                                <description><![CDATA[Hannah Amond, professionally known as Hannah Diamond, is a British pop artist recognized for her distinctive 360&#176; music project, where experimental pop, visual world-building, and performance merge into a singular artistic identity. Emerging as a core figure of the label PC Music in the early 2010s, she has played a defining role in shaping the sound and aesthetic of contemporary experimental pop. Her sound is defined by a &#8220;hyper-real&#8221; exploration of pop perfection, blending euphoric early-2000s trance and emotional dance music with ultra-polished digital pop writing and production. Drawing on the plasticity of pop as both a sonic and cultural form, her work transforms familiar tropes into something uncanny, intimate, and futuristic. At the core of her songwriting is a critical exploration of the &#8220;girled&#8221; experience mediated through screens and popular culture. She explores post-internet femininity, where girlishness extends beyond gender to become its own language and performance of identity. Her lyrics explore self-construction, beauty, vulnerability, and transformation, often framed through technology and images. She examines how intimacy and self-expression are shaped online, creating music that feels deeply personal yet widely recognizable. As a multidisciplinary artist, Hannah extends her musical world through a tightly controlled visual language, creating her own artwork and imagery. Her self-portraiture and visual direction function as an extension of her music, amplifying the emotional narratives of her songs and transforming her into a hyper-defined pop persona. Across her career, she has released critically influential music that has helped define experimental pop. Often retrospectively grouped under the term &#8220;hyperpop,&#8221; her work has inspired a generation of artists across underground and mainstream scenes while cultivating a dedicated LGBTQ+ audience drawn to its emotional directness, heightened femininity and exploration of identity. Her work bridges conceptual art and commercial pop, positioning her as both a cult figure and a key architect of a new pop visual and sonic language. This has led to collaborations across music, fashion, and visual culture, including high-profile photographic work with global brands and artists such as MAC Cosmetics, Nike, Starship Entertainment (for IVE), Charli XCX, Bladee, and Kim Petras, alongside musical collaborations with A. G. Cook, SOPHIE, Charli XCX, TDJ, Tommy Cash, and f5ve. &#160; Local support from Emoji Heap &#38; Sweetbabyjames]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Sign up for presale here &#8594; https://drop.cobrand.com/d/AvalonEmerson/andthecharm-august Now one of dance music&#8217;s most respected DJs,&#160;Avalon Emerson first made a name for herself in the storied warehouse scene of her birthplace, San Francisco, before relocating to Berlin in 2013. Over a decade of performances at the famed Berghain led to appearances at numerous festivals around the world which all cemented Emerson as perennially in demand.&#160; Her DJ sets transcend the confines of time or genre by recontextualizing dance music from previous eras among contemporary sounds weaving together house, techno, new wave, disco, and rave obscurities with her own productions and edits.&#160; In 2019 she launched 9000 Dreams, her own international series of events, as the curatorial expression of her musical vision. Showcasing the breadth of her eclectic taste over the course of a club night, artists on the lineup range from heavy hitters to exciting new names. In 2020, she released her first full-length collection: a contribution to the long-running DJ-Kicks series (which Resident Advisor described as &#8220;The sound of a well-honed DJ at the top of her game.&#8221;), nestled alongside a steady stream of remix releases for the likes of Four Tet, Slowdive, Robyn and more. Next up was 2023&#8217;s Avalon Emerson &#38; the Charm, an instant classic which saw Emerson exploring her singing voice and more traditional songwriting outside of the boundaries of her dance music work.&#160; Created after a move to New York, the resulting &#38; the Charm album was released to critical acclaim, landing on numerous critics&#8217; best-of-the-year lists. In 2025 Avalon focused on her DJ career with a heavy schedule of worldwide touring including a 9000 Dreams tour, a celebrated closing slot at Dekmantel festival, and the release of Perpetual Emotion Machine, a series of singles created for her DJ sets, spanning genres and decades, and delivered as a living, evolving project. &#160; In 2026 the stage is now set for her to carve out a wholly unique path starting with the release of the propulsive, breakbeat assisted &#8220;Eden&#8221; and the announcement of Written into Changes, the second full length from the Avalon Emerson &#38; the Charm project and the first to be released by indie powerhouse Dead Oceans.