jurors

5/19/2018

Jurors started as a bedroom project under a different name in 2015. They recorded their first EP, "Shadows at Night" in November 2015 and released it June 2, 2016 with no intention of ever playing it live, until a few months after. Isaac Aquino, lead singer/guitarist, asked cousin Ruben Pasos to lend him his bass expertise whilst pursuing the talents of Javier Valdez (lead guitar) and Jean Nolasco (drums). A year later, they played their first show at Not-So Bummer Summer IV with new songs, released as demos on their Bandcamp.
Jurors seek to pay homage to the post-punk/art rock bands of the late '70s/80s, while bringing modern influences from this current time.
for fans of New Order, Bauhaus, DNA, Gang of Four, Corners, Froth, The Cure and Joy Division.

zunis

5/19/2018

Zunis is an Indie-Psychedelic rock quartet who are undoubtedly pushing limits and putting a fresh spin on the local music scene in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They're sound can be somewhat closely defined as Foals meeting Kings of Leon for a camping trip with Queens of the Stone Age, backed with a vocal approach to match Chris Martin and layered dreamy synths. Zunis is ambitious in contributing to Tulsa's underground music scene, curating and headlining over a dozen warehouse shows and house shows since 2015. With their local following having grown substantially since the release of their Self-Titled EP, Zunis is looking to take their next release, Earth to Self EP, national.

Fencer

5/19/2018

Fencer is a 3-piece rock outfit out of Southern California.

"Beyond the glam and glitz of Hollywood exists a world, rarely represented by a real sound, a hotbed of creativity and determination far away from the lights and hype of the “now” generation, in a world that seemingly gets more distorted every day. FENCER brings a raw power to the soundtrack, a cross section of blues based riffs and a wall of sound that is both unmistakable and unique. FENCER is fronted by vocalist and guitarist Field Cate and the “locked in” Sauve brothers, Cameron and Scott holding down the fort on drum and bass. The trio weaves an unmistakable punch and emotional sound that creates an intense, heavy atmosphere to lose yourself in. FENCER, from deep in the heart of LA’s San Fernando Valley is simple, really. Get lost in it. This is real."

FENCER IS

Field Cate - Guitar/Vocals
Cameron Sauve - Drums/Vocals
Scott Sauve - Bass

Their EP, "With"
Fencer - Soundcast Sessions

shame face

5/19/2018

Creating a fresh new wave of indie music Shameface was formed in February of 2016 in the heart of Vista, California. It all began with Michael Salgado & Joseph Hernandez, the two met in high school and bonded over their similar eclectic taste in music. The two were heavily inspired by the Post-Punk era, spending time writing and playing instruments, they found that making music was a tool that allowed them to express themselves and share their feelings publicly. Without even knowing it, the base of Shameface was being born. Michael and Joseph began recording demos in a garage using a Tascam Portastudio 414. Since the release of their demos, Shameface has been playing shows with Eric Carrillo on the drums, and Noah Lozano on bass. Production on Shameface’s debut album has been in the process since 2017. So stay tuned for new material coming soon!

In October 2017 “All My Friends Have Off Switches” was released. The title being a nod to the videogame Fallout: New Vegas. The group continues to play all over the LA region. The current line-up is Federico Cruz, Geovanni Jeronimo and Kevin Ngo. When Sunset Couriers play a live show, they want three things to happen; the audience to laugh, move around and listen to their stories. Most of the lyrics are often conversational and explore the emotions of various situations within each of the stories. The music itself reminiscent of the Indie, Punk and Emo they listened growing up.
They are currently working on their next release which should be out within a few weeks. They’re usually playing a show, rehearsing or attending another show in the area.
