THEM VIBES
Location: Nashville, Tennessee
"Fresh out of the studio, Them Vibes newest record is a kaleidoscopic bang of color and sound. It’s deep yet cheeky. Free but structurally mature. Funked up and rocked far out. They call their record Sonic Chameleonic, and it is exactly that: one organic musical force sonically color-defying with every track. Available on all streaming platforms, and 140 gram vinyl."
“The EP is a brief but stimulating five track bite of groove, likely to lift spirits and provide reprieve during current perilous times.” - MACIE BENNETT — American Songwriter
The Bellrays
Location: Riverside, California
The BellRays are a force of nature hailing from Riverside, California. If music is food for the soul, then The BellRays are Thanksgiving and they know how to cook. The BellRays strip down to the meat of what music means to them and serving up all sides. Growing up in SoCal, they thrived on radio channels that broadcast more than one kind of music. It was a party. ‘Punk Funk Rock Soul’ is their party, the songs are your must meet new friends.
Catch them opening for Social Distortion in the U.S and Canada 2023
Alex Rahal
Location: Nashville, Tennessee
Restless-Alex Rahal (of Them Vibes) brings a debut record-erupting into existence. Enlisting the explosive musical talents of Bobby Holland, Them Vibes, and Rude Music, Rahal co-produced Restless with Holland and his musical brother in arms, and co-founder of Them Vibes, Larry (Brother Love) Florman. The result is a record that reminds the listener of McCartney’s 'Ram,' Neil’s 'After the Gold Rush,' and Petty’s 'Wildflowers,' to name a few, where space and sonic exploration, expertly executed by a royal flush of musicians, allow the honesty of Rahal’s songs to be in full bloom.

The Legendary Shack Shakers
Location: Paducah, Kentucky
A roots rock juggernaut from Nashville, Tennessee, the Legendary Shack Shakers are a hot-rodded combo combining blues, rockabilly, country, and rock & roll into one manic assemblage boasting all the gloriously explosive instability of an M-80. Led by firebrand frontman Colonel J.D. Wilkes on lead vocals and harmonica, the band has an irreverent streak in their lyrics and high-spirited attack, but they play with skill, commitment, and a genuine love of the music they're bending to their approach.
The Darts
Location: Tacoma, Washington
THE DARTS formed in 2016 with the goal of making great all-girl garage-rock noise, see the world, and have a fab slumber party every night. We threw on some vintage black slips, threw off our shoes, and set out on the ad- venture.
“Gets even the most apathetic nerds moshing. Crank it!” – Rolling Stone (FR)
“The Darts ‘Take What I Need.’ Very cool.” – Stephen King, author
“One of my new favorite bands.” – Dave Vanian, The Damned

She uses this to heal past traumas buried deep in the emotions of women and helps the fellas better understand their role in the experience. The goal is for the fellas to feel comfortable loving, understanding and connecting with a woman. Rather it’s his mom, aunt, niece, cousin, sister, daughter, wife, friend or partner. Jaee The Artist is deeply rooted in her feminine energy, but balances out with her masculine energy.

These impressive accomplishments underscore Steve's work ethic. At only 21 years of age Steve is just getting started - He quite literally "Can’t Go Slow."
J.D. Wilkes
Location: Paducah, Kentucky
It’s likely you have seen either one of his bands — The Legendary Shack Shakers or the Dirt Daubers — over the past two decades, J.D. Wilkes slings out a crazed, bug-eyed combination of rockabilly, hillbilly and country blues, somewhere near your hometown. Also known as Col. J.D. Wilkes, his hopped-up, caffeinated frontman status of those acts was a vehicle for his somewhat warped, generally manic and always intense aesthetic of Southern Gothic madness. - Hal Horowitz (American Songwriter)
