Since their inception in early 2018, Bermuda Search Party (formerly known as The Q-Tip Bandits) have emerged into the Boston music scene as an energetic and vibrant act that continues to touch audienceʼs hearts while getting them up on their feet. Their smooth yet powerful sound is backed by the raw energy of rock and the coolness and colors of R&B and funk — with palpable grooves coated with savory, soul-inspired riffs, anthemic horns and meaningful lyrics. After a pandemic of writing and recording, the band released their self-produced debut LP, Melancholy Flowers, in 2022. Melancholy Flowers features the vocal stylings and songwriting of both guitarist Leo Son and bassist Claire Davis, and smooth and soaring trumpet and trombone from Maclin Tucker and Hoyt Parquet. The band toured in support of the record throughout the year, culminating in four Boston Music Awards nominations, for Live and Pop Act of the Year, Song of the Year for “Daisy,” and Album of the Year. In 2023, the band played stages across the country, touring the South and the Midwest and hitting festivals along the way including SXSW, Levitate Music Festival, and Boston Calling. In September, the band returned to the studio to record their sophomore LP with Eric Palmquist, known for his work with half•alive, Tate McRae, and Bad Suns. With singles coming in 2024, the record is a departure from the bandʼs previous work, putting a pop spin on their signature horn-driven indie rock sound.

Similar Kind is an indie pop band from Norwalk, CT. It originated as just a few friends jamming in a garage and has blossomed into a five piece band playing shows all over the US. Similar Kind has played with acts such as Sunflower Bean, Bad Bad Hats, Hot Flash Heat Wave, No Vacation, and more. The band is currently working on a follow up EP to their debut Faces & Places,a project chock-full of indie pop, reminiscent of The Cure and Talking Heads, described as dance-ready synth-pop. Equal parts R&B pop and indie rock, the EP is a highly-polished, thoroughly-confident release. The band has a pair of new singles, I Donʼt Wanna Fight AnymoreandThere She Wasas their latest releases.

Gloss, a Philadelphia-based pop fusion band formed in 2019, comprises the dynamic talents of Isabella Amada (bass), Corinne Kite-Dean (guitar), Mollie Schechter (drums), and Sophia Grosshauser (vocals/keys/aux percussion). Emerging from a desire to address the gender gap in music at the University of the Arts, Mollie and Sophia initiated the formation in 2019. Drawing influences from jazz, synth pop, funk, Latin, and more, Gloss's sound defies easy categorization. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Gloss persisted in creating music, releasing their first EP with remote collaborations. Their momentum accelerated after landing notable gigs, including opening for Pom Pom Squad and Fleece. The band's second EP, "Are You Okay?," sold out its release show in less than a week, marking a significant milestone. With a growing fan base and a commitment to reinventing their discography, Gloss signed with management, Elton Audio, in 2023, signaling a new era of dedication and creativity for the band.
