The Ex-Optimists
Pop songs played with guitars plugged into amps turned up way too loud to get over a drummer who hits them too hard, hollered to be heard.

“They are simultaneously brilliant and down-to-earth, sincerely progressive and catchy as hell, that rare band that can incorporate thoughtful politics into music while keeping things fun and engaging…The Wheel Workers are freaking awesome, and [with Citizens] they’ve gone a very different direction from the path they marched down last time. And it’s good. Oh, is it good.” – Jeremy Hart, Space City Rock
LUCA
As is the case with many bands, LUCA began in an ostensibly unpresumptuous manner, a group of friends getting together to play music. After a while, the members of LUCA realized they had something special. In 2018, LUCA self-released their sophomore album You’ll Never be at Peace With This, a matured and polished album chalk full of catchy choruses and interesting guitar riffs reminiscent of the post-punk, emo sound of the early 2000s.
