8:00pm - Loose Koozies - “familiar name around RSTB, Detroit’s Loose Koozies add a less cosmic shade to the current alt-country corral. Despite a more grounded approach, the band still elevates the listener on Passing Through You. With a day job drizzle hanging over the album, the band taps into the ‘90s strains that surfaced on Uncle Tupelo, The Jayhawks, and Son Volt, dipping quarter draft drinkers in a bit of grit and growl. The band’s songs flicker with a loose fluorescent flicker, just waiting for a turn on the jukebox. Like fellow trad wayseeker Emily Rose, the band’s songs have a way of unbuttoning the listener, feeling like old friends crackling through the AM static.” -ravensingstheblues

11:45pm - Day Residue - “Hailing from Detroit, DAY RESIDUE channels the feral sound that only the Motor City is capable of. Verging on hardcore, but full of untamed rock’n’roll energy, this cassette is a blast! Six songs that rip so hard it feels like a whirlwind. Gnarly riffs and ferocious drums run rampant through this cassette, while vocals deliver vicious personal diatribes. “Piss Paradise” is a sub-two-minute song that channels punk energy into a guitar-driven basement anthem. I fell in love with this album within the first 30 seconds, and I’m sure you will too.” -maximumrocknroll

11:00pm - Richard Hamilton Group - “The initial reference to “the Mission” and the fact that the car on the cover has California plates made me think that this dude (or this band) is a San Francisco thing., but it looks like it’s a Cleveland thing. Maybe. It’s all very easy to listen to. Catchy and going along at a very nice tempo, the male/female vocals are almost soothing. It’s perfect for the jangly and poppy backdrop. Reminds me of FROM BUBBLEGUM TO SKY. Really great pop music.” -maximumrocknroll

10:15pm - Electric Bug - “Electric Bug combines elements of proto-punk and 60s garage rock, echoing their Detroit roots.”

9:30pm - New Entertainment - new entertainment

8:45pm - Ill Amor - young punks

HIGH IN JULY! OUTER LIMITS SUMMER STROH DOWN RETURNS ONCE MORE!!

11:45pm - Tin Foil - “"Without being unduly influenced by the band name or album title, there's an admirably mean greasiness to this record, with Tin Foil making a country-fried post-punk ruckus that communicates burnout prole art threat while also being thankfully devoid of Anglophilia. I'm loath to call anything "original" these days, but this feels close. It's almost as if Tin Foil think that post-punk was supposed to be an accessible rock 'n' roll language that people could actually use after punk wiped the slate clean(ish) and not just a pastiche of bad-toothed gestures. They are, as they say, crazy for that one." - CREEM

11:00pm - Deadbeat Beat - “Deadbeat Beat have not released much music since 2020, so it is great to hear the Detroit band back with their third album, From Here To Ohio. From those earlier releases, the band has grown and widened the space from their previous sound, which had a touch more garage rock to it. Now we have a record that feels all in on the indie jangle sound, and it creates their best release to date. The core of Maria Nuccilli, Alex Glendening, and Zak Frieling still keeps the guitars crisp, with snappy drums and stacked harmonies that lock in and pull each song forward. Pete Steffy is now aboard on keys, and his glowy synth pads and organ open little trapdoors under songs that used to run on guitar alone.

What gets me is how much heavy feeling can hide inside these 10 bright songs. A worn-out Midwestern dread drifts through the album, scrolling past wildfires on your phone, feeling past your prime while basic survival looks shaky, but the band treats all of it like a party they refuse to leave early. I have listened to this album multiple times, and that darker side stays just out of focus while the ringing chords and interwoven voices do the real work of carrying you somewhere better.” -thefirenote

10:15pm - The Hand - 4/20

9:30pm - Chloe Drallos Group - “A cave can be a refuge. It can also be something to emerge from. Or, in the case of Chloe Drallos: re-emerge.

