BYOV Night

As a performance focused project drawing from art rock, shoegaze, operatic noisepop, and literal sparagmos, Ravine reanimates and then reannihilates the specter of rock n roll in a musiq oblitérée for the rebeginning of the world.

Ravine

Lemon Sparks’ winsome, sturdy songs build upon a rich balance of melody and dissonance. The band skillfully glides across multiple golden eras of guitar pop with masterful playing and considerable attention to sonic detail. Bass Battery (Norwood - Bass and Rob - Drums.) from Durham, NC prove that two are better than one. They effortlessly create a wall of sound with melodies and hooks.

Noche de Rumba

Currently working on his seventh studio record, Will Varley has mastered the kind of songwriting that can transport you to another place entirely. In the case of his astonishing new album, he continues his decade long exploration of the human condition, while conjuring strange, beautiful landscapes where salt-crusted pebbles crunch underfoot and snow pours in through the roofs of abandoned tour buses. These songs are rich, lyrical tales that speak of universal truths, hard touring, and the rebuilding of minds. Over the last ten years Varley has earned the adoration of some of his most well known peers. Support from the likes of Billy Bragg, The Libertines, Adam Duritz and Frank Turner have helped spread Will’s music far and wide. His catalogue has clocked up over fifty million streams across Spotify and Apple music and as writer and producer he has worked with platinum selling, CMA award winning and Grammy award winning artists. Since his earliest days playing candle lit open mics in south London aged just 14, he has gone on to sell out headline shows across Europe and the US – performing on some of the world's most prestigious stages along the way such as The Royal Albert Hall and Glastonbury Festival. In 2024 Will signed a worldwide record deal with MNRK Music Group, home to The Lumineers, Mt. Joy and Gregory Alan Isakov. His new album is slated for release in Spring 2025.

FlycatcherForming in New Brunswick in the Fall of 2016, Flycatcher began crafting dynamic songs centered around crushing swells of jagged guitar-hooks, propulsive drumming, and deftly emotive lyrics. Following a period of extensive gigging and writing through 2018, the band teamed up with Kyle Pulley of Thin Lips to produce the high-energy, kaleidoscopic textures of their debut album, Other Things.Shortly after the release, the band joined Joe Webster at PonderRosa Studios to begin work on their follow-up record. Released in Summer 2019, the driving, angular melancholy of ‘Songs for Strangers’ saw Flycatcher and develop their song-craft through cohesive arrangements, vulnerable, immersive lyrics.After a sold-out show at the Asbury Park Brewery and a cross-country tour promoting the release, the band took a short hiatus, but they are back and performing non-stop.The SoftenersFormerly known as “Secretary Pool”, the Raleigh based four piece rock outfit have been making and performing music together since 2017. Pulling from influences such as Guided by Voices, Nirvana, Gang of Four, Pixies, The Softeners deliver a loud and visceral live show. We have a release entitled “Today’s Themes For Young Lovers” and it is available right now at https://thesofteners.bandcamp.com and other&nbsp;streaming platforms. We're recording a new EP at Mitch Easter's Fidelitorium in January. Find us on Spotify:&nbsp;https://open.spotify.com/album/2dmS8DReDTzgTn0AEPZzrA

Adulting: Mustache Edition

SPICE

Born of navel-gazing self-indulgence and vague ambition, Erie Choir began at the dawn of the new millennium as the solo/acoustic/folk singing sort-of-thing of Sorry About Dresden’s Eric Roehrig. The now long standing lineup of Roehrig, fellow Sorry About Dresden alumnus James Hepler, Bob Wall, and Jack Watson, along with recent addition, Ben Spiker, has since evolved into a mix of indie rock, americana, power pop,and the occasional extended choogle. Their third album, Golden Reviser, scheduled for release on November 7th on Potluck Foundation, dabbles in all these subgenres and more, and is the band’s most ambitious work yet.Golden Reviser deals with the weight of history, personal and otherwise — the way we grapple with our past and loss, how nostalgia can sanitize our memories, and the unsettling feeling that arises when your “tortured youth is now called a golden age” as Roehrig sings in “It’s So Strange.” Sonically, the album wanders from acoustic Neil Youngian laments to Replacement-esque rave ups, soft rock cosplay to unironic, heart-on-your-sleeve anthems. The band is aided by cameos from Tim Kasher (Cursive, The Good Life), Greg Humphreys (Dillon Fence, Hobex),&nbsp; Sara Bell (Shark Quest, Lud), Reid Johnson (Schooner),and Joshua Carpenter (Carpenter/Cohen) and was recorded by local stalwart Jerry Kee.After a pair of self-released EP’s in the early 2000s, Sit-n-Spin Records released Slighter Awake in 2006, which Pop Matters called “crisp, clean, indie rock with a folk-pop flavor.” The recording of the follow up, Old Rigs, began in 2011, but wasn’t completed and released until November 2017. Nonetheless, the Big Takeover declared it “worth the wait”, describing Roehrig as “an American Graham Parker.“ Three years later, they released the Starlight Veins EP, which the Indy Weekly called "feelgood music for pessimists, summer jams for introverts," describing the EP closer "Night Junction" as "punked-up Springsteen." 2022 saw the release of Bad Tsars Was a Drag, an odds n’ sods compilation of the band's output from the early 2000s that had previously only been available on homemade, burned CD-Rs or compilation albums with limited distribution that The Big Takeover noted was ”surprisingly, given such excess, …consistently strong throughout.”While the band’s output over its two decades’ existence would never be called prolific, Erie Choir has persisted, and continues to make music guided solely by their own artistic impulses. Golden Reviser represents the next step forward in their continued, albeit unhurried, evolution.

POLLUTE.

Joyer formed in New Jersey in 2017, and after releasing two self-recorded demo collections, they released their first studio album, Sun Into Flies, in 2020, followed by Perfect Gray in 2021. Now based in Brooklyn and Philadelphia, the duo of multi-instrumentalist brothers Nick and Shane Sullivan are constantly evolving their sound. Their latest album, Night Songs, examines the allure of night and its ability to shapeshift from a mirror for our innermost demons to a shield from the demands of daily drudgery. It marks a departure from their hushed slowcore beginnings and displays a more expansive sound—from blowtorched shoegaze guitars and poppier vocals to melancholy synths and pastoral lap steel. Fittingly, their detour into twistier, heavier territory coincides with the depraved nature of nighttime activities, and their foray into a more hi-fi, pop-forward direction aligns with the stark clarity that pitch-black skies provide. Their devilish distortion also functions as a cathartic foil to their quiet, real-life demeanors, and was informed by their live shows, which increasingly featured gnarlier versions of past Joyer songs. Following the success of Night Songs the band has embarked on various country-wide tours, sharing bills with other up-and-coming acts as well as prominent indie rock artists such as Wishy, Feeble Little Horse, Horse Jumper of Love, Lowertown, and Babehoven.<img src="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fjoyer.bandcamp.com%2Falbum%2Fi-see-forward-and-back&amp;psig=AOvVaw0qS6UwYCF0HRupHN9NwCT9&amp;ust=1762454123514000&amp;source=images&amp;cd=vfe&amp;opi=89978449&amp;ved=0CBMQjRxqFwoTCOiDqrHT25ADFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE"><img src="">
