The Flying Grey Suns are an up and coming DIY punk band out of Cleveland, OH. Spitting lo-fi flavored garage rock inspired by 1960s psychedelic and surf rock, they craft raw, high energy tracks that capture a vintage yet rebellious spirit. Staying true to their DIY ethos, they self record and produce their music, embracing an unpolished, underground sound. With infectious riffs and rambunctious live shows, they’re carving out their own space in the modern garage punk scene.

Hailing from Northeast, OH, Wednesday Demonstration pride themselves on high-energy music and live shows. Their motto is "Punk rock, power chords, and protest songs."
Singer/guitarist Chris Dum, a college professor, founded the band in 2022. Wednesday Demonstration is the result of a childhood spent listening to Green Day and Peter, Paul, & Mary, while watching his parents protest against nuclear weapons and the School of Americas. Joining Chris are Dave on guitar, Alex on backing vocals, Liam on bass, and Freja on drums.
Wednesday Demonstration has played over 100 shows, including multiple local festivals, benefit shows, and has opened for touring label acts such as Keep Flying, Joystick, Grumpster, and Blind Adam and the Federal League. They have also donated over $400 from merch sales back to their community.
Box Elder's self-titled debut LP marks a profound evolution for the Salt Lake City project. What began as Chris Archuleta's solo bedroom endeavor during the isolation of Covid has blossomed into a full-band collaboration that captures the raw emotional landscape of personal struggle and growth.
Across these tracks, Box Elder explores the turbulent territory of mental health, charting the ebbs and flows of anxiety, the ache of love lost, and the persistent fear of never quite finding where you belong. These songs are born from four years of experiences, transformed into anthems of vulnerability and resilience.
This is the first Box Elder album shaped by the creative input of each member, bringing new dimensions to Archuleta's songwriting. The result is a sound that channels the melodic urgency of The Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World while carving out distinctly personal terrain. Recorded by Archuleta himself (his first major self-production undertaking), the album balances raw intimacy with polish that honors the emotional weight of these songs.
The striking cover artwork by Stella Vickland-Davis features mannequin pieces controlled by box elder bugs, a visual metaphor that perfectly captures the album's themes of agency, transformation, and the small forces that guide us through uncertain times.
For fifteen years of making music, this LP represents Archuleta's most complete artistic statement and a powerful new chapter for Box Elder.
Hooks for Feet came together during the first summer of the pandemic out of a shared love of 80's punk, 90's alternative and a desire to repeal the Volstead Act. Once they discovered that prohibition had been repealed 90 years ago, the group decided to focus all of their attention on rock and roll.
On their debut EP, Meanwhile, the band combines their rock influences like the Pixies and Jawbreaker, adds a dash of intellect, a pinch of James Brown and launches their four-song opening salvo against... Well, whattya got?
