Vicious Fishes:

Founded in 2018, Vicious Fishes are a four-piece outfit whose swamp rock aesthetics easily tread the murky wavelengths between contemporary alternative rock and post-punk blues. At moments, their music clashes with a dense anxiety echoed in the audience's mosh pit. Haunted waltzes tremble with unresolved tension. Yet, in the angst, there’s the static buzz of an ever ringing phone call, an excitement and energy waiting to be captured.

Tracing a lineage of influence from the Clash to the Pixies, onward from the Violent Femmes to the Strokes, Vicious Fishes steady the sway of any room with their deference to the past. Romanticisms pair with wisdom though, and caustic critiques of conformity offer release from modern isolation to listeners across genres.

In March 2023, Vicious Fishes released their fourth studio release, the EP All the Time. 

Boon:

Boon is a band that thrives in flux. If we’ve learned anything over the past few years, it’s how little is really under our control. There’s terror and despair in that realization, but there’s also a potential for joy, wonder, and beauty. What makes the difference is trust. Blind, stupid, desperate trust. Philadelphia experimental rock?folk?psych? band Boon explores that trust on their latest album Bad Machine and in each of their live performances – what it takes to get there, its dangers, and its potential rewards. 

Red Betty Redux: 

Liz and Joe of Red Betty present an acoustic set of classic country music, bluegrass and original songs. This guitar banjo duo brings driving rhythm and melody beneath dulcet and cutting vocal harmony.