&#160; A slate of worldwide &#38; the Charm tour dates will follow.&#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[More Eaze is the project of Brooklyn-based sound artist and multi-instrumentalist Mari Maurice. Ranging from ambient pop to folk and musique concrete, her numerous solo and collaborative releases weave mundane, everyday sounds, acoustic orchestration and instrumentation, and electronics into adventurous textural compositions. Her music explores themes of intimacy, yearning, Americana, and the transformation of abstract feeling into intense living through compositions that move seamlessly between the banal and the ethereal. She has recently released work with Thrill Jockey, 15 Love, Longform Editions, Leaving Records, Ecstatic, and Orange Milk. Her work as a string arranger, pedal steel player, and producer has recently been featured on recordings by Martha Skye Murphy, Water Damage, Lomelda, Fashion Club, Claire Rousay, Space Afrika and Rainy Miller, and Nick Zanca amongst others. She regularly performs in the duos Pink Must (w/ Lynn Avery) and whait (w/ Wendy Eisenberg). Wendy Eisenberg has spent the past decade as a fixture of independent music and an artist of inspired multiplicity. As a singer-songwriter, improviser, and virtuoso guitarist, the coordinates of their artistry are ever-shifting, from art-rock to jazz to blistering free improv and eloquent folk. On catalog highlights including 2020&#8217;s 'Auto' and the 2024 free-jazz sprawler 'Viewfinder', they&#8217;ve made a signature of ambition. As Eisenberg told fellow guitarist Nick Millevoi in an interview for Premier Guitar in 2021, &#8220;I need to be in a punk band at the same time as I need to be playing free improv at the same time as I need to be playing songs. All at the same time&#8212;otherwise none of the practices will work for me.&#8221; Their musical range isn&#8217;t a glib manifestation of eclecticism, but a genuine artistic essence. &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[On February 27, 2026, Shane Parish released the album Autechre Guitar on Bill Orcutt&#8217;s Palilalia Records. A seemingly impossible task, Parish arranged ten songs by the electronic UK duo Autechre for solo acoustic guitar, and performed them with warmth, feeling, and precision. A beautifully recorded collection of songs, the album was met with universal acclaim, going into multiple pressings, and leading to a slew of international festival invitations to perform the music live.&#160; &#8220;In the midst of an ever-expanding discography that swerves from jazz and avant-garde to folk and blues, free improv and studious composition and attention-grabbing covers,&#160;Shane Parish&#160;is the perfect artist to take [Autechre&#8217;s Music] on: a master&#8217;s thesis after years of intense field work.&#8221; &#8212;Sam Sodomsky, Pitchfork &#8220;Autechre Guitar is elegant and crystalline, a set of fascinating miniatures composed of unexpected links and gaps. It&#8217;s as confounding and crafted as an Escher staircase.&#8221; &#8212; Derek Walmsley, The Wire &#8220;Ultimately, Autechre Guitar works on multiple levels&#8230; an invitation to listen deep inside the music&#8230; and to simply get lost in Shane&#8217;s astonishingly fleet playing.&#8221; &#8212; Philip Sherburne, Futurism Restated &#8220;By unplugging Autechre, Parish has given their music even more power.&#8221; &#8212;Reed Jackson, Spin Magazine]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Veradas brings an onslaught of sludgy riffs, tribal drums, harmony vocals, arty effects, and cathartic hooks. In some form or another, they&#8217;re inspired by shoegaze, jazz, funk, 1990s grunge and alt-rock, Kraut rock, the madness of the Aussies, and the abandonment of the Pacific Northwest. Their music is a cathartic purge of modern angst rendered as serrated psychedelic art-punk grunge. &#160; &#160; Die Right is here to shake it up with a sound that&#8217;s equal parts 80s /90s pop-rock nostalgia and gritty post-punk energy. Born from the wreckage of the past but fueled by the fire of today, they serve up irresistibly catchy hooks, blazing guitar solos, angelic harmonies, infectious rhythms, and a live show that&#8217;ll have you smiling, singing, and