Ugly Flannel fans have witnessed the band’s evolution from fledgling musicians to seasoned songwriters over the course of six years. Benjamin Nguyen (Guitar) and Kate Zacharias (Bass) spout relatable lyrics about coming-of-age to crowds across the Midwest, while the band's hard-hitting timekeeper, Athen Erbter (Drums), provides the rhythmic backbone. The result is a nostalgic alternative and emo sound that falls somewhere between Toadies and The Promise Ring. Ben's songs are lackadaisical and snotty enough to fit the bill at a hardcore punk show, while Kate's bright and uplifting melodies could share the stage with fellow Grand Rapidian ska legends, Mustard Plug. Whether on record or live on stage, Ugly Flannel offers punk with an endless range of sounds and moods.

With their DIY ethos and emotional vulnerability, it’s no surprise that the band has been warmly welcomed by crowds and critics alike. West Michigan’s Local Spins dubbed Ugly Flannel as Emerging Artists To Watch, and they’ve gained support from Kill The Music, Highlight Magazine, Ste

Curly Q Bb

Lipphead is a production duo consisting of producers Blockhead and Eliot Lipp. Together they create playful instrumental hip hop creations that traverse wide musical territories.

Releasing via Michigan label Young Heavy Souls, the duo has crafted a truly individual sonic aesthetic that benefits from the significant wealth of musical talent and experience they both bring to the project.

Illustrated by artist Maddie Chaffer, the titular Lipphead character serves as the group’s mascot and as a tongue-in-cheek personification of the duo’s fused styles.

"On "The Squirrel from Ipanema", there was a subtle Astrud Gilberto vibe, so we leaned into that. Eliot took what was a fairly organic, sample-based mid-tempo track and spun it into a dope synthy electronic type thing. That process is really what this whole album is."

- Blockhead

"The Squirrel From Ipanema '' is first taste from the full length Lipphead album “In The Nude” due for release via Young Heavy Souls June 24th, and set to be available on digital, cassette, and vinyl formats.
