Drype is a Portuguese rock band formed in Ermesinde, Oporto, in 2010 by Marcos Levy (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Pedro Eloi (drums) and Aires Meneses (bass guitar, backing vocals). 

The three piece band was formed after the disbandment of N'’cript, an Oporto grunge project. After that, Marcos and Pedro decided to go a different way and went on to form a new band with the temporary name ‘Infectious Greed' that would be later named ‘Drype’, a fusion of many music genres, including alternative rock, heavy metal, grunge and progressive rock. 

Drype began as a four piece band when Marcos Levy, former bass guitar on N'cript, changed to lead vocals, guitar and piano. Aires Meneses joined the band to fill the spot left on the bass guitar and Pedro Eloi stood on the drums. The 4th member, who would later leave the band, was Ricardo Gomes on guitar. With a locked up formation, original songs are made and performed live in the Oporto area. 

Since then the band has developed a solid path performing in distinguished Portuguese venues across the country, winning also a national contest to play in ‘Festival Secundário’ (Gouveia). 

In 2010, Marcos, Pedro and Aires, currently 20, 21 and 24 years old, recorded the first EP produced by Marcos Levy. 'Drype Ep' contained 4 songs of the band setlist and culminated into Drype's original sound, having received huge positive feedback.

'SOUVENIRS VOL.1' OUT NOW!

Debuting in 2018, Paper Jackets are an Alt-pop band from Los Angeles whose powerful vocals and unique melodic palette paint well outside the norms of alternative music. Performing alongside acts such as X Ambassadors, Jimmy Eat World, and Bishop Briggs, Paper Jackets steal the hearts of the audience with their high energy and spirited show.  Faint from touring and wild nights recording with tight knit producers, the band weaves together an emotive sound encapsulated on their latest release 'Souvenirs, Vol. 2'.  More like a mixtape lost in 2020, the album reveals a hidden vault of song treasures including "Bones" and "Bad Company" among the first singles released.

The alternative rock duo first came into the spotlight with the mainstream success of their single The Kill from their second album A Beautiful Lie, and have since sold over 15 million albums worldwide and recorded over two billion streams online to date. Thirty Seconds to Mars, comprised of Jared Leto and Shannon Leto, is known for their experimental progressive rock sounds, fusing elements from a wide variety of genres to create anthemic hits like From Yesterday as well as Kings and Queens.

The band has clinched Best International Band three times at the Kerrang! Awards and won nine times at the MTV Europe Music Awards. They have also been nominated at the Billboard Music Awards, taking home the Modern Rock Artist of the Year award in 2007.
