit Hotel
Determined to wake the dead by any means necessary, Spirit Hotel deals in whiskey-dipped tape rock and haunted house fuzz, all under the direction of singer-songwriter Nataanii Cornelius. Their 2024 debut Wear Your Death was a countrygaze knife twist on their listeners, and the new direction only drives it deeper, as it gets louder.
Heavydive
Neo-wave/shoegaze trio Heavydive blends shimmering guitar haze and spectral vocals into lucid-dream pop. Demonstrated through their 2024 LP Foreign Patterns, festival appearances, and notable shows alongside groups like Earthless and The Messthetics, they craft immersive, fast-paced anthems for fans of dark, cinematic, melancholy music charged by a mythical modern narrative.

RroachH
Featuring calculated tones, catchy riffs, and lyrics inspired by mental health struggles, queer relationships, and… being a bit of a dirtbag, RroachH is a queer- and femme-fronted, alternative rock group who describe their sound as “multifarious.” The four-piece draws influences from power-pop, emo and psych, and have shared the stage with PUP, Speedy Ortiz and Bif Naked.

Innerouter
Heavy and melancholic, Innerouter’s dream grunge is a nostalgic trip to the ‘90s. Blending the floatiness of shoegaze and the chunkiness of grunge, the groups dynamic sound features dual male/female vocals that weave hauntingly beautiful melodies on top of dissonant chords and rolling riffs.