rocking out until the sun comes up. With members originally hailing from the Bay Area, LA and London, Die Right blends their musical backgrounds into something fresh, exciting, and undeniably fun. &#160; Mike Mannequin&#160;is a melodic post-punk band from Portland, Oregon, blending moody landscapes with bursts of garage rock energy and ambient punk undertones. With a goal of making&#160;spooky pop, their sound is both haunting and dynamic. Founded by Michael Young, a fixture in Portland&#8217;s music scene for over 20 years, the band features members from acts like Corrina Repp, King Who, and Brother&#8217;s Young. Rooted in the city&#8217;s grassroots music community, Mike Mannequin crafts evocative songs that resonate with fans of dark, melodic sounds.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[SLOW MAGIC&#160; Darkness and light, aggression and gentleness, ecstasy and reflection: these dualities define Slow Magic&#8217;s third and strongest project to date, Float. An expansive and inventive compendium of modern electronic pop, the enigmatic producer&#8217;s latest spans a multitude of genres and moods resulting in a listening experience that makes for its own journey. Written and recorded over the past two years, work on Float commenced shortly after touring behind 2014&#8217;s dreamy How to Run Away, the record&#8217;s jagged and surprising new sounds taking shape after a leisurely trip to Iceland in order to &#8220;try to get away&#8221; from things. A subsequent trip to Japan&#8212;wherein Slow Magic performed in the country for the first time&#8212;further solidified what would go into the album&#8217;s sonic and visual motifs. Float marks a number of &#8220;firsts&#8221; for Slow Magic: it&#8217;s the first time the producer&#8217;s worked with live drums, as well as the first time they&#8217;ve brought guest vocalists into the Slow Magic world, from MNDR and Swedish electro-rockers Kate Boy to like-minded producer Tropics and Antlers frontman Peter Silberman. But it&#8217;s a testament to Slow Magic&#8217;s unique creative approach that these different voices coalesce on an album that presents a uniform vision even as it embraces exuberant creativity. Music has always provided a retreat for anyone looking to lose themselves in pure sound, and Float is a trip that no one will regret taking. Recently, he put out his 5th studio album, forgotten feels, and in 2024 he plans to put out a how to run away bonus disk around the 10 year anniversary of his second album. In 2026, slow magic plans to release his 6th studio album &#8220;emotion engine&#8221; in the summer.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Unseen Object&#160;is a Portland-based alternative rock band formed in 2022. Blending restless songwriting with a stripped, emotionally direct approach, Unseen Object&#8217;s sound draws from contemporary indie rock while staying loose, searching, and unvarnished. Their songs move between concrete detail and abstraction while grappling with grief, dislocation, and the impulse to keep going anyway. Their debut album, Life Is Long and Easy, which will be&#160;out via Bee Side Cassettes, was recorded in 2025 in a basement studio in&#160;Northeast Portland. The record carries a raw, live-tracked energy, prioritizing feel, interplay, and lyrical immediacy over polish. It leans on the elasticity and openness that define the indie rock tradition. Unseen Object has been building a local following in&#160;Portland&#160;through intimate live performances and DIY releases. The project is led by multi-instrumentalists David Alvarado, Kai Nealis, and Dylan Bodnarick. &#160; Shanea&#160;is a singer songwriter based in Portland Oregon, whose writing spans the depths of indie folk to rock. They have captivated audiences in Portland with their live performances solo as well as with their band. They are able to move people with their heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies. Their love for songwriting and dedication to the deeply personal makes their discography ever evolving. They released an EP &#8220;The Fifth House&#8221; in 2019 and released their single &#8220;Bathroom Floor&#8221; in 2020. They released their EP &#8220;Root Rot&#8221; in 2024 and their debut LP &#8220;Animal Instincts&#8221; in 2026. &#160; Based out of Portland, Oreghon, the wild and zany funk/hop group Starz Of Da Bizzare are back.