Deeply inspired by the New York Sound, Venlo creates music that proves to be honest, raw and melodic, evoking the very sound of the city.

Made up of Ryan Bergman (vocals), Marcello “Chello” Iaboni (guitar), Aaron Kudla (guitar), Johnny “Hodge” Hodgkinson (bass) and Joey Rizzo (drums), the band formed through street skateboarding and high school, garnering an immediate connection with each other. 

Inspired by classic New York acts such as Lou Reed, The Ramones, Velvet Underground, and The Strokes to name a few; Venlo also recalls acts such as Iggy Pop, The Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, and Jesus and Mary Chain as notable influences. 

Touching upon subjects like the struggles of the working class, foolish romance, addiction, self-destructiveness and at times over the top sexuality, frontman Bergman draws lyrics mainly from his poetry. Bergman’s vocal style is punchy yet casual, as it blends with Kudla’s and Iaboni’s contrasting clean and gritty guitars. With the addition of Rizzo’s straight ahead approach and Hodge’s melodic bass work, Venlo creates a sound that is familiar yet unique. The band approaches their writing process as a collaborative effort, with each member bringing something different to the table. The result is prominent within every track, which also carries into their energetic live shows.

Venlo has released In a World of Black and White (2010), What Do You Know (2011), Forever Lost (2012), and most recently Yesterday’s News (2014).


Sleater-Kinney first emerged from Olympia, WA in 1994. The group’s 1997 landmark album, Dig Me Out, earned a spot on Rolling Stone’s “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” During 2015, they returned from a decade-long hiatus with the triumphant No Cities To Love, which closed out 2015 on dozens of year-end lists, reaching #1 for The Daily Beast and The Skinny. In 2019, they teamed up with St. Vincent to produce The Center Won’t Hold followed by a North American and European tour with multiple sold-out dates. Path of Wellness, their tenth studio and first self-produced album was released last year before embarking on a summer co-headlining tour with Wilco that included iconic venues such as Red Rocks, Merriweather Post Pavilion, and more. To commemorate 25 years of their iconic record, Dig Me Out, the band gathered artists across genres to reimagine the 13 original tracks. Artists include Courtney Barnett, St. Vincent, Wilco, The Linda Lindas, NNAMDÏ, Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires, and more. Their most recent record to date, Dig Me In: A Dig Me Out Covers Album was released on October 21, 2022.

Two musicians with very different backgrounds, one microphone and loads of pint-sized synthesisers. Olga (vocals, synths) is a classically trained vocalist who abhors opera, Daniel (synths, drum machines) is a virtuoso of keyboards who distrusts pop. Their songs meet halfway through.
They have been playing together since 2007 and in 2008 they released their self-titled début album.

New album is going to be released soon! :)

It is a psych tribal dream folk themed album with songs shifting moods in one direction or another.

If you can dig the said artists above it is likely that you will enjoy the pulsating vibes of Mr. Tuttle's Dream Collector!

Founded by singer Tara Jane, Los Angeles femme-fronted Blood Candy incorporates dreamy sanguine vocals over noisy reverb-drenched guitars with tempo changes and haunting melodies that form a wall of sound a la Black Tambourine, The Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. 
Their album entitled, "Dead Moon" was released by Buddyhead Records in August of 2015. The Deli Mag, called it a "blend of fuzz and reverb that mingles like lovers' sweat and cigarette smoke —" They have worked with producer Joe Cardamone of the Icarus Line, graced LA's Part Time Punks and were named one of the, "13 Los Angeles Artists and Bands to Watch" by Grimy Goods. Their modern take on 90's shoegaze is best described as a soundtrack for heartbroken slow dancing and drug-fueled make out sessions.
