Adult Magic is a Long Island, New York alt-punk band featuring members of Iron Chic, Broadcaster, and Radar, delivering hooky, guitar-driven songs rooted in the Northeast DIY scene.

Faulty Cognitions is a San Antonio, Texas–based melodic punk band featuring members of groups like Low Culture and Shang-A-Lang, blending jangly indie rock influences with driving punk energy and socially conscious lyrics. Their sound balances catchy, hook-forward songwriting with themes of alienation and political unrest, heard across releases like Somehow, Here We Are (2024) and They Promised Us Heaven (2025).

Ezra Cohen & The Big City Band is a rock outfit from Dover, New Hampshire led by singer-songwriter Ezra Cohen, whose hook-driven songs blend power-pop, alt-rock, and subtle country twang. After years in the DIY scene (including his time in Notches), Cohen expanded his solo work into a full-band project, releasing records like Scream Your Head Off! and Worse for the Wear, showcasing a bigger, melodic guitar sound influenced by artists like The Replacements and The Lemonheads.

Grub Lord is a Portsmouth, New Hampshire punk band known for their riot-grrrl-meets-pop-punk sound, packed with absurd, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and explosive, high-energy performances. Built out of the Seacoast DIY scene, the band leans into chaos, humor, and “don’t-take-us-too-seriously” antics across releases like Grubbe and Slumber Party Ritual, earning a reputation for shows that feel equal parts concert and unhinged spectacle.