&#160;The four man group consists of Dee Arthur, Epix, Kandy Wrappa,&#160; andMeezy Mr. 503. The members come from Los Angeles, Inglewood, Corpus Christi, Portland and Mexico.The group has opened shows for Too Short, YG, E-40, DJ Quik, Erykah Badu, Devin The Dude and The&#160;Roots to name a few.They were brought to MECAP by Tommy Henderson, former LaFace Records executive who also had&#160;been the road manager of Manchild, the first national group that Babyface was in. When Henderson moved to Portland, Oregon after living in Atlanta&#160;home of LaFace, he discovered this group.They have had success with their singles, "The Crawlwalk" (which went Top 5 in the Chicago/Gary&#160;market), "'Bout Tha Movement", "Wayy Upp", "Got Zang!" was a collaboration with one of their idols,&#160;George Clinton and members of Parliament/Funkadelic and the country hip hop/funk of "Yee Ha",&#160;"Everything U Ask 4", "Julie Maple" (which was their single with their group member Fly Trapper who&#160;passed away in his sleep from a heart attack), "Receipts", "Bizzarian Show" and several group member have done solo projects while they were on hiatus, Dee Arthur a/k/a Funk Mouf&#160;did the album BLAKK EHGG and the single "All Night Long" which is all about his love for the human&#160;beat box and it featured his group members Epix &#38; Kandy Wrappa. Epix has done two solo singles "We&#160;Came To Party" and "Body On Me" , both of which featured Meezy Mr. 503 and Kand Wrappa did a&#160;single with his fallen comrade Fly Trapper called "I Can't Breathe".With their love for acts like OutKast, Bootsy, Midnight Star, Slave, The Ohio Players, Cameo and Cameo, it was a dream come to work with George Clinton and his grandson Tra'zae Clinton (who also produced "Got Zang!").

                                <description><![CDATA[A reflection of both the industrial grime and the sun-soaked glow of Los Angeles, Casket Cassette is the project of Constant Williams, blending euphoria and melancholy into a sound that evokes the complexities of the human condition. The music is dark yet danceable, drawing from post-punk, darkwave, new wave, EBM, synthpop, and alternative influences to create something both nostalgic and new. The name comes from a childhood memory of Williams&#8217; father recording a live song onto a cassette and placing it into his grandfather&#8217;s casket as it was lowered into the ground. That image still lingers in his songwriting, where themes of loss, addiction, heartbreak, and recovery meet flashes of humor, resilience, and the will to keep moving forward. Williams lives in Los Angeles and earned his MFA in Poetry from the Iowa Writers&#8217; Workshop in 2024. Casket Cassette will be releasing new music through 2026 and heading overseas in May for its Wave Gotik Treffen debut, marking the start of a new chapter for the project.&#160; &#160; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Camp Blu emerged from Miami in late 2022, blending indie, surf, and post-punk influences with reverb-soaked guitars and punchy rhythms to create a sound that&#8217;s both nostalgic and fresh. Their high-energy tracks are driven by melodic hooks and evocative vocals that swing between yearning and defiance&#8212;perfect for both the chaos of a live show and the introspection of a solo car ride.Formed by longtime friends Frank Ferrer (bass) and Angelo Ruiz (vocals and rhythm guitar),who&#8217;ve known each other since 5th grade, the duo bonded over their love for bands likeMGMT and Interpol. After playing with Daniel Cardona (lead guitar) at a local showcase, they connected over some drinks and shared experiences in Florida&#8217;s difficult-to-navigate music scene and a mutual desire to write music together. The trio quickly solidified their creative vision, forming Camp Blu and blending their influences into a unique sound. &#160; Famous Friend is the sun-bleached, indie surf solo project of ASCAP award-winning artist and producer Zachariah Carlson. Born out of the fame-soaked dreamscape of West Los Angeles, Famous Friend began as an alter-ego, a playful mirror of the city&#8217;s obsession with image. His music blends washed-out indie surf guitars with sparkling dream pop production and post-punk drums, balancing joy and heartbreak in equal measure.The result is nostalgic and cinematic: beach day euphoria melts into late night reflections about relationships past and present. Songs like&#8220;Tan lines&#8221;and&#8220;Nora&#8221;have earned millions of streams and support from KCRW tastemakers and helped secure a spot as a recent member of the prestigious Taco Bell Feed the Beat class of 2025. Amidst all the noise, Famous Friend continues to turn California melancholy into shimmering, golden-hour anthems for dreamers and outsiders. &#160;P.S. The multi-instrumentalist is also a frequent writer, producer, collaborator with some of Los Angeles&#8217;s premiere indie and alternative acts like Winnetka Bowling League, Casket Cassette, and Floats as well as composer for shows like the Emmy-Nominated&#8220; Alexa &#38;Katie.