JVK is a Boston-based rock band blending retro glam, synth-driven textures, and high-energy DIY spirit into a bold, genre-pushing sound. Originally launched in 2022 as a solo project by frontwoman Jo Krieger, the project quickly evolved into a full band, pairing empowering lyricism with riff-heavy, melodic rock.
Known for their electrifying live shows, JVK has risen rapidly through the New England scene—playing major festivals like Boston Calling and Louder Than Life, touring nationally, and earning multiple regional award nominations.
40 Lashes is a Boston-based punk/indie rock band formed in 2021, known for blending early-2000s pop-punk and emo influences with a modern DIY edge. The four-piece—featuring Josh (vocals/rhythm guitar), Chris (lead guitar), Abe (drums), and Peter (bass)—has built momentum through self-released music and regional touring, with releases like their EP Cheer On, Rock On, Party On and singles such as “My Eyes” showcasing themes of heartbreak and emotional conflict.
Rooted in New England’s underground scene, their sound pulls from bands like blink-182 and Joyce Manor, pairing raw, relatable songwriting with high-energy, guitar-driven performances.
The Rock Dwellers are a Durham, New Hampshire–based indie rock band rooted in the DIY underground, known for their loud, basement-born energy and refusal to chase trends. Embracing a raw, self-directed approach, the group blends elements of rock, folk, and punk into a loose, guitar-driven sound shaped by local scenes and independent recording.
With releases like There and Back Again (2022) and a growing catalog leading up to their debut full-length Melodramatic (2025), the band continues to build momentum through self-produced music and grassroots live shows across New England.
