Monsoon

Monsoon is a two-piece indie rock band from Athens, Georgia who weave together unorthodox styles to create music that dips between the conscious and subconscious. Their new album Ghost Party is now available on all streaming platforms. After the release of Monsoon’s debut album Ride ARolla the band garnered the attention of Toyota and was contacted about using the title track for a Toyota Corolla commercial. From there, the placement landed a spot just after the 2016 Super Bowl half-time show and the band was invited to participate in the worlds first 360 multi-cam music video launched by Google. Between the reach of the placements and touring, Monsoon gained a small cult-like following along the East Coast. Now, after the release of Ghost Party in 2022, Monsoon stays busy, relentlessly touring up and down the East Coast, Midwest, and Canada.

Pickaxe

Some bands form easily and naturally. Pickaxe is not one of them. Conceived against the backdrop of a global pandemic and forged through trial and error, false starts, and frustrations, the Washington DC female-fronted four-piece melds years’ worth of loneliness, tragedy, addiction, political upheaval, and lost love into a provocative and punishing post-hardcore soundscape influenced as much by the storied punk scene of the bands hometown as by the grunge and metal that dominated rock radio airwaves during the members youths.

Grimm Winter

Founded in DC, Grimm Winter is a symphonic blend of 90s alt/indie-rock, punk, and folk music. With a strong emphasis on storytelling & modern-day mythologies, evocative metaphors & melodies, the band weaves together stories and songs that blur the line between literal and fantastical.