&#8221; &#160; FLOATS is the project of Mark Perez, started in 2017 in San Antonio, Texas as a way torelease demos and songs that didn&#8217;t have a place anywhere else. Now based in LosAngeles, the project has grown into a constantly evolving outlet shaped by years of writing, shifting lineups, and nonstop movement.From early releases like Not an Album (2018) and singles like Elbowz and Dancing with OurFeet to later work including Stealing Turf from a Cowboy, Conspiracy Theory, Dead (ft. Flowerbabe), and the self-titled FLOATS album, the sound has continued to stretch&#8212;raw, emotional, and rooted in punk energy]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Pop provocateur Dorian Electra is a world-builder whose work blurs genre, performance, and spectacle into a singular vision.&#160; Their breakout debut&#160;Flamboyant&#160;(2019) introduced a maximalist universe rooted in satire, queerness, and theatrical pop. Its follow-up&#160;My Agenda&#160;(2020) pushed further into sharper political commentary and harder-edged sound design, fusing pop with metal, electronic, baroque, and experimental influences. Their third album&#160;Fanfare&#160;(2023) expanded that world even further, weaving together pop, glam rock, orchestral, and electronic music while leaning fully into excess, irony, and the cult of celebrity, with tracks like &#8220;Freak Mode&#8221; and &#8220;Sodom &#38; Gomorrah&#8221; embodying its theatrical intensity. Across this trajectory, Dorian has collaborated with boundary-pushing artists including Lady Gaga, Charli XCX, 100 gecs, Village People, and Pussy Riot, while more recent work with Amnesia Scanner, Frost Children, and f5ve reflects an ongoing period of exploration across singles, and remixes. This stretch has seen them experiment more freely with structure, texture, and tone - from high-gloss pop to club-driven and deconstructed approaches. Now, Dorian enters a new phase with an ambitious covers project and forthcoming album, reinterpreting iconic songs through their distinct lens of theatricality, irony, and emotional intensity. The project transforms familiar material into something uncanny and immersive, blurring nostalgia with reinvention and further expanding the boundaries of Dorian's world. Whether on record or on stage, Dorian Electra operates with total creative autonomy, using music as a tool for transformation, confrontation, and liberation. With support from: Oskie]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Junior Varsity is an LA based duo made up of singer/songwriter-producers Greg Aram &#38; Zach Michel. After dropping &#8220;Cross The Street&#8221; EP Fall of 2024 &#38; a critically acclaimed 2 pack EP with Warner Records, JV are ready to release their upcoming EP &#8220;Ready&#8221; independently. The first single of this forthcoming EP &#8220;Radio&#8221; is highly anticipated for April 2026 and is part of &#8220;Side A&#8221; of series of releases with &#8220;Side B&#8221; of the two-part project due out later in the year. Unlike most bands, JV built their career off of being the best kept secret of the music industry - often throwing underground shows or being written up in DIY grunge magazines for notoriety. Fans of JV know them as being the rowdy garage punk band next door, but this next project sets them up to cross into the mainstream industry. After putting in the work, JV are prepared to bring their die hard fans along as they propel into superstardom. JV are focused on continuing to establish themselves as world builders. They write and produce their own music, while simultaneously playing a critical role in their visual aesthetic and brand. They also music direct and build their own shows. They hope to scale the traditional way - one fan at a time - without skipping steps. Although self identified underdogs, JV is anything but that. Their grit and determination as a band to achieve success is unparalleled. With bands in the digital age focused on virtual connection, JV is set on physical connection with fans. JV will set out on a headline tour summer 2026 following the release of &#8220;Ready&#8221;. They recently returned from runs with Jean Dawson and LANY and a sold-out headline run around the US. In 2025 they hit the road with their headline tour &#8220;My Star&#8221; along with festivals such as Lollapalooza and Shaky Knees. As they scale, JV are being recognized by the likes of Complex, Billboard, CLASH, Pigeons and Planes, Wonderland, and more. They have been co-signed by artists varying from Blink-182, to Gracie Abrams, to Chappel Roan, and The Marias. JV is prepared to show the world they&#8217;re no longer second best...but here to get first prize.