VIVIAN GIRLS

While a reunion record titled Memory may conjure images of a band waxing nostalgic about the halcyon days of yore, Vivian Girls’ newest record is anything but a pleasant reminiscence. The latent darkness that always haunted their records is on full display upon their return. Vivian Girls are back and they haven’t forgotten what they went through.
During their initial run as a band, Vivian Girls were a band of outsiders for outsiders. They existed in warehouses and house parties. The DIY spots, the small clubs. They were a band for the freaks, the malcontents. The ones who loved The Wipers as much as Burt Bacharach as much as The Shangri-Las. The ones who talked about astrology and politics and romance with equal passion. They were the band that made the punks feel like they could sing harmonies and pop fans could get in touch with their anger. Cassie Ramone’s lyrics alternated between love, loss and rage. They were heart-on-their-sleeves romantics in one breath and a spiraling explosion of feedback in the next. They were a band that we needed. No one wrote about all the bands that started in their wake in 2009. But let us remember: Vivian Girls not only gave us their songs; they gave us a chance to believe in ourselves.

MEVIUS

Mevius is an electronic shoegaze artist known for crafting deeply atmospheric, genre-blending soundscapes that fuse post-punk, visual kei, indie-electronic, and cinematic ambient elements. Led by producer and songwriter D.Kasshu, the project builds moody, immersive sonic worlds characterized by icy textures, dense electronics, and heavy melancholic pop undertones. Mevius frequently collaborates across the underground electronic scene—partnering with artists like Edith Pop, Socio Socio, and Blak Emoji, or releasing driving remixes with Jeremy Bastard—while cementing a signature aesthetic across evocative studio releases like “still cold inside” and “Under a Lavender Sky.”
In addition to these studio productions, Mevius translates its sweeping “electro-gaze” sound into powerful, high-energy live performances. Onstage, Kasshu transforms the project into a three-piece band alongside musicians Steph Moon and Felix Skiver. This live trio explodes with glorious, distorted walls of sound and echoing guitar textures, striking a captivating balance between intimate, hushed vocals and raw, cinematic energy that has made them a standout act in the live indie circuit, opening for a variety of international and national headliners such as Oyasumi Hologram, Orgy, Night Club, Tennis System, and more.

CLEMENTINE

Clementine is an emo/punk band from Rockford, IL. Led by vocalist Joe Altamore, the band has spent years touring across the United States, taking over DIY venues nationwide and playing festivals such as Gazed & Confused Fest and High Spirits Festival. When not on the road, they’ve supported acts including Bilmuri, Homesafe, Bearings, and Mom Rock. Fresh off their three-month-long That’s Too Long Tour, the band continues a year of extensive touring in preparation for the release of their debut album in 2027.
