Age Sixteen

"Age sixteen plays a very distinctive style of emo with clean fast guitars, spacey reverb, and complex drumming, often compared toSuis La Lune, with vocals sounding somewhat similar to a more emotional/aggressive Bear vs. Shark" BULLSHIT just straight up screamy vocals with a clean guitar. Listen to these guys if you like Boy problems ect.

Hop Along, Queen Ansleis

"Frances makes silly folk songs that might make you smile or sigh. she has two brothers, and they are both drummers. One’s in a band called Hey Hey, and they are great. The other brother is great solo. Frances has a new album out, called “freshman year.” If you like stories and singing and yelling and bells and banjos and drums and some kazoo, you might like this. Hope to smile and sigh with you at the next show."

Friend/Enemy

"Friend/Enemy is the new release from the confounding and prolific collective that brought us Cap’n Jazz, Joan of Arc and Owls. Spattering, loud, wild and moody. Lyrical twists forming scenarios previously unimagined." Just another Kinsella project and a monster at that. Feels like Owls at moments may be to avant garde for some people.

Penpal

“Penpal is a project of Steve and Brett (former members of Marquette, both guitarists), which started in 2008. Began working together on this, but Steve moved to Chicago in 3 hours from where Brett lives, so they continued working on the project at a distance, by sending their creations to each other over the Internet. The thing was so, one started with an idea, the other finished, and vice versa."
