Pluck takes the best of dreamy end-of-an-indie-road-movie anthemic rock and shoegaze, and presents great tunes with a tight sound. Brock Saltsman's soaring tenor at the lead will get you to sing along, and the rock-solid guitar and rhythm will keep you coming back for more.
The Dirty Pennies: The Dirty Pennies have continued to evolve since their formation in 2012, where Ryan Klem and Lucas Howe began as a gritty psych influenced blues rock duo, which soon evolved into punk/garage rock territory with the help of then bassist Joe Mungo. Today the group takes a step deeper into the pool of psych rock with the addition of Sean Doohan on bass and Doug Kelley keys/synth. Supporting this paradigm shift is their latest single, Head Open.
Vicious Fishes: Founded in 2018, Vicious Fishes are a four-piece outfit whose swamp rock aesthetics easily tread the murky wavelengths between contemporary alternative rock and post-punk blues. At moments, their music clashes with a dense anxiety echoed in the audience's mosh pit. Haunted waltzes tremble with unresolved tension. Yet, in the angst, there’s the static buzz of an ever ringing phone call, an excitement and energy waiting to be captured.
Tracing a lineage of influence from the Clash to the Pixies, onward from the Violent Femmes to the Strokes, Vicious Fishes steady the sway of any room with their deference to the past. Romanticisms pair with wisdom though, and caustic critiques of conformity offer release from modern isolation to listeners across genres.
