Caelan Burris has a landscape for a voice. A landscape smattered with rocky hills, empty Steel Reserve bottles, and dense Western Carolina forests. A landscape populated by what became of the kids who played Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Game Boy Advance, burnt out cruel rural soccer cliques, and a healthy dose of classic Appalachian hicks. “How Could I Be So In Debt?” takes the living world trapped within Burris’ voice and expands it into a statement. Tombstone Poetry constructs dynamic and distinct auditory images of that world- intentionally and meticulously assembling a blown out sonic diorama with a remarkable level of skill. Strikingly honest and unabashedly of its place, Tombstone Poetry’s long-awaited full length is something to behold.
 
The Coke Dares is a midwest-bred power pop trio who specialize in fast, fun, catchy, garage-y cerebral rock n roll. If the personal is political then vote thrice. The frenetic live set blazes with songs about chasing rats, American histories, booze and odes to food and even the agrarian myth…all set to melodic, lysergic-leaning, garage-ripping tunes. Guitar, drums and bass. Bang em out. Three part harmonies – OK they do that. 30 songs in and we want more. Featuring members from The Impossible Shapes, Songs: Ohia, Magnolia Electric Co, John Wilkes Booze, Honey Radar, Panoply Academy, Sufferin’ Fools.
 
Melaina Kol is a recording project based in Nashville Tennessee that utilizes sampling and interlocking guitar melodies. They released their latest LP “Roach Friends” on Julia’s War Records in 2022. 
 
Vyva Melinkolya is the music of Angel Diaz – a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter originally from Louisville, Kentucky and now based out of Pittsburgh, PA – whose musical style pulls from a consistently melancholic palette of dark slowcore, shoegaze and ambient. In 2023 she released two LPs, “Unbecoming” and a collaborative effort with Midwife “Orbweaving”.
