About Afloat
Website | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Afloat is an alternative/emo band based out of the Philadelphia/South Jersey area. The band started with Josh Rubeo and Gabby Relos meeting at Rowan University. While at Rowan they recorded the band's first EP and began booking their own shows. They focused on curating their sound, building an audience, and making themselves known throughout their area. This effort landed them an unofficial South by Southwest artist showcase in 2019. In addition Gabby also leads a local music collective, Head Above Water which has further exposed the band to greater opportunities and connections.
The recent release of “Where I Stand” marked a major step forward for the band, quickly becoming their most impactful release to date. The track resonated strongly with listeners, gaining momentum across streaming platforms and expanding the band’s audience beyond their local scene.
Now with new music on the horizon for 2026 the band plans to hit the road more and play new places and expand their network.

About Common Crime

"When Alex Leniz moved from Tampa Bay to Philadelphia in the early 2020's, he wasn't chasing a scene. He was starting over. Common Crime came out of that reset, a band built around punk roots, melodic instincts, and a need to make songs that feel like they mean something." - Martin Hayward // Bandit Signal

About Discord Theory (solo acoustic)
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Somewhere between just enough and way too much, Discord Theory blends honest introspection, raw pop punk energy, and gritty post-hardcore intensity with breakdowns designed to move the room. Formed in sunny Tampa, FL in 2017, the band is led by Ecuadorian frontman Luis Giler’s commanding vocals and subversive songwriting, alongside Anthony Rogue’s groove-heavy bass, Sydney Reinfrank’s razor-sharp guitar, and Tyler Austin’s hard-hitting drums.
Building on their relentless work ethic and adrenaline-charged performances, Discord Theory has carved out their place in the Southeast DIY scene. They’ve hit the road with other up and comers FELICITY and Hollyglen, shared stages with genre staples like Bayside, Hail The Sun, and Geese, and lit up festivals including Gasparilla Music Fest and Treefort Fest.
Their 2018 debut EP Alas introduced their sound with standout tracks like “What I Do Best” and “Tidal Wave.” They followed it up with singles like “Flashpoint!,” “Stranded,” and “Breaking the Wheel,” plus an emo-tinged cover of Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy,” each pushing their emotionally charged, genre-blending style into bolder territory.
In 2023, Eight Ways From Dire Straits marked a major leap forward. Produced by Lee Dyess (Mayday Parade, From First To Last, Against Me!), the full-length album weaves a nautical atmosphere with post-emo tones, anthemic indie flair, and adventurous progressive ambition. Tracks like “Cabin Fever” and “Call of Destiny” shift between crushing unfiltered passion and soaring hooks, while “Let Me In” features swancore favorite Andrés, adding a layer of melodic elegance that pushes the track into standout territory. With a dynamic tracklist and bold artistic vision, the album firmly established Discord Theory as a must-watch act in the alternative scene.
Their newest single, “Letter From Atlas,” combines polished pop sensibilities with sincere storytelling, navigating the turmoil of uncertainty while ultimately finding solace in unconditional love.
Known for high-energy shows packed with unforgettable moments that stay with you long after the final chord, Discord Theory’s dedicated “DTFam” continues to grow as new music and tours are on the horizon.
