Singers Isaac Shalit and Emma Kazal, guitarist Winnie Malcarney and drummer Nigel Law utilize techniques such as quiet, loud, teamwork, bravery, and crunch to craft a sound that is a little bit country and a little bit rock n roll. Their songs are sad, happy, americana, emo, and inhabit emotional spaces that are at times improbably large and claustrophobically small. Motivated by the joy and grief of being queer and alive, Soup Dreams are usually just trying to have a good time with their friends. You can find their music if you try.

He has been drumming, creating, and performing original music since the age of 14. Greg’s most successful accomplishment was with Metal band With Daggers Drawn playing in the metal and rock scene, connecting with loyal fans and opening up for some of NJ and NYC’s top metal/rock acts like Illnino, 40 Below Summer, E-Town Concrete, Coheed & Cambria as well as other national acts like Drowning Pool, Periphery, Hatebreed, In this Moment and Non-Point. (just to name a few). Daggers ended in 2011 that included original members of 40 Below Summer due to personal reasons. Greg then when to create music with Alt prog rock band, Pralaya who came out with an EP, Matter of Time. They played in the scene up until 2020 until fizzling out in 2021 from lack of interest, Covid, and just plain old life. Greg has had tracks featured on SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal and has been approached by metal’s most prestigious label, RoadRunner Records.

His biggest goal is to reach people outside of his local network, create, promote and release his music with the most effective current marketing strategies that will get the music in front of the right ears.

Formed in 2021 by rhythm guitarist Tyler and vocalist Scarlet, they soon met bass player Dan, as well as lead guitar player Chris, and the lineup was fully solidified with the addition of Nick on drums. The band has since been putting the finishing touches on their EP “Dead Inside & Still Alive” while trying to play as many shows as possible.
Carver Commodore ~ Brother Moses ~ Glittersplitter
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMCARVER COMMODOREOn their new EP, “If Nothing Happens,” Alabama indie-pop-rockers Carver Commodore ask themselves the question all artists must confront at some point in their careers—if we never “make it”, if nothing happens, is this all still worth it? Formed in 2017, Carver Commodore was a new start for founding members Payton Pruitt and Phillip Blevins after their college band parted ways. They were determined to make music and make it work for them, and since the band’s formation, have added three permanent members (Noah Freeman, Clayton Christopher, David Smith Jr.) and released two full length albums with a smattering of EPs and singles in between. These releases all fall at unique places on the spectrum of indie rock, and after taking the maximalist approach, the band decided to dial things back for their new EP. Pruitt says, “I wanted to write these songs with a much more laid back and stripped down approach. Not in a boring or acoustic way, but in a way that doesn’t sound like we’ve got 53 tracks in the final recording and can’t really reproduce the exact sound live.” Intentionality is the pursuit. However it manifests—in songwriting, recording, touring—Carver Commodore is on a mission to continue claiming their spot in independent music history. “If Nothing Happens” is a snapshot of a band who is not 100% sure where they are going, but they are going, no matter what.BROTHER MOSESGLITTERSPLITTER

His songs take you from suburban nights in Delaware, family trips to the Jersey Shore, bars across Manhattan, and all the friends and lovers in between. He’s set to release his third full length album, “Goodbye or Something”, in Spring 2024 on Grand Phony.

MIDSIDE https://midsidephl.bandcamp.comFounded in 2018 as the recording project of Philadelphia’s Ryan Hankins, Midside focused on home recording techniques to achieve a guitar-centric soundscape at the intersection of analog and digital.

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets.Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 8:00 PMSEDONA”Domino” is Sedona’s second single of 2023. Sedona says, “Life has a way of knocking you down when you’re already down. This song sheds light on a feeling we’re all familiar with – disappointment. When something doesn’t work out how we hoped it would, it stings, it burns. And sometimes that burn triggers what feels like a domino effect of trouble.” Sedona’s “Domino” was born out of that feeling.” Like recent single “Quicksand,” Sedona once again collaborated on “Domino” with producers Miro Mackie (Matt & Kim, St. Vincent, Wallows, The Neighbourhood) and Daniel Chae (LP, Samia, Middle Kids, Geographer). Conjuring up female leads like Stevie Nicks and Madonna, Sedona’s sound emerges from the nostalgic undertow of hook-filled pop antics. Founding the project in 2018, Sedona began releasing music with her single “Call Me Up”, followed up by a series of singles and a debut EP, Rearview Angel during the pandemic. Her songs have been featured in Netflix show ‘Never Have I Ever,’ HBO’s ‘Generation,’ Disney’s ‘Just Beyond,’ MTV’s ‘Catfish,’ and the commercial for Ralph Lauren’s SS22 collection. Sedona has also been featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds, All New Indie, Lorem and the top spot on Apple Music’s Indie Pop playlist. Sedona also sings in the band, Drugdealer. With a debut album in the works, Sedona has established an early foothold as a touring act with sold out headline shows in NYC (Elsewhere Zone One) and LA (Zebulon). She has shared the stage on tour with the likes of TOPS, Sir Chloe, Nation of Language, Barrie, Triathlon, Paul Cherry, Samantha Urbani and sets at SXSW and Treefort Music Fest.SCARLET RAE

Playing a brand of pop-punk infused with ska horns, the group takes after New Found Glory as much as it does Less Than Jake, and the band’s sweet, hook-laden choruses back this up. Catchy ska portions invade verses while No Such Noise offers its own take on a genre that has been around for decades.” The band will be celebrating the 10 year Anniversary of their album “For Closure”, so expect a set that will span the entire history of the band. THE BEST OF THE WORSThttps://thebestoftheworst.bandcamp.com/The Best of the Worst is a skacore band that started out as a joke in 2006 and never stopped playing. Several albums and countless DIY tours later they have carved themselves a small niche mixing melodic hardcore with upbeat horn-forward skapunk. Check out their latest LP Better Medicine and 7″ split with New Jersey pals, Folly, out now on Bad Time Records.CURIOUS VOLUMEhttps://curiousvolume.bandcamp.com/ Curious Volume began when Andrew (dNo) Paladino, John Trotta, and Cole Rice wanted to start a band in middle school. Influenced by a heavy dose of Pop-Punk and Rock, CV released EPs and built a strong local following in the Staten Island, NY music scene, leading up to their 2010 debut album Mumbles and Whispers. Around this time, they expanded their sound by experimenting with elements of Ska and Hard Rock that brought them into a new phase. Curious Volume reunited in 2018 for beloved local venue Dock Street’s 40th anniversary, and from there were inspired to work on new music. Armed with a relaunch, uber-talented Swiss army knife Brian Buchanan, and new music nearly ready to go, Curious Volume is ready to show the world what’s next.TAKE TODAY taketoday.bandcamp.com Take Today is a 4 piece punk band from South Jersey formed in 2003 that that is full of nostalgic energy and carries with them a wide range of sonic emotion. Fast songs, poppy songs, moody songs, and even dabbled in ska punk. Some say old school Alkaline Trio meets Jawbreaker, some say they’re simply too loud.
