Quattracenta: “Quattracenta is a three-piece art rock band from Baltimore, MD, who draw on post punk and no wave influences to create cathartic and meditative songs about mortality and longing. The trio of indie rock veterans is led by guitarist/vocalist Sarah Matas, bassist Christian Sturgis, and drummer Andrea Shearer. Their most recent record “II” was produced by J Robbins (Jawbox, Government Issue) and released by Bob Nastanovich’s (Pavement, Silver Jews) Brokers Tip label.”

Rip Room: “Once described as “dance music for people who don’t like to dance,” Rip Room prefers the humble designation “dance music for people who like to dance … but are also bummed out”. This three-piece from San Francisco play high-energy art punk with a math-y, prog edge — propulsive rhythms and piercing lyrics, but with a sense of buoyancy — wolves in sheep’s clothing. The band released their first full length LP with Spartan Records and is currently working on their next record.”
