Bitter Luck is a rock n’ roll band bringing a unique sound to the Washington, D.C. area and beyond, modernizing the classic rock vibes of Aerosmith, Humble Pie, and Guns N’ Roses with a progressive flair inspired by Rush and Winery Dogs.
Their debut EP, “Show Your Hand”, produced by Ben Green at Ivakota Recording in Washington D.C., released October 31st, 2025 and the band's focus is now on hitting the road and bringing their music to a city near you.
The band is fronted by Ean Eschenburg's powerful, wide-ranging vocals and the virtuosic versatility of guitarist Andrei Wells. Rounding out the rhythm section is the biting bass playing of Will Gies and drummer Eric Levy's hard-hitting grooves.

Velvet Divide is a rising Alt-Rock force out of Washington DC, blending raw emotion with razor-sharp hooks and blazing guitar riffs. Following the release of their debut single “Unspoken,” which led to the title of Best Rock Song at the Washington DC Wammie Music Awards, the band is quickly carving out a name as one of the most exciting new acts in the region.
Thriving on controlled chaos, and high-energy performances, their music captures the tension between vulnerability and defiance—delivering heartfelt aggression through thorn laced anthems. The result is a sound that hits hard, lingers long, and mirrors the adrenaline of their live shows.
