Artist Picks – March / April

FATHER MOUNTAIN
Alt-Rock
Owensboro, Kentucky

Kentucky quintet Father Mountain blesses our ears with moody, ethereal alt-rock that has the power to move both your deepest wells of emotions as well as your body. Equally energetic as they are affecting, their brand of rock blends underground indie-rock, folk, 90s power-pop and a tinge of emo. Fresh off back-to-back North American tours and kicking off spring touring again throughout the southern United States with a stop at SXSW; we’d be surprised if you don’t see them hitting up your town and painting it ‘Grey’.

 

JETTY BONES

Pop-Rock
Columbus, Ohio

JETTY BONES shakes up the pop-rock scene two-fold with their catchy folk, pop and rock mixture. They’ve already kicked off a busy year touring and opening up for Tiny Moving Parts and will embark on a spring tour with pop-punk powerhouses Knuckle Puck and Boston Manor. The female-fronted group shows no signs of slowing down and will undoubtedly spend the rest of the year spreading their woeful yet hope-filled lyrics and addicting, upbeat dance-rock vibes to gratified audiences everywhere.

 

THE WILDHOOD
Pop-Punk/Alt-Rock
Niagara Falls, Ontario

Melding elements of early 2000s alt-rock and millennial pop-punk, The Wildhood sparks a full nostalgia overdose into its listeners. Matched with a lyrical repertoire bursting with yearning and the enchantment of youth, the Canadian quintet captures both the pains and the pleasures of being young and free. Kicking off 2018 in the studio with new material set to be released early this year, we’re fully expecting The Wildhood to fuel that momentum and make this their year.

 

GRANDSON

Hip-Hop/Rock
Toronto, Ontario

Political rap-rock at its absolute finest – pulling plenty of inspiration from our problematic systems, grandson splatters his gripping poetry against a backdrop of potent vibes, throwing fuel on the fire of societal change. Like a new-day Zack de la Rocha, grandson melds his coarse, piping vocals with raw aggression and creates a soundtrack perfect for a global riot. With the world thrust into a constant fight for long-awaited change, we’ll sure be hearing plenty of new material from the up-and-comer, as he continues to make a mark in the industry and stir the political pot.