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Matthew Dear was raised in Kingsville, Texas, and bounced between trailer homes, raised on a diet of country and rock until his older brother, inspired by the developing romance between South Texas and electronic music, gifted him cassettes by artists like Depeche Mode and Nitzer Ebb. His dad was a fisherman and managed an Elk&#8217;s Lounge where he played guitar. Matthew moved to Michigan with his parents in 1995 and at age 16 began recording acoustic guitar music to 4-track tapes. In the late &#8216;90s, he discovered the abandoned warehouse rave scene in Detroit and started making techno music on ensoniq sampler. In college, he delivered pizzas and threw his own raves in the pizza shop basement on the weekends. &#160; Matthew met Sam Valenti IV at a college house party and became the founding artist on the Ghostly International label. Matthew had already brought his demo cassette to the legendary Carl Craig who said he was looking for something more &#8220;mind expanding&#8221; and encouraged him to keep working on his music. His first release on Ghostly (also the label&#8217;s first) was a split 12&#8221; with the late Dave &#8220;Disco D&#8221; Shayman. The title track was called &#8220;Put Your Hands Up For Detroit,&#8221; which a decade later would be sampled and turned into a #1 International hit. Matthew also helped shape the sound of Ghostly&#8217;s dancefloor offshoot, Spectral Sound, with several releases under his techno alias Audion. Twenty years later his music would be released by Carl Craig&#8217;s label as the project Brain. &#160; Matthew&#8217;s bedroom-crafted debut album,&#160;Leave Luck To Heaven, came out in 2003 to praise in the New York Times and a four-star review from Rolling Stone. His&#160;Asa Breed&#160;and&#160;Black Cityalbums allowed him to drift further out, the latter being named Pitchfork&#8217;s Best New Music. In 2012 he released&#160;Beamsto further acclaim and toured internationally with Depeche Mode and Hot Chip. &#160; In 2016 Matthew retired from a life of wanton excess, after years of drug and alcohol-induced malaise. For his 2018 album,&#160;Bunny, Matthew collaborated with Tegan and Sara as well as Detroit&#8217;s Protomartyr, and Ricardo Villalobos. Throughout the years he has remixed Spoon, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and The Postal Service and lent his ideas/ears to General Electric, Microsoft, and Ford. MGMT invited him to remix every song from their album Little Dark Age. In 2021, Matthew released&#160;Preacher's Sigh &#38; Potion: Lost Album, a collection shelved from a decade earlier. Matthew teaches and lives in Michigan with his wife, three kids, three goats, and a dog.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Album CDs and album merch will be available at this show&#160;for The Hugs' new album Waking Up In the Future,&#160;ahead of the official release date on June 5! &#160; The Hugs are a dynamic blend of 90's Brit-pop and Pacific Northwest grunge. Founded in 2007 in Portland, OR. &#160; The Hugs push their alternative pop foundation into forward-thinking territory&#8212;blending classic song craft with subtle experimentation and modern production choices that feel distinctly 2026 without chasing indie trends. Portland, OR&#8211;based alternative pop band The Hugs return with Waking Up In The Future, their ninth full-length album, arriving June 5, 2026. The record finds the band expanding their brit pop-influenced alternative sound into something more reflective, cinematic, and forward-looking&#8212;balancing melodic immediacy with late-night introspection. Across nine tracks, Waking Up In The Future explores time, futuristic themes, romance, and quiet optimism (in an increasingly fast paced digital world), pairing warm guitar textures and hook-driven songwriting with subtle electronic elements, big drums, and lo-fi atmospheres. Songs shift effortlessly between intimate, late-night moments to expansive and cinematic passages. &#160; &#160; Portland&#8217;s Risley (Riz &#8211; Lee) is a four piece band that can be described as dreamy and nostalgic Indie Rock with a twist of 80s British influence. A web of guitar melodies often sit atop a driving rhythm section to stage the back drop for soaring vocals and thoughtful lyrics. They celebrated the release of their new album, &#8216;Umbra Penumbra&#8217;, this Spring at Mississippi Studios.