L7 is a femme fueled rock band. Part punk, part hard-core, and part party band. They are “triumphantly unladylike” and deliver a collision of throat-shredding vocals, crunchy riffs, and a ferocious attitude.
Cherry Glazerr is described by Rolling Stone as “sarcasm-heavy, garage rock” with “hooky choruses and punk stomphas.” Think lo-fi with elements of grunge, punk, and new wave.
Acid Tongue is a garage band influenced by classic soul, punk, and psychedelic rock.
Smokey Brights are a stony blend of Norwest rock & roll with razor-sharp disco grooves. They landed on KEXP’s Best Albums of 2023.
La Fonda shares songs centered on sisterhood and create a sonically atmospheric vibe that lands in dream-pop and alt-rock.
Grace McKagan is the daughter of Guns N’ Roses bass player, Duff. A rockstar by default, her sultry melodies deliver bold yet retro vocals in an alternative meets 60s garage rock punk style.
