Meatball Mob
Formed out of the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, the members of The Meatball Mob met while attending their local school of rock. The band name came shortly after, when they bonded over all being Italian. Initially forming to perform in the annual Tri-C High School Rock Off at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the band played their first shows to an energized crowd of hundreds of attendees inside of the historic museum. After gaining a warm reception and taking 2nd place overall in the Rock Off, the band stuck together to continue their musical journey. The Mob forged their way through the pandemic and in the summer of 2021, they released their first EP, Meatballerz, featuring 4 powerful and hooky rock tunes. They have since featured the release of their latest track, 'Meatball'; the lead single for their forthcoming sophomore EP 'Submarine', which is set for release on May 11th.

Fruitfly
Fruitfly is an emo band still trying to figure out how to write emo songs based out of Cleveland, Ohio. Combining disparate influences from emo and noise pop acts like The Brave Little Abacus and Weatherday to solo bedroom acts like Car Seat Headrest and Dayglow, Fruitfly's music pairs melancholic lyrics with intricate instrumentals to make a compelling new sound. Fruitfly began as front man Kyle Thompson's solo project in 2020 and he recorded and self-released Fruitfly's debut album Running On Fumes in July of 2021. In the time since, the project has grown into a five-piece band playing energetic sets that switch on a dime between blistering bangers and introspective ballads. The band is aiming to release their second album in late 2023.
