The Fourth Wall are a melodic noise rock band from Portland, OR, originally from Oahu, HI.

What is the price we pay for joy, and is it worth it? The thread of this question runs taut through The Fourth Wall’s Return Forever, a fever dream of a record that unearths unresolved complexities of the immigrant experience in nine chapters. Throughout the album, songwriter Stephen Agustin circles a fire that feels so bright and yet so unknowable; there are not many answers to be found, only a disruption, the emergence of a world seen with new eyes.

The Dumes are a rock band with members based in Portland and Los Angeles. Their 2020 debut EP “Everything is Horrible” has taken them to the iconic stages of the Troubadour, SXSW, Sundance, and countless venues across the nation. With the experience and guidance of working with GRAMMY-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, Cherry Glazerr, The Killers) under their belts, The Dumes continue to develop and hone their brand of immediate alt rock, swinging from aggressive punk to intimate indie. Their latest EP “The Dumes… in this economy?” dropped August 2023 while the band was out supporting Louise Post of Veruca Salt on a North American tour.

Helens is a Shoegaze / Dream Pop quartet based out of Portland, Oregon. After several years and EPs they have released a new album of melancholic anthems to soundtrack an escape to anywhere else but here.

The new album, Somewhere In Nowhere, was recorded in 2020 by Corey Coffman (Gleemer) and was released on November 18th, 2022. with help from Portland all-star label, Bud Tapes. Somewhere In Nowhere infuses the band's unique Shoegaze/Post-Rock/Alternative mixture with lusher melodies and more Dream Pop sensibility than previous output. The recent expansion of the lineup to a four piece with added guitar textures has also widened the band's scope which carries the listener from wistful wash to searing sonics.