&#160;This June, the band was honored and thrilled to share their live session in the KEXP studios, where they&#160;had charted for six weeks.. The record also notably features a guest appearance on the song &#8216;Walls&#8217; by&#160;Dave Abbruzzese (Pearl Jam) on drums. &#160; The Fine Print blends groove-driven passages with art-rock interplay, lyrically driven subtextual narratives, and synth textures weaving psychedelic tendencies.&#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Alt-pop agitator girli describes her upcoming album 'Nothing Hurts Like a Girl' as her most "reflective" and "vulnerable" body of work yet. "It&#8217;s about the pain of being in queer relationships and getting hurt by a girl, but also the pain of being a woman and figuring out who you are," says the musician also known as Milly Toomey. This personal growth has coincided with an evolution in how girli approaches her artistry. When she broke through seven years ago with edgy electro gems like 'Girls Get Angry Too', she relished being combative. "Initially I was pissed off about a lot of things and I just wanted to get them out," she says. "But now, writing songs is like therapy for me &#8211; it's about processing things I've gone through and how they shaped me as a person."&#160; Born and raised in north London, girli started out singing in bands, but soon realised she was "too much of a control freak" not to go solo. She adopted her stage name and signature pink hair during this period as a way of "weaponising everything that was being used against me". Right from the start, girli took pride in being slyly subversive. "The word 'girly' has so much stigma attached to it because it's often used to belittle femininity," she explains. "I wanted to take that word and turn it into something powerful, and I changed the 'y' to an 'i' so people would be able to find my music on Google." Now, with fans around the world embracing girli's music as an inspiring and comforting part of their everyday lives, she is ready to enter her most revealing era. Anthemic bangers like &#8216;Matriarchy&#8217; and &#8216;Nothing Hurts Like a Girl&#8217; are already highlights of her incendiary live show. "I was definitely an angsty teenager who wanted to shout into the mike and put my middle fingers up to everyone," she says with a laugh. "But over time, I've become more sensitive as a person, which has made my music even more authentic. I still definitely have that feisty side, but I like that I can also be more vulnerable in my music. With this album I'm showing more of myself than ever before, and that's a really exciting feeling."]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[That question has been the engine behind one of the internet&#8217;s most fascinating indie breakthroughs. Is it one guy? Two? A viral account spiraling into a music project? Ray Bull has spent their existence purposefully blurring these lines. They are artists and they are musicians; they are deeply serious and terminally online; they are a pop group and an art project. With their new album, Please Stop Laughing, they finally offer an answer to the question of who they are, mostly by further obfuscating it. Aaron Graham and Tucker Elkins make up Ray Bull, but they function less like a traditional band and more like a continuous, living feedback loop. They met while in college at Cooper Union, not as musicians, but as visual artists. Graham focused on images, Elkins on film. When they reconnected years later at a gallery show in Brooklyn, they realized they had both been privately drifting toward music. They moved into a loft in Bushwick, and the lines between their lives and their art began to dissolve. This multidisciplinary background explains their initial rise. Knowing nothing about the music industry, they leaned on what they did know: storytelling and image-making. They treated their band identity as a malleable medium. Early viral success came from a series called &#8220;Did You Know,&#8221; where they utilized Photoshop and jarring video transitions to weave fictional, experimental narratives about celebrities. It was a play on reality, a test of what the audience would believe, an accessible format that devolved into experimental media. A similar logic applied to their &#8220;Songs That Are The Same&#8221; series, where they played two popular songs simultaneously to reveal a magical, uncanny sync. Word began to spread, and Ray Bull quickly amassed over 600k followers on TikTok and another 500k