After parting ways with Ozenza in April 2010, Krystal Lenhart packed up her Nord Electro 2 and took it home…. where after a bit of poking at it, it sat. Un-noisy. That was until reuniting with Josh Stacey (Ozenza/Apostles), in the early Spring of 2011, when the 2 had a great idea of making music together that would sound massively brutal… without guitars.

Between Brains

A dude with drums, a dude with a guitar, singin’ together and making music the way we like it; gettin’ all sessy wit’ it.

Boy With Mace

Alt-Experimental Rock Band, Boy With Mace, is composed of Vincent Persichetti and Aaron Mace. Formed in 2008, Vincent joined Aaron’s former 5-piece collaboration, Circuit Scene, to play lead guitar. After that band fell apart, Vincent and Aaron realized they didn’t need a bassist, a rhythm guitarist, or even a vocalist to experiment with sound. And since then they’ve been writing tunes and playing live shows!

Charles The Osprey

Chris — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 17:40:51 +0000

The duo of Derek Lancioni & Rafael Ohli takes the idea of mathy, heavy songwriting, incorporates quick but understandable transitions, and weaves in a little catchy tapping to create songs that don’t leave your head for days, despite the lack of vocals. With comparisons to Don Caballero, This Town Needs Guns, Russian Circles and Minus the Bear, Charles is constantly evolving, from their obtuse EP “Belongings”, to the carefully crafted debut LP “Consider”, and soon-to-be-released collaborations with a myriad of artists spanning many genres, they show no signs of slowing down.

Good News

Hi, we’re Good News. We’re from Kalamazoo, MI. We got started playing music about 15 months-ago, as an all improvasational band. We improvised around for a few months, without any real “sound” coming through the vibrations. We began writing songs after a few months of being Good News and then mixed improvised music with our actual songs. As more time passed and we wrote more and more, we found that our written material provided, as I said, a more creative outlet for our emotions and cut the improv from our set. We’ve since played around Southwest Michigan. THANKS.

Jowls is Ryan Martin and Jeff Kraus, 2 dudes giggin’ hard from Grand Rapids, Michigan, we strongly believe in having a good time, all the time. “Music isn’t about buying bread, music is about eating bread. It is about holding it in your hand, and smelling it, …and tasting it. It is about it.” GET RUDE, FUCK THE HYPE, FUCK THE BULLSHIT.
