RX Bandits:
RX Bandits are a genre-defying rock band known for their fearless musical evolution, explosive live performances, and uncompromising creative spirit. Formed in Southern California in the late 1990s, the band began as a ska-punk outfit before rapidly outgrowing the boundaries of the genre. Over the years, they transformed into one of the most inventive and respected progressive rock collectives blending elements of punk, reggae, post-hardcore, psychedelia, and experimental rock into a sound entirely their own.
In 2026, RX Bandits will celebrate the 20-year anniversary of their landmark album …And the Battle Begun — a record that redefined their sound and became a cult classic. To honor the occasion RX Bandits reunites with Sargent House to release a special anniversary reissue on vinyl and will embark on a nationwide US tour performing the album in its entirety.

Maps & Atlases:
Midwestern indie outfit Maps & Atlases perform rock blended with pastoral folk, pop, and experimental influences similar to Fleet Foxes, Alt-J, and Minus the Bear. From their early math rock roots to their sprawling 2010 debut Perch Patchwork, they eventually evolved to incorporate pop elements on fourth album Lightlessness Is Nothing New, which arrived in 2018 following an extended hiatus during which time the members pursued personal artistic endeavors and new musical outlets.
Formed in 2004 while founding members Erin Elders (guitar), Shiraz Dada (bass), Chris Hainey (drums), and Dave Davison (guitar/vocals) were attending Columbia College in Chicago, the band combined their individual interests in art, literature, film, and music to create a quirky, technically inspired, math rock sound. After recording an unreleased set titled Bird Barnyard, Maps & Atlases released their official debut EP, Tree, Swallows, Houses, in late 2007 on Sargent House. A second EP, You and Me and the Mountain, arrived in 2008.
While recording their first full-length, they signed with Barsuk Records. Months later, in June 2010, the group released the effort Perch Patchwork, which included the songs "Solid Ground" and "Pigeon." The following year, the quartet packaged a trio of remixes, a live recording, and a new track ("Living Decorations") onto the Living Decorations EP. Their third release in as many years arrived in 2012 with the group's sophomore full-length, Beware and Be Grateful, which featured "Old & Gray" and "Fever." Following promotion for Beware, founding guitarist Erin Elders parted ways with the band to start the band, Wedding Dress. The remaining members continued as a trio, playing occasional concerts over the years without new material.
While Davison continued writing as a solo artist, Hainey would focus on photography and Dada recorded with other groups. Six years after the release of Beware and Be Grateful, the threesome returned with their fourth effort, Lightlessness Is Nothing New. Debuting a distinctly poppier sound, Lightlessness was issued in June 2018 and was home to singles "Fall Apart" and "Ringing Bell."
