Cul de Sac Kids
Robert Pollard-obsessed Gary Smith met Neighbor Steve Casker in 2017 after moving into the same cul-de-sac within days of each other. They soon bonded over a common love of beer and music. In 2020, Guided By Voices released Surrender Your Poppy Field containing the track Cul-de-Sac Kids. Shortly after, the idea of a GBV cover band of the same name was realized with Gary (Bob vox) Steve (guitar), and brothers Barry & Perry Mayer forming the rhythm section. Garage gigs led to proper gigs, and they added Textbook Committee veteran Andy Cline on guitar to form the current lineup. Fresh off their Heedfest debut in Dayton, OH last August, CdSK continue adding Pollard-penned tunes to their growing covers catalog and love bringing their garage rock energy to any GBV tribute event that comes calling.
Guided By Choices
Yes, the band name sounds eerily similar to another very well known band, and it should! Guided By Choices is the passion project of Speedfossil founder, Garret Vandermolen, and is fronted by Fireking head honcho and Magnetic Fields member, Anthony Kaczynski. Garret and Anthony both LOVE Guided By Voices, and when Garret wanted to put together a group to play all GBV material, a group in which he could also indulge his passion for playing bass, he and Anthony were kindred spirits. They also needed a drummer and two guitarists, and fortunately the other members of Speedfossil were way into the idea of playing Guided by Voices songs (with Michael Scotti taking on a role reversal, playing guitar instead of bass) and, VOILA!, Guided by Choices was born.
Bright Paper Werewolves
Echoing like a siren with endurance like the Liberty Bell, Bright Paper Werewolves are a Philadelphia-area tribute to the continuing greatness that is Guided By Voices.
Consisting of lead singer Mikey Wilcox, guitarists Matt Bilik and Scott Sonneborn, bassist John Douglas Smith, and drummer Rick Hass, they bring the hits (both popular and obscure) to the insatiable fans of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band of our time.

Dumbcharger
From the rolling hills of Tennessee, Dumbcharger is a Guided by Voices cover band bringing raucous, lo-fi indie rock to life. With The Sphinx on guitar, Smash Panda on drums, and Max Banger on bass and vocals, the group channels the spirit and sound of GBV with unfiltered passion.
Their performances are a raw, high-energy homage to one of indie rock’s most beloved acts, turning every show into a joyful, beer-fueled singalong. Dumbcharger is a must-see for fans looking to relive or discover the magic of Guided By Voices.
