Slacker/DIY/Indie rock from Blissfield, Michigan. Encompassing styles from garage punk to AM soft rock and touching on everything in between. 
Started as a recording project in 2014, CryFace is now known for sweaty live shows and outsider humor in addition to diverse, technicolor albums.

Violent Bloom is harmonic chamber pop from Toledo, Ohio. Originally formed by Kate Komuniecki (Yankee Ghost, Dirty Damn Band) and Kelly Thompson (Shmotel) under the name Alone Time in 2015, the group added bassist Jon Zenz (Bloodumpster, Katie’s Randy Cat, Shmotel) and officially became the Violent Bloom you know and love on Record Store Day 2016. 

2017 saw the group’s first EP in July, “Seven Sinners,” and full-length release, “Dark Minuet.” DM is a 12-track intimate powerhouse of melodic harmony; a modern experiment in chamber pop, with intensely personal lyrics.  The album was made partial in part from an Accelerator Grant from the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo.

The group’s second EP, “Not Anything,” is now available here. 
“Their specialty is subtlety. Expressive basslines weave and wave above minimalist percussive arrangements that are nevertheless effectively-swaying and pulsing; but that bass rhythm is like the sonic oreo cream, above the supportive drums but humming beneath the intricate piano and lead vocals.” — Jeff Milo, deepcutz
