Buko Boys

“Buko" meaning "coconut" in Tagalog, encapsulates the vibe of this sun-kissed group hailing from Miami, FL with roots from the Philippines. Steeped in anime-inspired themes, they coined their one-of-a-kind sound as “alt-rock/R&B.” They continue to tour nationally, riding their internet success, while making waves in the thriving South Florida music scene.

The Montaines

The Montaines are a Washington DC–based four-piece built around emotionally charged songwriting, infectious guitar work, and an increasingly ambitious live show. “With pumping drums that project smooth layers of electric guitars, The Montaines build contemporary alt-pop tinged with just the right amount of nostalgia.” (Ella Ehrhard, Pleaser). Drawing from the emotional weight and sonic ambition of artists including The 1975, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, and The National, The Montaines continue to develop a sound that sits between modern indie rock and the city's long tradition of boundary-pushing guitar music.
