37 Houses

Suddenly locked down during the pandemic only four months into their marriage, Jeremy Rosenblum and Erin Sydney founded the post-punk/indie-pop project 37 Houses to express the frustrations that come with the complications and difficulties of even the best of relationships.

With Rosenblum writing songs and Sydney lending her voice to the vocals, they recorded their debut self-titled album entirely in their own living room. The album, released November 2024, draws influence from artists ranging from post-punk greats like Sharon Van Etten and indie pop artists like Built to Spill, Pulp, and Modest Mouse.

Dear Daria

What do a goth kid, an indie rocker, a vinyl addict, and a Beatlemaniac have in common? Apparently, a lot of Wayne’s World jokes.

Dear Daria is composed of Washington, DC music veterans Maryjo Mattea, Joshua Hunter, Eamonn Donnelly, and Dan ABH. The band writes storyteller songs about angst, love, social commentary, mental health, and a longing for the world to be the kind of safe and accepting place we all wished we lived in. Their spirit is informed by a post-modern mosaic of cultural references. Musically, Dear Daria is a brightly-colored swirl of power pop, indie rock, alt-rock, and pop punk. Frontwoman Maryjo Mattea says “it's like if Lennon and McCartney grew up in the 90s”.
