New York's Lost Boy ? is the project of Long Island native Davey Jones, whose affinity for all genres found an enthusiastic audience thanks to releases like 2011's USA USA and 2015's Canned.

Starting off as a bedroom recording project in the late 2000s, Jones worked fast and with cheap equipment, spending his formative musical years cranking out songs and self-releasing singles, cassettes, and CDs to increasing acclaim. His 2011 release USA USA garnered some good notices in the press and he began touring more, using a rotating collection of musicians. In 2012, Jones joined the band Baked as guitarist, a move that slowed down Lost Boy ?'s output a little. In 2014, the Wasted EP was released by the Exploding in Sound label. By this time Jones had made Lost Boy ? a real band, adding Ryan Foster on guitar, RJ Gordon on bass, and Matt Gaffney on drums. This lineup recorded the Canned LP which saw release in early 2015 via the PaperCup label. Jones followed up a year later with another solo Lost Boy ? effort, Goose Wazoo, this time working with Little Dickman Records. Recorded with Shea Stadium co-founder Adam Reich, 2018's Paranoid Fiction took influences from the gritty rock and punk scene histories of New York and Los Angeles. In late 2020 two records were released in collaboration with Jeremy Aquilino (of Baked and Time Vampire) entitled "Vampire Boy ?" and "Canal St.".  - Tim Sendra

Relaxer is an Akron, Ohio based rock band comprised from past members of The Party of Helicopters, Cotton Jones, White Pines, Teeth of the Hydra, Sofa King Killer, Royal Bangs and Drummer (featuring Pat Carney of the Black Keys). Playing complex, guitar-driven progressive compositions, they’ve shared stages with a wide range of bands including the Shins, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Retribution Gospel Choir, and EYE.

Relaxer went into the studio in January of 2013 with producer/engineer Chris Koltay (renowned for his work with My Morning Jacket, Swans, and Deerhunter) to record their first full-length album titled Lasers. The album was recorded live over the course of a week at High Bias Studio in Detroit and mixed throughout the summer. It was then meticulously mastered at Timeless Mastering by Heba Kadry, whose resume includes The Mars Volta, Wooden Ships, and The Sea & Cake. The end result is 5 song full length which is both a visceral and progressive sonic journey clocking in at just under 50 minutes.
