Cash On The Nail
Cash on the Nail is a DC punk trio featuring ex-Weird Babies, Alex Dent, on guitar and Josh Freed on bass, and DC’s Different Drummers’ Lydia Homovich on drums. All three sing. The band is simultaneously heavy, melodic, quiet, and screamy, like life in the 2020s. Between them, the members of Cash on the Nail have played 100+ shows across countless venues past and present in DC, Baltimore, Toronto, and Chicago.
Mothlights
Mothlights is a Washington DC slowcore and primitive guitar band combining influence from slowcore luminaries, the American primitive guitar scene, Bengali folk music, and found sounds. This project aims to weaponize aesthetics of the collective loss in our time and find militancy in the mourning. Their 2023 debut Walking the World With A Leaky Umbrella, out on Strawberry Moon Records, confronts themes of decolonization, reculturation, antifascism and climate anxiety alongside personal themes of melancholy, remembrance, and mental health struggles. Both the record and live performances feature songs with dense arrangements, odd time signatures, and strangely timbred instrumentation. Live performances bring these lush textures to life with layers of keys and intricately arranged guitars.
Parasocial
Parasocial is a DC-based prog rock, metal, pop-punk trio inspired by artists like Paramore, Deerhoof, and Opeth. With their labyrinthine structures, evocative pop-punk-inspired vocals, textured, complex metal riffs, and dynamic impressionist drumming, they blend the dramatic and the eccentric. We love you.
e
Five Steps Back
Five Steps Back blends various styles of hardcore, pop/punk, post/hardcore, and 90s alternative. Their Debut EP Badtaste showcases a long list of influences from multiple genres and artists. The band consists of members of former Baltimore and Philadelphia-based bands. The current lineup features CJ Wilson (vocals), Brian Kummerlowe (bass), Wes Winner (guitar), and Woody Spokas (drums).
