The Macks -

All the identity and none of the crisis! The Macks are in their own pocket. Your fifth-favorite-band’s fifth-favorite-band are hardened road warriors and goblins of their basement studio.

Virile and award-winning like a show horse, The Macks deliver a sonic-f*****g-circus and they are turning heads around the country and internationally through the airwaves and their touring roadshow.

With their latest LP release, "The Macks are a Knife," (via Devil Duck Records) The Macks have released their most poised and pungent LP as a result of their think-tank approach to producing records. Some legendary appearances at Pickathon, Treefort Fest, SXSW, Elsewhere Festival, and Lose Yr Mind have seen The Macks emerge from the PNW scene as a true 1 of 1 type band. With a lineup that has the group firing on all cylinders, both live and in the studio, The Macks have folks tuning in and spelling it right.

Monsterwatch -

MONSTERWATCH has been at the helm of the post-punk/garage scene within the Pacific Northwest for quite some time. Their exhilarating debut  EP titled 'Noise You Will Never Care About' clearly has fans caring about their music and thus begging the raucous three-piece for a full length album. Luckily for the fans, the band has promised their debut LP is coming in 2025. 

MONSTERWATCH is building an exciting repertoire through their highly captivating live shows in which each member of the raucous trio unleashes a whirlwind of catchy riffs backed by four-on-the-floor punk beats that command audiences to move, one way or the other, whether they like it or not.

Plum Vision -

Plum Vision is an all girl punk/alternative rock trio from Boise, ID, composed of Kiyah Amanie, Ella Thurston, and Megan Miller. These girls have generated a lot of well-deserved buzz across Idaho with their 2024 debut album "See U Later, Goodbye" and 2022 single "Give Girls Money". They just recently completed their 'Runaway' tour across the midwest/east coast and have played other notable Festivals such as The Underground Music Showcase in Denver and Freakout Fest in Seattle. 
 
With aggressive yet playful energy that harkens back to groups from The Runaways to Hole, Plum Vision’s sound is the best of ‘90s Seattle riot grrrl punk with a heavy dose of late ‘70s psych rock. Seamlessly balancing between sweet-voiced melodies and hard-hitting power cords, Plum Vision does not shy away from big feelings and sucker punch lyrics that cut to the bone.
