Formed in 2017, Minneapolis, Minnesota indie/punk band Heart to Gold strike a chord with their swaggering, scrappy Midwest punk that prioritizes the strength of the collective over the individual. There are obvious influences from bands like The Weakerthans, American Football, Weezer, Husker Du, and more, but Heart to Gold is really doing their own thing with it and that's in part due to Grant Whiteoak, lead singer and guitarist. Both on a songwriting and a vocal delivery level, his voice and his lyrics can often times feel like two distinct instruments––and part of the band's magic is in how they're able to masterfully weave it all together. The band is singed to Will Yip's Memory Music and will release their a new LP in November 2024.

Drug Church is #1, so why try harder? Truer words have never been spoken (or emblazoned upon merch that may or may not reference a novelty shirt seen on a 1998 Fatboy Slim album cover). For over a decade, Drug Church have been building a very strong case that they’re the best loud guitar band in the game. Releasing 4 amazing LPs, including the highly acclaimed Cheer and Hygine, their fifth full-length PRUDE due out in October 2024 is a 28-minute blast of aggression, melody, irreverence, and genuine heart, proving that Drug Church is the best in the game. The album is so downright satisfying it tricks you into thinking there’s nothing all that surprising about a difficult-to-pigeonhole punk band from Albany, NY, with a name like Drug Church somehow having a career at all, much less one that would last over 10 years and qualify them as the best band going. But before you start trying to think of who might have them beat (good luck), consider what just might be the key to Drug Church’s unexpected staying power: Don’t take it too seriously. Drug Church are known for their intense vocal delivery helmed by Patrick Kindlon, crunchy hardcore groove, catchy melodies and 90s alternative hooks, that have fans stage diving and shouting along to like no other. Fans of Fiddlehead, Militarie Gun, Seaweed, The Pixies, Fugazi, Touche Amore, Hot Water Music, Anxious and so many others will all find something to love about Drug Church's unique high energy sound.
