Boyscott
Punctuating wistful, daydreamy indie rock with surfy guitar hooks, Boyscott took shape in college dorm rooms and grew into a fully formed band. The loose collective that made up the project completed their whimsically drawn 2015 debut Goose Bumps before ever playing live.
Boyscott began in 2015 as an outlet for singer/songwriter Scott Hermo's recording experiments while he was attending college in Nashville. Hermo recorded in his dorm room and sometimes enlisted friends to help flesh out his light and breezy indie tunes. Fellow schoolmates and musicians Emma Willer, Tiger Adams, John Lewandowski and Noah Miller joined him to bring a live energy to Hermo's recordings and together, the five musicians completed debut album Goose Bumps and self-released it in late 2015. When Boyscott began playing live, school commitments kept a solid lineup from forming, but Hermo enlisted a rotating cast of friends and musicians to play shows and go on tours. The band's acclaim grew organically through consistent touring and their album, which caught on in a grassroots fashion. A physical release of Goose Bumps arrived in 2019 as a joint release from Top Shelf Records and Babe City Records. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi

Small Crush
Small crush began in Logan Hammon's bedroom when she was 13 years old, writing songs on her dad's old guitar and recording covers on garageband. In her sophomore year of high school, she found some friends in jazz band class to help fulfill her dream of playing her songs in a full band. Together the band began developing their indie rock sound by getting inspired by 90s alternative and early 2000s indie. In 2019, the band released their self-titled debut album on a local Bay Area label Asian Man Records, and a second full length "Penelope" in 2023. Since then the band has supported artists like Hunny, Mom Jeans and Jeff Rosenstock out on tour. Through it all, the band has made the joy of playing music and having fun the most important thing.