Following the release of the Detroit-based singer-songwriter’s new album, The Cave, she speaks of “scraping it all back, and starting over…”

Because she is. The Cave is Drallos’s debut full-length as a proper solo artist, recorded and released under her own name, and it all feels like a pretty cathartic rebirth. “Almost like recharacterizing myself,” Drallos says. Up until two years ago, she’d been known as Zilched, a purveyor of what she’d once called “doom pop,” typically presenting as a full band backed by rotating players in the live setting or, when necessary, also as a solo act. It’s always been Drallos’s voice, though; it’s just that she’s “more experienced now,” and asking herself tough questions — tougher questions than before.” -metrotimes

8:45pm - Quitters - “You know why The Stools have been one of the toughest, fiercest and most savage bands to come out of the Motor City since the start of this century? Because every single one of them is soaked to the bone in that legendary underground rock'n'roll DNA that Detroit has always been famous for. Everything they touch turns to gold… today we're bringing you the killer debut on Stahl’s Painters Tapes label from fellow The Stools member Krystian Quint. Quitters, Quint’s solo venture, quickly mutated into a mind-blowing three-piece, delivering a four-track, brain-melting EP that once again carries the torch for a city where playing punk rock is much more than a hobby... it's a responsibility. Because when you're from Detroit, whatever you do had better blow our brains out. And holy shit, these four tracks do exactly that.” -tremendogaraje

Laundry Bats - “It’s not every day that a true Memphis super group crawls out of the shadows, and one packed with these heavy hitters is even more difficult to explain. Formed out of the prolific triangle of Greg Cartwright and Jack Yarber (Reigning Sound/Oblivians/Compulsive Gamblers) with the wild card of Abe White (Manateees/True Sons of Thunder) at the helm, Hangin on a String is a ruthless Memphis punk serving delivered hot & raw around the edges. Making their debut at Gonerfest 2023, they tore a hole in an otherwise enjoyable afternoon like no other, and that same ruthless spirit comes across with the same ferocity here on their debut release. Full of messy hooks and bad ideas taken to the brink, LAUNDRY BATS fill the void of barrel-head rock’n roll left far too open for far too long. As ruthless as that sounds, the Stonesy swagger gives way to full-on BRASS, confirming their solid punk parameters are as confrontational as they are contagious.”

Pearl & the Oysters - “Pearl & The Oysters is a French-American indie pop duo formed by Juliette Pearl Davis and Joachim Polack. The group originated in Paris, later relocating to Gainesville, Florida, and then to Los Angeles. Their music blends elements of indie pop, synth-pop, dream pop, and 1960s/1970s-inspired sounds.” -wikipedia

L’eclair - “L’Eclair, centered around the dynamic brother duo Yavor Lilov and Stefan Lilov—Bulgarian-born and raised in Geneva, Switzerland—is set to make a triumphant comeback in June 2025 with a new LP signed on Innovative Leisure, introducing an exciting fresh line-up that includes Inès Mouzoune, known for her work with projects like Amami, Roshâni, and Baby Volcano. Since their inception in 2015, l’Eclair has captivated audiences with electric shows that transform every performance into a dance party, seamlessly merging modernity with nostalgia. The band’s sound features a robotic tightness, yet remains deeply human, centered around powerful emotions that resonate with fans.”

Suitor - “Suitor could be a poster for the Northeast Ohio scene. Vocalist Emma Shepard grew up in Akron, where her mother and uncle both played in new wave bands, and her father has run a local record shop for over 45 years. She met her bandmates while attending college in Kent, and the group played their first show in Cleveland back in 2021. Their debut, Communion, was recorded by just Shepard and guitarist Chris Corsi and landed as a raw, focused introduction to the band’s post punk sound. Now the full five piece lineup of Shepard, Chris Corsi, bassist John Corsi, guitarist Stephen Ovak, and drummer Ryan Matricardi steps up together on Saw You Out With The Weeds, their first full length for Cincinnati’s Feel It Records. The record was tracked live in Lawrence, Kansas in the spring of 2024 by Caufield Schnug and Lira Mondal of Sweeping Promises, and that live setting shows. This is a band playing in a room together, and you can feel it.” -thefirenote.com

Everything now is just a bonus” he says. “Regardless of what opportunities come in the future, I will keep recording and performing until the day I leave this planet. You can count on that.””
