LOCAL HONEYMOON
Local Honeymoon is an indie rock band from South Philadelphia. They play catchy, punk-tinged songs for fans of the Wonder Years and the Menzingers while dressing like dads on vacation. Although their songs are influenced by punk and emo, their live shows embrace a tongue-in-cheek Jimmy Buffett aesthetic, where band and audience alike dress up in Hawaiian shirts to sing along to songs about heartbreak and the miserable state of the world.
HIT LIKE A GIRL
Queer heartache is a unique experience, and one that Hit Like a Girl knows well. Drawing influence from pop, emo, indie and even hardcore, the band channels yearning, love and loss into intimate yet catchy music that may resonate with fans of Tigers Jaw, Future Teens, or Indigo De Souza.
Hit Like a Girl is the songwriting project of Nicolle Maroulis (they/them), joined by a rotating live lineup that now features Mol White (they/them) on synth and backing vocals, Mike Davis (he/they) on drums, Nat Lopatine (they/them) on bass, and rotating members on guitar.
Hit Like a Girl strives to represent trans and queer artists, and inspire them to follow their creative pursuits. In 2016 Maroulis founded No More Dysphoria, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created with the goal of helping transgender individuals pay for major aspects of their transition.
Maroulis is a masterful and prolific songwriter. In the eight years since Hit Like a Girl’s inception in 2017, Maroulis has released 4 full length records (You Make Sense (2017), What Makes Love Last (2018), Heart Racer (2021)) and one EP (Becoming (2022)). The band has performed alongside the likes of Mom Jeans, Kississippi, Origami Angel, Pool Kids, and Prince Daddy and the Hyena, and has toured with acts including John-Allison Weiss and The Iron Roses.
ELEPHANT JAKE
Elephant Jake is a band based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Originally based in New York, the band consists of Colin Harrison, Sal Fratto, Andrew Demarest and Carson Hyde. The band formed in late 2014, and the next year saw the release of their debut EP. Since then, the band has kept a busy show schedule and have released 3 full length albums, an EP, a Split EP, and their two newest singles, “Give Flight” and “Sustain.” ‘98 releases 5/1/26.
