Sunday Cruise is a Chicago-based indie/alternative rock band built on raw emotion and infectious energy. Fronted by songwriter Zoe Garcia alongside Camden Kiefer (lead guitar), Cassidy McGill (bass), and Nolan Manke (drums), the band has been quietly building something special, earning over 5 million streams since their 2020 debut Am I Pretty?Their 2024 album The Art of Losing My Reflection marked a natural evolution for the band, exploring themes of self-discovery, mental health, and the messy complexities of young adulthood with warmth and vulnerability. In 2025, they followed it up with Eat My Heart — a 5-track EP that centers queer relationships with the same emotional honesty and melodic heart that has always defined their sound.At their core, Sunday Cruise makes music for the moments that are hard to put into words. With a growing catalog and a community of listeners who keep coming back, they’re a band that only gets more interesting with time.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://sundaycruiseband.com/">https://sundaycruiseband.com/</a>Dino Gala (Martin, Alex, Miguel, Tanya, and Christian) met at Berklee College of Music in 2017, first forming a garage rock project called Melk.

An emotionally ferocious yet tender song cycle about grief, identity, and resilience in the face of an uncertain future, Year of Summers aims straight for the heart with bombastic hooks and sharp storytelling.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://latchkeykidsnj.bandcamp.com/">https://latchkeykidsnj.bandcamp.com/</a> Friend is an alternative garage noise goblin punk indie rock band from Philadelphia.
