Come celebrate the release of Emily Bjorke's multi-genre debut album 'Are You Going To Heaven Or Hell' on its release day at Color Club in Chicago.

Hollow Bastion is the musical project of Illinois native Teagan Brey, AKA Twooba, that began as a solo venture but has since developed into a full band featuring Michael Whalen on drums and Ruben Steiner on various instruments. Harlow is a Minneapolis-based folk rock band formed in 2021. Their debut album, 'Cows Come Home', is a breezy collection that takes you where you need to go, or at least somewhere nearby. Taking on several iterations since forming, the group has settled into their most realized sound so far with their upcoming album 'Dumb Luck'. The third single 'Live Without It' is available now. The band consists of Samuel Ketcham, Desmond Lawrence, Henry Patterson, Julia Kneen, and Jonah Hatten. Toadvine! Variegated rumblings from the garage - scrappy, slippery, flecks of psychedelia. Bit of alt-country, bit of British Invasion. New album out in late 2026.

Movements are proud to announce their fourth full-length album for Fearless Records, Happier Now, with Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight, Circa Survive) once again serving as producer. The result is an album that's as expansive as it is emotional and takes Movements? signature sound to a heightened level that further establishes the band as scene statesmen. ?I think at first we weren?t really sure what the record was going to be,? vocalist Patrick Miranda admits. ?We all had a general idea: We wanted it to bring in the early elements of our sound and blend it with the newer material like [2023?s] RUCKUS! and mesh both of those sounds.? Two of the songs that came from that initial session were the album?s first two singles: The instantly infectious anthem ?Dissolve Me? and moody meditation ?Back In My Ways,? which collectively acted as sonic north stars to guide the band through the recording process.

Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+The Tubs second album, Cotton Crown, sees the Celtic Jangle boyband venture into darker, more personal territory while continuing to hone their highly addictive brand of songcraft. Its a true level up album which sees the band expand their sonic palette to take in a kaleidoscopic range of influences: everything from soulful pub rock (Chain Reaction) to Husker Du aggression (One More Day) to melancholy sophisto-pop (Narcissist) gets a look in. As Pitchfork noted, The Tubs see jangle as a vast world of moods and muses and Cotton Crown sees them continuing to explore this world and creating a distinctly Tub-ular sound in the process.

Formed in Chicago in 2015 by Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek, the band has earned a devoted following for their soulful blend of tender melancholy and radiant warmth. Their debut Light Upon the Lake introduced Whitney with the beloved single “No Woman,” earning Pitchfork’s coveted Best New Music designation and praise for its “near flawless… low-key perfectionism.” Nearly a decade later, the band continues to evolve while preserving the intimacy and spirit that made them so cherished from the start. On this run, Whitney will share new songs from Small Talk alongside fan favorites, bringing their signature mix of laid-back charm and intricate musicianship to stages across the US and Canada, with stops in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Toronto, Montreal, and more. “If you’ve ever seen Whitney live, you already know what a treasure their performances are. The Chicago-based outfit, led by the effortlessly cool Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek, has a gift for crafting songs that feel both timeless and deeply personal – sunny yet melancholic, tender yet bold.” – We Write About Music
