SUNVOLUME
Restless creative energy and sharp contrasts define Sunvolume. Founded in 2020, by Justin Sanetra (guitar, vocals), Jimmy Russell (bass), and Brett Sassetti (drums), their recorded output to date reveals a diverse sonic palette.
GIANT PIT OF GLASS
Some bands don’t walk into a scene—they seep into it. Giant Pit of Glass is one of those Chicago bands that sound like the city looks after midnight: hazy, slow, and softly electric.
HOLLYY
For nearly seven years, Hollyy has been perfecting their unique take on neo-soul. Fusing classic indie rock with R&B and soul to create a warm, groove saturated sound that’s attracted a steadily growing fan base.
BARONESS
We caught Baroness on a day off from the first half of their tour playing their legendary first two albums Red & Blue in their entirety. Four our session, they crushed two tracks from Stone and followed those with incredible instrumental tracks off Red and Blue.
