Copilot is a dynamically fun Rock-Pop band from Boston, MA that was formed in 2018. Maggie Quealy, Ry McDonald, Jake Machell, Dylan Allwine, Austin Beveridge, and Jack Snow met between High School/College in Massachusetts and Vermont, often crossing paths while performing in their own musical projects. After coming together for an unplanned house party performance, the group decided to team up and ride together.

The powerful triage of singers drive the band’s sound. Maggie, Ry, & Jake’s unique voices create a blend of harmonies with depth & character that propels an electric live performance. The always oscillating 3 lead singers allow Copilot to travel all over the emotional spectrum, creating a myriad of musical ideas. The group's sound is centered by the rhythm section of Bev (bass), Dylan (drums) and lead guitarist, Jack Snow. The backing trio provides Copilot with an upbeat bounce & steady groove that locks in the band’s signature retro Rock-Pop style.

Alasdair MacKenzie, Chris Haley, and Liz Kantor formed Hush Club after finding each other in college. Now, they are based in Somerville, MA, making lush, melodic, and propulsive indie rock that examines the nuances of our shared human experience. Under the Radar describes Hush Club as “explor[ing] spaces ranging from intimate to celestial, evoking honest confessions and wide expanses.” Their latest single, “Movie,” has lyrics that might make you cry if you weren’t too busy dancing to it.

In 2024, Hush Club sold out a headlining show at Boston’s Brighton Music Hall. The band has been featured twice in and been nominated twice for the Boston Music Awards (Album/EP of the Year and Folk Artist of the Year). Hush Club has opened for national and international touring acts including Will Leet, French Cassettes, Hermitage Green, Michael Seyer, and Wabie, and the band’s debut album Fingerprints & Stains was praised by Glide Magazine, Vanyaland, and Boston Hassle, in addition to the Under the Radar writeup quoted above. Fingerprints & Stains also received extensive airplay on college radio, charting as the #5 debut on the NACC 200 in its first week and staying on the chart for three weeks.
