Sean Nicholas Savage w/ Crystal Quartez – EARLY SHOW! – 21+

Playwright, director and singer songwriter Sean Nicholas Savage has returned to a pop palette with his most brilliant batch of classic ballads to date. His new album, “The Knowing” is a pivot; at once more subversive and yet more fashionable than ever before. Savage engaged several collaborators on this record. Longtime accomplice Pascal Chenard recorded and produced the record with Savage in London, England, where Savage was born. The lead single, “Your Drug”, a reflective duet with Arbutus Records label mate Marci, both familiar and yet with an edgy bareness that allows it to recontextualize its nostalgic trope. Belgian singer songwriter David Numwami played guitar on the songs “Stranger Than Fiction” and “Wild Things” and artist JJ Weihl aka Discovery Zone co-wrote “Pink Bouquet”. Cleverly tucked into the tracklist is a tender cover of Iggy Pop’s “Lust For Life”, somehow appropriately strummed softly in the vein of Green Days’ “Good Riddance”. Sean Nicholas Savage worked with Lulannie for the album artwork photos, which they took on their way out to a New Years Eve 2025 party in New York City. The song “I Love Everything About You” is about their relationship. Sean Nicholas Savage’s “The Knowing” is out on June 27th 2025 via Born Losers Records and Mansions & Millions. 

The Haunt: New Addiction Tour – w/ Himalayas, Chez – EARLY SHOW! – 21+

The Haunt don’t just play heavy – they embody it in all its forms. Through their emotionally charged lyricism, crushing musicality and the immersive energy of their live shows, siblings Anastasia and Maxamillion wield heaviness like a weapon, elevating the most vulnerable parts of their psyche through a death-defying blend of industrial, metal and alternative rock. The duo has, naturally, been musically linked since birth, eventually forming the band AnastasiaMax in 2015 over a shared love of hard rock, garage rock and blues-hewn influences like Amy Winehouse and The White Stripes. With Anastasia only 12 years old, they played clubs across their home state of Florida and soon toured the world alongside acts like Palaye Royale – eventually adopting a name that more closely mirrored the vulnerability, rage, darkness and sinister mystery of their sound. Accolades came quickly, with Kerrang! heralding The Haunt for their “gothic edge, flashes of punk vibrancy and riot grrrl attitude” and Rock Sound dubbing them a “Breakout Artist,” while their prolific musical output has helped their singles and EPs garner more than 40 million streams.

Consisting of two singers and two producers, they have released the majority of their music without ever setting foot in the same room.KOPPS: Never ones to take themselves too seriously, the Rochester-bred trio would tell you that their sound is like if Britney Spears and KoЯn f–ked, and they wouldn’t be entirely wrong.
