PRISM BITCH does as well. The Albuquerque for now trio—Lauren Poole [bass, vocals], Chris Walsh [guitar], and Teresa Cruces [drums, vocals]—hop from robust riff-ery to sticky sweet hooks before dipping back into moments of distorted bliss and warm melodies. With no shortage of unexpected thrills, they construct something of a sonic rollercoaster on their 2021 independent full-length debut, Perla. "We’re an aggressively friendly band," smiles Teresa. "We cover a spectrum of topics. The music can be serious and existential or super fun—just like real life". "When you listen to us, maybe you feel like we visited you at home, listened to what you had to say, and even helped you clean up," laughs Lauren.Lauren and Chris first met as members of a small theatre company, where they dreamed up a plan for a performance art project in the guise of a band. In 2015, they crossed paths with Teresa. Their initial project idea soon morphed into an actual band, which they named Prism Bitch. The group wanted to take "bitch" back and hold that word with pride. "When Lauren asked me to be a part of this performance art project, we wanted to make sure the songs were really good, which pushed us to focus more on the songwriting than the actual story," explains Chris. "This led to the creation of our band more so than a theatre project".Prism B!tch made their introduction with 2017's The Getaway EP before unleashing the self-titled Prism Bitch EP a year later. Along the way, they’ve amassed over 100K cumulative streams, won three Weekly Alibi "Best of Burque" Music Awards, and ignited iconic stages, including The Whisky A Go-Go, The Roxy, and Webster Hall.<h2> LADY STARBEAST</h2>—Defying traditional genre and embodying idiosyncrasy, Oakland-based dark pop artists Ilana Magill and Marc Martell join forces to form the project Lady Starbeast. Ilana is the songwriter and vocalist; Marc creates the instrumentation; and together they record and produce. Ilana combines sultry, powerful vocals with operatic background harmonies, dark, eerie and intricate melodies and a wild, irreverent spirit. Her lyrical content explores the introspective particularities of mental health, while using a broad lens to remark on the human condition. Marc’s dramatic electro-pop instrumentation gives the listener a glimpse into the inner-workings of their minds and hearts, making for a raucous and haunting experience.<h2>FUZZ KIT</h2>—Fuzz Kit is a SF Bay Area post-punk band, formed in 2023. With vulnerable lyrics and overdriven guitar, they compress sonic explorations into tight, hard-hitting songs. They harness the intensity of living in this world, with moody vocals over fuzzy guitar hooks and powerful beats.