on Instagram; these followers soon became fans of the band&#8217;s original songs, to the tune of over 40mm global streams. All of this was content, sure, but it was also a manifesto: Ray Bull sees the continuous thread running through art and pop culture and rearranges it to fit their own design. That design was forged in the physical proximity of their apartment. Please Stop Laughing is the sound of two people living, sleeping, and creating on top of one another. The writing process wasn't just collaborative; it was osmotic. One would play piano in the living room while the other shouted melodies from the kitchen. The song &#8220;Under Your Eyelid&#8221; serves as the perfect artifact of this environment. Elkins, hearing a melody drifting from Graham&#8217;s room, pulled out his phone to Shazam it, hoping to add it to his library. When it came up empty, he realized it was Graham. He walked into the room, they jumped on the track together, and the result is a seamless fusion of their instincts. The album reflects this "everything at once" mentality. It creates a sonic world that feels familiar yet distinctly fresh and new, borrowing from the sheen of 80s synth-pop, the intimacy of 70s Laurel Canyon singer-songwriters, and the polished hooks of contemporary Top 40.]]></description>

His debut EP Wonderland - released inOctober 2024 via PULSE Records and Pete Wentz&#8217;s DCD2 - introduced a world shaped byqueerness, self-acceptance, and emotional release, establishing him as a rising voice within thealternative landscape.In early 2025, he broke out with the viral single &#8220;God Save The Queens&#8221;, a defiant celebration ofqueer identity that amassed over one million streams and sparked a wave of fan support. Itsneon-lit video, featuring RuPaul&#8217;s Drag Race star Salina Es Titties, became an instant rallyingpoint for the LGBTQIA+ community, and a portion of proceeds from his limited-run merchsupported the Los Angeles LGBT Center.Onstage, Vienna Vienna is electric. His performances radiate emotional intensity, queer joy, anda magnetic unpredictability that feels both intimate and explosive. He captivated audiences onhis support runs with K.Flay and Valley, and dazzled at headline shows across California,transforming every room into a space of communal release. As his fanbase continues to grow,so does the world he&#8217;s building - one where strangeness is celebrated, connection is central,and the live show is the beating heart of it all.Now entering his new era with the Entertain Me EP, Vienna Vienna leans into groove-drivenproduction and sharp, self-aware songwriting. Singles like &#8220;Idle Hands&#8221; and &#8220;Company Hunting&#8221;showcase his blend of 80s pop energy, modern indie rock, and introspective lyricism, includingcollaborations with hit songwriter Justin Tranter. Confident, cathartic, and a little bit chaotic,Vienna Vienna continues to build a world where strangeness is celebrated and communitycomes first.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Turkish-born, NYC-based artist INJI is flipping the script on dance-pop &#8212; fusing whip-smart lyrics, floor-shaking beats, and razor-sharp wit into club anthems that hit just as hard intellectually as they do on the dancefloor.. A classically trained pianist turned Wharton grad, she exploded onto the scene with her 2022 viral hit &#8220;GASLIGHT,&#8221; a cheeky, house-infused track that cemented her as a sharp-tongued, satirical voice in dance music. &#160; INJI&#8217;s sound thrives in glittery chaos &#8212; a heady blend of biting humor, cathartic release, and rave-ready euphoria. Tracks like &#8220;BELLYDANCING,&#8221; &#8220;MADELINE,&#8221; and her latest tech-house heater &#8220;BOYS AIN&#8217;T SHIT&#8221; show her knack for turning everyday messiness into anthems of empowerment and release. &#160; &#160; INJI&#8217;s debut mixtape SUPERLAME released October 24, 2025. Think: a sonic cocktail of dizzying highs and delicious chaos, shaken hard and served with side-eye. Breakups, bad dates, existential spirals &#8212; all spun into dance-floor delirium. &#160; Fresh off of her festival slots that lit up Lollapalooza Paris, Osheaga, and Outside Lands, INJI is commanding global stages with her signature rave-as-confessional style. As Rolling Stone UK put it: &#8220;Viral club artist Inji turned her tent into a late-afternoon rave, pouring shots into the mouths of those on the front row while performing her satire-fuelled party bangers; as a precursor to TikTok hit &#8216;GASLIGHT&#8217;, she had crowd members calling out their awful exes.&#8221;&#160;]]></description>
