Quivers ~ Strawberry Runners ~ Yours Are The Only Ears
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM Quivers QUIVERS from Melbourne, Australia (via Tasmania) are FINALLY touring their cathartic lyric-driven guitar pop around the USA. Guitars and tape loops that glimmer and glisten. Four distinct male and female voices. Hard jangle about grief, friendship and love. Quivers were originally slated to tour in 2020, but at least the delay has brought a 2nd album, Golden Doubt (out on Ba Da Bing), and a full cover of REM’s Out of Time which the band themselves endorsed with fire emojis. As for Quivers’ sound, Pitchfork calls it “effortlessly tuneful jangle pop” and “like a Go-Betweens with Coachella ambitions”, while NPR’s Otis Hart says Quivers write “earnest earworms, and I am here for every one of them”. You can check out the band’s performance for KEXP. DJ John Richards said the single “You’re Not Always On My Mind” was one of the best songs he’d heard in years and he listened to it “8 times in a row”. Quivers recently supported The Hold Steady at The Croxton in Melbourne, which has only furthered the longing for them to return to the US. It is music for road tripping with your friends and ghosts, and that is what Quivers will do as they traverse the American landscape and pull up to the bumper for 14 or more shows. We can’t wait.https://quiversss.bandcamp.com/Strawberry RunnersStrawberry Runners the music project of songwriter, Emi Night. The band are from New York via Philadelphia and Denver.https://strawberryrunners.bandcamp.com/Yours Are The Only EarsSusannah Cutler is a songwriter and producer raised in both Manhattan and Upstate New York. She began writing songs from a young age and her emotional connection with music never ceased. In 2014, she gave her private universe a public name and began playing shows in Brooklyn as Yours Are the Only Ears. Naming the project created space for Cutler’s collection of deeply personal and surreal poetry to flourish and take new shape. Although spread thin by school in a transformative time in her life, Cutler taught herself how to record out of a desire for autonomy and decided it was time to make her record. “Knock Hard” is a triumphant testament to self love.https://yoursaretheonlyears.bandcamp.com/

The Forest View Movement ~ S. Taylor ~ Echo Road
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 6:30 PMShow: 7:00 PMThe Forest View MovementJust a couple of muffs with a dream.SpotifyS. TaylorThe Sean Taylor Experience is the personal project of Sean Taylor, a 25-year old singer/songwriter from Philadelphia. Heartfelt, soulful lyrics and sound are the most prevalent throughout his work. The project is called an experience because Sean Taylor aims to project his emotions and inspirations at any given point of his life. Without being tagged down to one certain genre, Sean Taylor aims to blend multiple genres throughout his work to give listeners a wide breath of sound to take in. Genres that Sean Taylor is most influenced by are Soul, Alternative RnB, and Psychedelic Rock, however, that all can change if he finds something inspiring at any given time. His voice is his centerpiece being able to slip in and out of falsetto to melt hearts while being able to belt at the top of his range that listeners can feel it in their bones.SpotifyEcho RoadWhen one hears the title ‘Echo Road’, it may bring to mind a trekking wanderer mired by thoughts of existence. The vibe of that scene embodies much of the band’s own musical themes, which wander between expansive genres and generations. Echo Road brings in the raw energy and electric style of groups like Rush and Greta Van Fleet to deliver a one-two punch of progressive blues rock. To compliment that body of work, there are present cues of 60’s pop and earthy folk music, with acoustic guitars, organ swells, and Beach Boys-style harmonies.Spotify

Self-described as “sleepy surf rock // aquatic sleep rock”, they blend a garage sound with influences from jazz standards, shoegaze, surf rock, and the occasional electronic sound. They also find themselves to be a “sleepy surf rock” band in New York City, a place not known for its surfing, and famous for never sleeping. Deep Sea Peach Tree thinks it’s long overdue for a nap, and as a surfer who grew up in New York, the melding of the city and the New York surf scene is a constant source of creativity for Kristof and the band. They’ve shared the stage with artists such as Current Joys, Lunar Vacation, Tonstartssbandht and JW Francis, performing mainly throughout New York City and Brooklyn, but also in D.C., Boston, Los Angeles and colleges throughout the northeast. They plan on exploring more of the U.S. and touring in 2022 after releasing their sophomore effort, Certain Thoughts, independently via AWAL on July 8th, 2022.https://deepseapeachtree.com/home Tennis CourtsTennis Courts is a rock and roll band out of Brooklyn, NY led by singers/songwriters/very good pals, Patrick Walsh and Andrew Clarke. The duo met while attending college in Charleston, South Carolina and began writing songs together soon after. Inspired by everything from indie rock bands of the 2000s to folk singers of the 1960s, the group spent their formative years playing in living rooms, backyards, and basements. With the unwavering support of their friends, those rooms soon turned into sold out shows across the city. With dreams of broadening their horizons, the duo packed up their things and relocated to Brooklyn, NY at the beginning of 2022. Equipped with a brand new record and road dog dreams, the band has big plans for the future. Whatever happens, Tennis Courts is showing no signs of stopping.http://tenniscourts.bandcamp.com/Frankie MermaidFrankie Mermaid is an indie rock band formed right outside of Philadelphia at Rowan University in 2021.
