Endless Riddles


          Hailing from Namur, Belgium, Endless Riddles brings together aspects of acoustic music with alternative stylings to create an engaging blend with strong appeals to emotion.  The brother-sister duo formed in late 2014 when Pierre Schifflers (All Instruments/Vocals) asked his sister, Axelle (Vocals), to collaborate on his debut EP (Endless Riddles).  Their recent sophomore EP, Stable Ground, features the increased inclusion of Axelle's vocals and brings in more delicate elements of the Schifflers' style.

Gabe Lehrer



          With an explorative style, Tucson, Arizona high-schoolers Gabe Lehrer (Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Steel Drums) and Ryan Kemmer (Drum Kit and Percussion) come together to blend various styles of music and entrance their audience with indie-folk styled melodies.  Having met in 2014, the duo have just released their debut album, Cuban Chevy, a compilation of simple, yet interesting folk-esque tunes and experimental, instrumental and otherwise varied tracks that delve into genres like reggae and funk.

The Coronations

          Coming out of Belfast, Northern Ireland, The Coronations make early British-rock and mod inspired music with punk influences and a harder edge.  Having been wholly formed in 2015, bassist Steve, lead guitarist Mark, rhythm guitarist Harv, drummer Dylan, and vocalist Sam have released their debut EP, Midnight In Belfast.  With strong vocals and a hard rockin' sound, The Coronations have certainly carved themselves a niche.

Cinnamon War


          Hailing from the island nation of Malta, Cinnamon War blends 90's mainstream rock with modern pop-rock sensibilities to produce a highly commercially-viable sound that appeals to both the casual listener and those who are more serious about music.  Having formed in 2011, drummer Samuel, bassist Andre, guitarist Robert, and vocalist Mike have collectively released 4 singles since 2014.  Their most recent single (released April 7, 2016) "Tell Me Now" is definitely amongst their best and accurately displays the raw talent of the band.
