TIFFY is the Boston based fuzz tinged dream rock project led by multi-instrumentalist, Asian-American artist Tiffany Sammy. TIFFY’s latest EP ‘2’ is a followup and continuation of themes from her debut LP ‘So Serious’ via Totally Real Records. A stirring coming-of-age narrative outlining the tumultuous path through social media, social disconnection, heartbreak and the drive for achievement. Heavily influenced by bedroom pop and punk rock distilled through her compositional magic, her hook-loaded confessional songwriting recalls the dusky, kaleidoscopic musical approach of indie rock contemporaries Speedy Ortiz and Jay Som with irresistible melodies that harken to peak-era Weezer. With countless shows under her belt, she’s established herself as a formidable live presence in the Boston and New England music scenes since 2018.

Burden’s Landing is a 4 piece alternative rock band from Washington, DC. Their debut EP, Could This Be a Portal?, was released August of 2024 via Rat Hill Records. The EP has been described as “rock and space fusion”, “chill, hypotonic”, and “an audio car crash.” (V13 Media) Forming around songs written by guitarist/vocalist Noah Mullinax, Burden’s Landing began in October of 2023, with Mullinax linking up with drummer Robin Zeng, bassist Chris Luis-Jorge, and keyboardist Sly Samudre. In April of 2024, the quartet spent a week in the Blue Ridge Mountains outside of Front Royal, Virginia, self-recording their debut EP.

You Fool! is an indie rock band from the suburbs of Washington DC with a blend of pulsing indie rock and dreamy, ethereal post-rock.The group began in the early days of a raging pandemic. Primary songwriters Julia and Josh - now husband and wife duo - learned of their shared affinity for music over an impromptu cover of Vance Joy's "Riptide" in a living room. Julia was a vocalist with a history in musical theater and choir, and Josh, a guitarist from small garage and punk bands from the east coast. They began writing music together almost immediately, and recruited an array of talented musicians - including bassist Mayson, drummer Mike, and multi-instrumentalist Greg - to round out the band. On August 23, 2024, the band released their debut full-length album, "What is the Meaning of This?" Before that, they released two EPs, including 2023's "Escape from the Circus", which details Julia's past forays in flying trapeze. Their sound has been compared to the likes of 90's alternative legends such as The Cranberries, and more modern acts, including Alvvays, Wolf Alice, Japanese Breakfast, and Metric.
