Jason Scavone is a singer-songwriter and record producer from Charlotte, North Carolina, and the former frontman of the band The Noises 10. Scavone has recorded with and mentored under producer Eric Valentine (Taking Back Sunday, Nickel Creek, Third Eye Blind), performing with such acts as Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Derek Trucks Band, and 30 Seconds To Mars.

Scavone released his new album, Catastrophic Dreams, on February 10, 2023. The self-produced album (mixed at Wilco’s Chicago studio by Tom Schick and mastered by Bob Ludwig) was written during the midst of the pandemic as Scavone re-evaluated his relationship with music.

Faye is a pop-punk trio, fronted by Sarah Blumenthal on bass and Susan Plante on guitar while newcomer Thomas Berkau backs up the duo on drums. The band filters their sound through ‘90s indie rock aesthetics, all while taking on different themes for each of their songs, whether that is leaving the dead in peace with “Ancient Bones,” or just an unexcited day in the life on “Chow Chow,” both tracks from their self-titled EP. Their latest single, “Dream Punches,” uses insomnia as a catalyst for the writing and direction, with each band member thrashing on their respective instrument. Faye’s new album, You’re Better, was released on August 12 through Self Aware Records.

It’s Snakes are 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.”
