Artists
Downswing
From the vibrant streets of Albany, New York, emerges Downswing, a fierce four-piece metalcore outfit that refuses to be confined by convention. Since their inception in 2018, Downswing has established themselves as a relentless force in the underground music scene, captivating audiences with their explosive blend of aggression and melody. Fronted by the enigmatic vocalist, Harrison Seanor, Downswing delivers a visceral onslaught of impassioned screams and gut-wrenching lyrics that resonate with audiences on a deeply personal level. Guitarist Anthony Salvaggio unleashes a torrent of razor-sharp riffs, while bassist Chris Arnold and drummer Nick Manzella lay down a foundation of thunderous rhythms that drive the band's ferocious energy. From club shows to high-energy festival performances, Downswing commands the stage with an electrifying presence that leaves fans wanting more. Their most recent EP, “Let This Life Devour You ", released in 2024, garnered critical acclaim for its uncompromising intensity and raw emotion, solidifying their status as one of metalcore's most promising acts. As they continue to push the boundaries of their genre and defy expectations, Downswing stands poised to leave an indelible mark on the world of metalcore, igniting a revolution of resilience and defiance with every crushing riff and impassioned scream.
Crooked Teeth
Crooked Teeth started in early 2017 simply as an outlet for founding member Tyson Evans with no grandeur vision in mind other than to make music as a form of catharsis. Since then, the moniker has evolved into a hard hitting, tried and true rock band with the addition of vocalist/guitarist Emma Oakley and drummer Jason Hayes.

In 2022, the trio loaded themselves, gear and aspirations in a minivan and set out to rock faces and make new memories. At festivals such as Aftershock and Welcome To Rockville alongside personal favorites like My Chemical Romance and The Smashing Pumpkins as well as headline dates crisscrossing between both coasts, they earned new fans with their big smiles, potty mouth humor and undeniably catchy two to three minute rock anthems.

In between touring the band released three singles with the intent of moving closer and closer to a debut full length which they are now hard at work on. The third and final single of 2022, "Promise", landed a ton of support from Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora and a whopping 165 spins in one month on Sirius XM's OCTANE channel.

Crooked Teeth closed out the year with sold out opening slots alongside Boys Like Girls, Dead Poet Society and are ready to kick off 2023 with their brand hard hitting self proclaimed introvert anthem "Loser" featuring Cami Petyn dropping on January 20th.
