“Originally formed in 2007, amplifiers has evolved into what it is today. A four piece Pittsburgh powerhouse. With sounds that draw from indie acts like Circa Survive and The Dear Hunter to Post Rock such as Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Rós to industrial 90s rock such as Tool, Nine Inch Nails. It’s a unique and powerful sound that is a series of juxtapositions. “…

“Portland, Oregon-based danceable alt/rock band Crown Point, fronted by vocalist/guitarist Jon Davidson and guitarist/vocalist Russell Stafford, and rounded out by bassist Peter Arvidson and drummer Kaycee Kay, is pleased to announce the release of a new EP, Curtains. A seven-song collection of melodic, lyrically-driven rock songs with heart, the band easily maneuvers between danceable hooks and sonic layering on its latest offering. Taking its name from the album’s opening track, “Curtains Drawn,” a highly energetic, melodic rock song, a la Muse, Curtains chronicles the metaphorical curtains that so often stay closed on people’s lives, keeping them entrenched in darkness, fear, and apathy.”…

“Matthew Melton didn’t lose any time when Bare Wires broke up after a disastrous trip to SXSW in 2012. Before anyone knew it Warm Soda had shows booked, singles coming out, and again he was dealing in super sugary hooks with tough guy looks, but with the creation of the studio and label Fuzz City, the picture was becoming almost unnaturally clear, and clearly something special. Melton’s carved out an amazing sound, has kept the hooks and songwriting top notch, and has been touring like a monster the past year and into the foreseeable future.”…

Some day in the not too distant future, America will dip its corners deeper into the ocean, the waves ever grinding at its shores as tectonic plates shift and sink. The effect of melting icecaps on the beaches of her native Long Island is one of the triggers for Laura Stevenson’s worrying mind..

“I am a Sea Creature is a Psych-Rock/Dream Pop/Garage Rock band from Pittsburgh PA. We started in 2010 when Ricky and Brandon began pandering around the greater Pittsburgh area, and soon were joined by Alan Bentley on drums. In 2012, Eli Ritchey was added on Bass, and we actually became sort of a real band. Now we are a real band. We have our first full length album coming out this summer called “Beautiful Things.”…

My name is Mike. Bob and I started this band over some beers in Gainesville, Florida, after playing a gig with Company of Thieves in 2009.

“It’s a special treat when Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin, who normally tour separately and solo, get to share the stage together. If the chemistry seems especially sparkful, they come by it honestly, as they are a rare breed: a romantic partnership in real life, not just musical life. And the two together on stage makes for a classic case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts…
