YAWNMOWER: YM is a fuzzed out, doom pop outfit from Asbury Park, NJ, on the Mint 400 Records label.
this HOLY rodeo!: this HOLY rodeo! is a group of very well-adjusted young gentlemen creating performance art music in New York City. Centered around four city-slicking snake oil salesmen in Mario Marques, Chris Harth, Sami Habib, and Gaetano Lardieri, the rodeo exists in many permutations and features a rotating cast of characters, real and fictional. Their mutli-faceted live shows have been described by Beyond the Stage magazine as “...electric and eccentric…”. Each show varies wildly in structure and method, some involving chapter-like title cards and paranormal possessions, others with pseudo-sermons and fanatical audience interplay.
STAREAWAY: Stare Away, hailing from New Jersey, craft a distinctive sonic identity, skillfully blending classic punk with electronic undertones. Their sound, a refreshing synthesis of influences, draws significantly from the rich tapestry of the late 70s and 80s music scene. By channeling elements from pioneers like The Sound and The Cure, they pay homage to the brooding, emotive textures of post-punk. Meanwhile, the influence of John Maus and Current Joys injects a modern twist, infusing their music with a blend of lo-fi electronic and indie-rock sensibilities.
