Signals Midwest
Geography is important, so here’s a rundown: Signals Midwest is an indie-rock-tinged punk band from Cleveland, Ohio. Members currently reside in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. Since forming in 2008, they have released five full-length albums and a slew of split 7″s and EPs. “Siggies”, as one particularly eloquent fan dubbed the group somewhere along the line, has played just shy of 500 shows in North America, Europe, the UK, Australia and Japan. “Layovers”, due out in July 2025 via their longtime collaborator Lauren Records, is a career-spanning collection of previously unreleased songs, B-sides, 7” tracks and covers that span the band’s nearly two decades of existence.

Five Hundred Bucks
Five Hundred Bucks is a filthy, beautiful punk rock fever dream clawing its way out of Philadelphia, featuring members of The Holy Mess, Captain, We’re Sinking, Teen Agers, and Seagulls—stitched together by Jeff Riddle: songwriter, guitarist, accidental philosopher. The bastard child of burned-out idealism and a four-month songwriting bender in a garage, their latest record Pest Sounds sounds like someone set their old dreams on fire and recorded the screams. These songs are full of ghosts: generational addiction, dead friends, southern doom, and the kind of youthful rot you can only write about once it’s already eaten half your soul. It’s punk rock with a bleeding heart and a busted compass, stumbling toward meaning in the wreckage.

Stereoma
Stereoma isn’t just a band—it’s a broadcast from the static of your soul. Emerging from the rustbelt grit of Pennsylvania, Stereoma fuses raw emotion with towering alt-rock soundscapes, delivering songs that don’t just play—they linger.
At the heart of it all is frontman Nick Curran, a lyricist who writes like he’s bleeding onto the page. With echoes of 90s alternative, shoegaze haze, and post-punk tension, Stereoma’s music is deeply personal yet universally resonant—like flipping through the pages of a journal you didn’t know you wrote.
From the slow-burning ache of “Phantom Limb” to the thunderous urgency of “This City is Death,” their songs are cinematic, cathartic, and impossible to forget.
If you’ve ever found beauty in the breakdown, if you crave music that understands the chaos beneath the calm—Stereoma is your frequency.
Think: if The Cure crashed into early Wilco on a rainy night, with Radiohead watching from the shadows.
For anyone who’s ever felt too much or not enough—Stereoma sees you. And they sound like that feeling.
STEREOMA is ever evolving with comparisons to Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Flaming Lips, The Cure and Cage the Elephant to name a few. Currently Stereoma is rehearsing as a four piece to play live shows. The band’s current lineup is Nick Curran (lead vocals and guitar), Brad Topping (lead guitar), Caleb Lewis (drums, vocals), and Mike Heller (bass).

Whose Hands Are These?
Whose Hands Are These? is an emotive rock trio from the keystone state.
Making you uncomfortably self aware, as if you were saying your own name whilst staring into a mirror; look down at your hands. Ask. WHAT? is a sonic world packed with quick-paced boisterous songs with melodic ear worms scattered throughout.
