Previously, Costalupes established himself in the Pacific Northwest through his associations and contributions to bands such as VHS, Smoker Dad, The Rare Forms, and Family Worship Center. In 2020, Costalupes released his first single, “When I Come Down,” and a year later followed it with the 7-song EP, Exit Material.

Costalupes’s writing exudes an emotional immediacy. Redemption, regret, and self-reflection course through his hard-bitten roots rock, dredging up memories of the Gun Club’s Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Gram Parsons, and The Blasters’s Dave Alvin. This is shit-kicking heartbreak, interwoven with teardrop pedal steel guitars, twanging lead guitars, and folksy acoustic that achieve something of a gritty transcendence. - Lorne Behrman https://chriscostalupes.bandcamp.com/music

Frond’s seed was planted on a west-bound cross country trip amongst plateaus and playlists. Seattle’s freshest psych-tinged rock quartet provides an ivy-covered wall of sound. Intimate dreamy vocals, electric 12-string shimmer, and melodic textures drift atop driving rhythms and dynamic passages. From foggy placid meadows to fuzzed-out shadowy forest depths, Frond draws from the surrounding mossy Pacific Northwest landscape and contrasted city vibrancy, echoing their own strain of lush dream pop. https://www.frondband.com/

Mike Frazier is a lyric-spinning Virginian who blends Americana, folk, and rock 'n' roll music to tell tales of life in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Drawing on everything from the widescreen romanticism of Bruce Springsteen to the socially conscious urgency of The Clash.'https://mikefrazierva.bandcamp.com/
