Double Deüce:
"In the wilderness of the early 00s, at the dawn of Bush’s America, NYC’s anti-folk scene served as an oasis for disaffected weirdos, singing uncomfortable truths in the most comforting of melodies, and among that community of potty-mouths, no one found hope in the profane quite like brother-sister duo Double Deüce. Over his unwavering acoustic guitar rhythms, Toby Goodshank (The Moldy Peaches) crooned with earnest rock star passion, whether singing about love or blueberry cocks, while Angela Carlucci (Little Cobweb, The Baby Skins, Herman Dune) made each song sound almost hymnlike with her seraphic soprano. Their nonsensical anthems made emotional sense to listeners who longed for tenderness in a chaotic, unstable world.

And so, with the world more chaotic and unstable than ever, it’s not a moment too soon for Double Deüce’s triumphant return, with their first full-length album in 19 years, “Warm Ham in a Foreign Home.” A collection of joyful, endearing songs – like schoolyard chants from a school for interdimensional alien tweens – ”Warm Ham” is a soothing balm for a new age of constant crisis."

Joe Jack Talcum:
Joe Jack Talcum (a/k/a Joe Genaro) is a songwriter and musician from southeastern Pennsylvania best known as the guitarist for the Philadelphia-based punk band The Dead Milkmen of which he is a founding member.

The Johns:
Blending 70s Lower East Side salon punk and desert island beachy vibes, 'Forge' is the debut album from New York City's 'The Johns' out on Valentine's Day via Concierge Records and Lousy Moon. Produced by Ben Fries and featuring Wah Together's Phil Mossman, 'Forge' is a swirling soundscape and lyrical labyrinth from the mind of frontman Johnny Dydo whose lapsed anti-folk songwriting garners comparisons to Lou Reed and David Berman of The Silver Jews.

Girls Can't Skate:
GIRLS CAN’T SKATE is an experimental rock group hailing from New York City who prioritizes group catharsis by looking to create space for kind and considerate people to shove each other. Band members consist of Emely Truong, Devon Hoskins, Dot Davis, and our wonderful entourage of rotating drummers (Courtney Burnett, James Hooker, Fuzhi Zhao, Oli Boman).
