“Seasick Mama explodes with a rough, unbridled voice as she romps about the stage, shifting between a fragile breathiness to a wild punk scream reminiscent of Gwen Stefani’s early days.” – Sofar Sounds

“…stalked the stage, pouring out violent and sometimes howling emotions in her vocals. She led the charge, even playing a large drum out front, bashing away with drumsticks on the drum head and the outer ring.” – Star News

“We just stumbled upon this very cool cover of Tom Waits’ “Going Out West” by Brooklyn artist Seasick Mama and couldn’t help but blog about it.” – Deli Magazine

“Work hard, play hard” became the focus of our interview.” – Live Fast Magazine

“Maher a 20-something-year-old rock n roll enthusiast with a knack for pressing the boundaries of imagination has been living in a luxurious mid western pad located in the beautiful state of Pennslyvania. The Brooklyn native began the project in September, inviting a plethora of musicians, photographers and aspiring-whatevers to come out and to simply, create. ” — Allied Styles

Mona Feel is the Chicago four piece project comprised of guitarist Travis Thomason, vocalist Matt Stevenson, bassist Justin Fors, and drummer Tim Fahey. Formed in early 2013, the band has cultivated their sound from their respective Indie Rock backgrounds, combining impeccable rhythm and technical structure. The composite of the corresponding forces results in what the band describes as art rock and they play it for humans of all types, because it would be impolite not to.

Brooklyn rockers Walking Shapes have come a long way since their formation in late 2012. The band released their debut LP, Mixtape Vol. 1, on July 30 (via No Shame Records), had a residency at Pianos in NYC, and garnered truckloads of critical support from across the US for their bass-heavy, atmospheric rock aesthetic and frenetic live shows.

The band churns out brash anthemic rockers, steeped in hefty doses of melancholy sentiment and often complex world-weary narratives. But the band isn’t’ afraid to lighten up, and a few of their tracks could even be described as sunny, fuzz-filled rockers. Even these lighter songs, though, have an undercurrent of restlessness and uncertainty to them, as if the music itself wasn’t quite sure where it was heading. But far from feeling as though the band is just wandering aimlessly around the studio, the songs on Mixtape Vol. 1 pulse with a self-described “analog-meets-digital” heartbeat.

Like Elastica with extra vitriol and a dash of grandeur.” – MTV Music Blog

Clinical Trials is the electro-grunge offspring of Somer Bingham, a self-produced multi-instrumentalist and a powerful performer who recently brought her grungy edge & likable personality to Showtime’s docu-series The Real L Word. Both Bingham and the music of Clinical Trials can be similarly described: fueled by punk, tinged with sexuality, and dangerously charming.

The other half of this riotous duo is pop-punk, riot-grrl inspired drummer Stacey Lee, a powerhouse behind the drums. With every bang on her kit, she adds her own touch of femininist-A.D.D to the male-dominated genre of rock n roll, inspired by the likes of Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney, Quasi, Wild Flag) and Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint). As a combined force, these two ladies put out more volume and sonic pleasantries than most 4 piece bands.

Taking inspiration from the energy of Nirvana, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and PJ Harvey, Clinical Trials oozes an intoxicating dysphoria that breeds in a world of whiskey waterfalls & post-punk pop. “If only Frances Bean would make up with Courtney – they would probably enjoy checking out this band together.” – Dave Cromwell, The Deli Magazine
