Born in the winter of 1976 along side the Ramones’ first album and the Damned’s 'New Rose', Jiffy Marx has toured all over North America and Europe with a kitchen sink of bands such as Black Rice, Blood Meridian, Hard Drugs, Jiffy Marker and most recently Canadian new wave revivalists Autogramm. On hiatus from touring and while chipping away at Autogramm’s sophomore album, Marx took a weekend to visit his pals from Seattle’s Bread & Butter. Over the course of 36 hours they managed to drink a shit load of beer, eat a ton of peanut butter pretzels, and track Jiffy’s first solo 45rpm single. “She’s My Witch” b/w “Warning Sign” sounds like classic 70s more punk than Big Star and more pop than Buzzcocks.

Denver, CO’s Native Daughters have an instrumental sound that packs many of the body blows of heavy, riff-based post-metal. It also draws melodies and rhythmic tension from the cream of the mid-90s emo/post-punk crop. There are a few of the twinkly guitar leads and crushing breakdowns which are hallmarks of these divergent styles. Equal parts blunt force trauma and tension, you won’t know what hit you, but you’ll be glad that it did.

A New Lion is a place where Trevor McMorris sticks “other” songs. Over the years he’s written tunes for/with Bailer, Big Timber and Hooper, but he’s always needed another place to put the things that haven’t quite fit within the guidelines of a current project. As a multi-instrumentalist, A New Lion as a handle has become synonymous with the whimsy of a studio rat, a band geek, and a folk strummer who’s a lifelong devotee of punk rock. McMorris has Brian Wilson’s fascination with texture and arrangement, tempered by a Neil Young or Robert Pollard sense of loose creative abandon. A New Lion is where the non-classifiable of McMorris’ creative output culminates into a worthy endeavor all its own.

NIGHT BATTLES was formed in 2016 by Chris Skelly (formerly of 90’s post-hardcore band Dahlia Seed) and Charlie King, who bonded over a shared love for the primal minimalism of the Spacemen 3, The Gun Club and the early 80’s hardcore punk scene where they spent their formative years in NY and DC respectively. This synthesis became the structure of the early NIGHT BATTLES sound which eventually evolved to include a heavy dose of post-punk and psych, giving NIGHT BATTLES their now familiar swirling, reverb drenched sound. Despite their decidedly dark sonic influences, "Year of No Days" retains a strong sense of melody and hook that belies the sometimes weighty and somber themes explored within.

“Nervous Birds! One” is the debut album by Vancouver’s Night Court. Written and recorded by the band in April-July 2020, the album represents the first half of the Nervous Birds! duology and lights the fuse for Night Court’s breakout explosion onto the scene. Striking a wild balance between embracing the spirit of inspiration and abandoning the strictures of inhibition, Night Court is set loose to draw new/glue repurposed maps over the post/pop/punk/lo-fi rock landscape. Wanting to travel light, the band decided to write only good songs with no unnecessary weight, leaving concentrated grooves of distorted/indelible catchiness in their wake. Prepare yourselves.

Led by Yuzo Nieto, the (up to) twelve-piece world orchestra has evolved from an entirely free-form performance art group to the more focused psychedelic Afrobeat ensemble they are today.

Roka Hueka is a Denver-based Latin ska band which has been creating danceable beats since forming in 2014. From a Criagslist ad, singer Andy Gonzalez found bandmates including drummer Blake Pendergrass and bassist Ric Urrutia. They started out playing ska versions of popular songs and then began to write their own material, mixing in reggae, Afrobeat, hip hop, and punk to create a unique sound rooted in Latinx culture. The result today is a fun, lively, and fierce sound that keeps you moving. Though its sound is unique in its own right, Roka Hueka is perhaps best-known for their lyrics which tackle hard issues like racism and politics. The band also put their lyrics to action and founded Territorio Liberado, a Denver music festival and benefit that supports immigrant rights.

Rootbeer Richie & The Reveille are self-described as swamp pop. It's fitting, as singer/songwriter Rootbeer Richie and drummer Seth Stone hail from Louisiana originally. The rest of the band, cherry-picked from the best Denver indie acts of the last 10 years, are cool with it too. RR&TR has a lot of rhythm and a lot of soul, all filtered through a punk rock DIY approach and camaraderie that makes them instantly captivating. Find out what all of the fuss is about to be about!

This 3 piece set out to start the 90’s pop punk band that they never started in the 90’s. Taking their love for bands like Samiam, Seaweed and Hot Water Music, Shining Wires put their own spin on a beloved and familiar sound that they refused to let go of.

Signal To Trust began with Jonathon Warnberg, Pete Biasi and Dave Storberg a few months after the breakup of The Misfires, the instrumentalists’ prior band, at the turn of the century in Minneapolis, MN. They were joined on vocals by Brandon Onward (Rouse) and played their first show on April 1, 2000. In September of 2000, they recorded 11 songs with Mike Wisti at Albatross in Chicago, IL and left for a West coast tour that October. By spring 2001, Brandon had left the band and the recordings were shelved. Signal To Trust’s would-be debut album, originally slated for April 2001, has finally been released for the first time ever in April 2021. What’s 20 years when the material is this good?!?! Although Signal To Trust would go on to achieve much with different lineups for many years following that first change, the original quartet made a lasting impression. Now a world of keen ears can hear why.

S.P.E.L.L.S. Spells SPELLS (SPELLS Rules!)

SPELLS is a five-piece rock juggernaut from Denver, CO. They are vacation rock to be exact. They produce short blasts of intense melody and driving rhythms that are custom made to entertain the band members themselves and serve as an excuse to go play shows in cities that have beaches nearby. If your city’s best offers include said beach and a good breakfast joint, count them in. If the best your city can do is a punk house that smells like cat shit and a Subway restaurant inside a gas station, they will pass. (Deek Chooglin)

State Drugs is a band from Denver, CO that try their best to make catchy yet refined songs, like they would have listened to 20 years ago. Think a mixed grab bag of Knapsack, Gin blossoms, Gameface, and Smoke or Fire doused in "Curb Your Enthusiasm". Slowly birthed at the end of 2015-early 2016 from fragments of songs hibernating on a hard drive, State Drugs released 3 EP's before partnering with Snappy Little Number Quality Audio Recordings and Toxic Pop Records to release a collections LP titled "Takings and Leaving" in 2019. In 2020 the digital EP, "666, Blah, Blah, Blah", was self-released by the band and featured a more focused sound. In 2021, the band will release their new LP "Live, Laugh, Love" in partnership with Snappy Little Numbers and Ashtray Monument Records. "It’s like the Gin Blossoms if only Dave Lombardo played drums" said some drunk passerby one time.
