CARING LESS - EP RELEASE

Caring Less is an up-and-coming indie band from Philadelphia. Compared to the likes of Jeff Buckley, Alanis Morrisette, and PJ Harvey, Caring Less continues to develop a soulful 90s rock and roll sound on their new EP, which will drop May of 2025. Caring Less has been working hard and driving towards becoming a staple in the local scene, and on top of that, they’re now pushing towards spending more time out on the road.

SOFT NO
There is no shortcut to the magic of a band of life-long musicians with a shared history, no easy way to duplicate those creative years spent absorbing and sweating out the changing tides of a rich local music scene. Soft No, the debut EP from the Philadelphia-based project of the same name, is a record that brims with the life and talent of Scott Signorino, Allie Lannutti, Austin Lotz, Jon Martello, and Kate Lowe; five artists who spent a significant part of their lives sharing bills, sharing bands, sharing high school classes with one another’s siblings, and living across from each other as children. Such threads weave on and on and similarly, Soft No’s songwriting process is complex and interwoven, with many of its members playing instruments that were previously unfamiliar to them and writing together in ways that allow each of them an avenue for expression previously unexplored.

HONEYTHUNDER

Honeythunder is a brown girl fronted, all-queer 4-piece band based out of Philly, bringing indie rock with a punk rock sensibility that punches above its weight class. Honeythunder is made up of Kat Bakrania (she/her; bass and vox), Dan McKeon (they/them; guitar), Bel Furman (she/they; guitar), and Izzy Ross (they/them ; drums). Having now released an album (“It’s All Crashing,” 2023) and EP (“Tailspin,” 2024), Honeythunder is entering a new, more experimental phase with their writing, leaning into desert rock and surf rock influences. New music coming soon!
