Shadow Monster is a female-fronted sadcore band saturated in angst and melodic dissonance. Gillian Visco (guitar), John Swanson (drums) and Nicole Sisti (bass), create a wall of fuzz-heavy and gritty emotional sound together, accompanied by catchy choruses and heartbreakingly relatable lyrics. Their last album Punching Bag was released in 2019 via Rochester, NY label Dadstache Records, and dealt primarily with the emotional scars of a toxic relationship, and the price that comes with losing yourself in the mess. The upcoming album Elegy adds an additional element to Visco’s songwriting as she sifts through the emotional turmoil of losing her father. Shadow Monster has a cult following in their hometown of Bushwick Brooklyn, but with this record, wish to expand to a wider audience, playing in different cities all over the country.

Toebow is a psych-pop party illustrated from the collective inner goofs of a close group of friends. The project was born in Brooklyn as a guitar duo, evolving and expanding over the years into a formidable high-energy quintet. Described by one reviewer as “a nice dose of shapeshifting, complex art pop” (Brooklyn Vegan), the music of Toebow shimmers with fluttering distorted guitar lines, colorfully layered percussion and bass, twinkling synth lines, and the occasional four part vocal harmony to tie the gentle chaos neatly together. Wacky by nature but severe in execution, Toebow "artfully straddles the border between sincerity and goofiness” (ThrdCoast) yet their songs often confront the more stoic and somber realms of human experience. 

Toebow's founding members met during a stint playing in BOBBY (formerly of Partisan records) and quickly established their sound as a unique force in the NYC indie music scene. Since their inception, the band has had members in common with Zula, Peel Dream Magazine, Dirty Projectors and ensemble, et al.
