Riley!
RILEY!: When you hear Midwest Emo, the first region that comes to mind is obviously South Texas, and Riley! reigns supreme in bringing a certain tongue-in-cheek sincerity to the genre.
The emo pop trifecta from Texas has no qualms seamlessly weaving together jokes and heartfelt lyrics under jangly guitars and walking bass lines creating a sonic experience that leaves listeners feeling at incredibly at home.
Releasing their debut LP to resounding success in 2018 and a cover of American Football’s ‘Never Meant’ in 2019 as well as another EP, Riley! Hit the ground running touring on the songs all throughout the south and Midwest.
After dropping LP2 ‘Already Fucked’ in 2021 and touring to a number of fests with Ben Quad in the US and even touring the UK for 2 weeks, the 3 piece is in the works for LP3 and hitting the road hard in 2023 to support it.
Seaholm
A 3-piece punk/ emo band from Detroit, Michigan. Still fresh off their 2022 release "It's Raining Outside" which includes familiar feels such as Motion City Soundtrack all the way to Jimmy Eat World. When it comes to a live performance Seaholm brings an energy that could only be described as an Adult Swim comedy skit of live music. Come get silly with your Seaholmies.
