The Devil’s Twins:
Most bands adopt the “devil” moniker. The Devil’s Twins came into it in a more traditional sense - not through evil or the occult, but simply because the Devil is their dad.
Gripped by the Devil’s music at a young age, Nicole Marie and Jeremiah John, aka The Devil’s Twins, took a liking to their dad's stash of blues, jazz, soul, and rock’n’roll records.
Entranced by the sounds of Billie Holiday, Robert Johnson, and AC/DC, the Twins pined at the prospect of following in their footsteps. Souls in tow, they went to their dad for help - but despite their plea, he refused to sign them, claiming a “conflict of interest.”
Facing dad’s refusal, The Twins spent the next 10 years spreading their own gospel. Best described as noir-punk, they were tearing up stages in the Boston underground scene with fiery performances alongside the likes of Slash, Slaine, July Talk, Local H, and Misfits.
With 11 Boston Music Awards nominations, and 2 wins that include Rock Artist of the Year, it’s no surprise they developed a cult of followers dubbed the “2crew” due to their matching “2” tattoos taken from the band’s logo. And that’s why, at last, Dad decided 2022 was the year the Twins had earned their horns.
Joined now by Aitan Ben-Joseph on saxophone and Eric Ortiz on trumpet, the Twins announced their 3rd full-length album, aptly titled HORNS will be released on vinyl, CD, and cassette with a street date of February 2023. Stream the debut single “ANGER ROOM” on Spotify Friday, July 22nd.
Tiny Stills:
Tiny Stills is a fifth wave emo rock band from Los Angeles, California made up of real life friends who actually like each other; Kailynn West, Chris Clark, Mike Diggs, AJ Peacox. You can call us Bubblegrunge, but in our hearts we know the only genre title that resonates with us truly: vomit pop.
After a last minute lineup change left an opening on a national tour with Bayside’s Anthony Raneri in 2015, front woman Kailynn West stepped in at the last minute to complete the acoustic tour as Tiny Stills. The project has since gone on to release their self produced second full length record, "Laughing into the Void," after successfully raising 19k on Kickstarter in 2017, as well as two self produced EPs on Wiretap Records recorded by Paul Miner (Death By Stereo). They've solidified themselves in the So-Cal music scene by opening for acts like Motion City Soundtrack, Anthony Raneri (Bayside), Andy Jackson (Hot Rod Circuit), Reggie and the Full Effect, The Smoking Popes, and Letters to Cleo. After years of honing their bittersweet emulsion of pop punk and emo with toothy lyrics, crunchy guitars and catchy melodies, one message still resonates loud and clear - even the worst days have a silver lining, at least you're not alone.
Senseless Optimism:
Senseless Optimism, the vessel for international artist Brittany, is quickly redefining the role of the singer/songwriter in the modern era. Her international perspective and deeply insightful lyricism have already made her a fan favorite in her hometown of Lowell, MA. Now, with the release of her most accomplished music to date, Senseless Optimism is on the verge of a national breakthrough.
Born in Lowell, MA, Brittany spent much of her childhood in Malawi and Sri Lanka. Mixing a love of classic rock with a strong devotion to the unique cultures of these countries, Brittany brings an entirely new perspective to the indie genre. Her diary-like songs are intricately composed, influenced by everything from Led Zeppelin to Fela Kuti. Above all, her music is infinitely inspirational, reflecting her personal motto - “It Gets Better.”
Brittany is already an underground icon in her native Massachusetts, with several Boston Music Award nominations to her name. Despite the accolades, however, it is her devotion to her roots that makes her so special. With a stream of new content expected for 2022 and beyond, Brittany is poised to take her rightful place as one of this generation’s most vital young voices.
