Anything Is Everything

Anything is Everything is a four-piece Emo, Indie-Rock band from Chicago. They originally formed in 2018 by guitarists Sam and Chris after meeting in the service industry and later joined forces with Sam on bass and Christos on drums. Yes, that’s two Sams and two Chrises. With roots in pop-punk, their sound is a great match for listeners of Taking Back Sunday, The Wonder Years, and Knuckle Puck. Their evolving brand fuses moody lyrics, dynamic grooves, and opulent guitars with energetic performances, themed parties, and witty stage banter while their curated sets will make you want to go absolutely hog wild. Don’t be surprised if you run into a human hot-dog in the mosh pit.

CUT YOUR LOSSES

Cut Your Losses is a Chicago based Alt-Rock band that fuses together the genres and song-writing styles of their two frontmen to create music you can mosh to, cry to, and sit and ponder life to.

Their debut album ‘Reflections of Ghosts’ is currently out.

In essence, Reflections of Ghosts is a story of looking in the mirror and not recognizing the person staring back at you. It’s about searching for hope in our darkest places. It is about the way we view ourselves and the people around us, how fragile that perception is, how alone it can make us feel. It is visceral and, at times, brutally honest. Their only hope is that every person who listens gets exactly what they need from it.

Cut Your Losses officially formed in 2019, and is comprised of vocalist/guitarist duo Isa Martinez and Alex Criminger, drummer Joseph Martinez, and bassist Joshua Lines. The next time you come to see them live or in the wild, be sure to say hi, they’re pretty friendly despite being painfully awkward, and are always looking to meet new friends.

LUNAR MOTH

Since 2019 this Madison trio— Amber Moth (vocals/guitar), Gage Moth (drums), and Mac Moth (bass)— has been developing their own cosmic gumbo of pop hooks, grunge, and garage doom. Drawing heavily from their combined love of bands like Frankie and the Witch Fingers, and Windhand, their first full-length album, “Honestly, Maybe,” and 2022’s EP, “In the Mourning,” explores a wide range of themes and sounds including fantasy-laden lyrics, flippant sad girl rock, heartfelt indie love songs, and sludgy homages to their doom influences.

Their upcoming album, “Stranger” (Out May 25th, 2024), sees the trio focus their sound, drawing on a well soaked in grunge, distortion, and deeply personal lyrics disguised as pop melodies.

In a nutshell, Lunar Moth is for weirdos, by weirdos: Fuzzed-out doom and bloom.

MY LIFE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN

From the depths of the global pandemic emerged a band determined to conquer all of the seven seas. My Life At The Bottom Of The Ocean was that band. Formed in July of 2022, “My Life” is a 2 piece indie-punk band hailing from Chicago, IL. Their music combines the high energy of punk and hardcore music with the melodic sensibilities, technical guitar-playing, and heartfelt lyricism of modern emo music.

Long time friends Kevin LaBarbera (Guitar/Vocals) and Connor Rudny (Drums, Percussion) make up the composition of the group. For only being a 2 man operation, their sound is massive, and their stage presence is undeniable. Drawing inspiration from bands like Title Fight, Circa Survive, and Nirvana, “My Life” is a melting pot of sounds, ideas, and sonic exploration. Not to be pegged into any one genre of music, My Life is one of those bands that has to be experienced for yourself. Catch them at a show near you and you won’t be disappointed you did!
