It’s Snakes is an indie rock quartet consisting of Hope Nicholls on vocals and standing-drums, Aaron Pitkin and Greg Walsh on dueling guitars, and Darrin Gray on bass. Their latest album, 2020’s LX, lives out loud and playfully, pulling in rockabilly twangs with “Snakes and Their Horses” and “Cricket Rider,” while inviting listeners onto the dance floor with clapping beats and stomps on tracks like “New Earbuds” and “13 ½.” 

E.Z. Shakes is the moniker for singer-songwriter and musician, Zach Seibert. Originally a stripped-back, dark-country duo consisting of Seibert on vocals and acoustic guitar and Todd T. Hicks on pedal steel guitar, E.Z. Shakes released their debut four-song EP in 2017. Adding guitarist and producer John Furr and percussionist Stanford Gardner, the group released their first full-length LP, The Wolf, in 2018. After adding bass player Jim Taylor, E.Z. Shakes released two more EPs and another studio album, The Spirit, in 2020. The band also recently released a three-song EP, Everything Changes, in November.

Neon Deaths are a dark rock band from Charlotte consisting of Ben Henry (guitars, vocals), Kyle Lisenby (drums, bass), and Jess Donahue (bass, drums).
