Midwife
Madeline Johnston is a self taught multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer, currently based in Southern Colorado by way of Denver, where she spent the last decade developing her sound and focusing on her artistic community. Midwife began while Madeline was a resident of the beloved DIY space Rhinoceropolis in 2014. On stage, Johnston is known for her sparse, emotionally charged experimental pop music that can silence a room. On record, she produces intricate and lush sonic environments in her own little corner of the heavy music scene. She describes her sound as “Heaven Metal,” AKA emotional music about devastation. Johnston writes primarily about grief, and the many faces it can inhabit. Amulets is the solo project of Portland-based audio + visual artist Randall Taylor. Amulets employs handmade cassette tape loops and live processed guitar loops to create live, lush soundscapes and immersive drones. Through the recontextualisation of cassettes, sampling, field recording, and looping, these long-form compositions blur the genres of ambient, drone, noise, and electronic music.
Horace Green
Horace Greene is a band that has done some things. Here is one of the things they did: they released an album. Actually, they released two albums. The first album has 12 songs and it came out in 2016, it is called “Early American Ice Cream”. The second album also has 12 songs and it came out in 2018, it is called “The Diamond Engine”. Both albums came out on June 1st – crazy. There is also this other EP they released, called “Live from the Algoma Club” – its a live album – three songs. That one came out in 2020 (not on June 1st). Here is something interesting that happened after “The Diamond Engine” came out: it got over half a million streams on Spotify. Unexpected. In January of 2025, following 7 years of tireless touring, Horace Greene unveiled “Nighttime Boi” – a shimmering new single off their upcoming full-length album. This marked the start of a new chapter for the band. Exciting. By June of 2025, hot on the heels of “Nighttime Boi”, the “Summer of Cream” had begun. The definitve climax to the tour was August 15th, when the band released a nearly 7-minute single called “Cream” – a hypnotic, funk-laced voyage that cemented their flair for bold, magnetic songwriting. Creamy. Horace Greene got nominated for a WAMI award after “The Diamond Engine” came out. WAMI stands for: Wisconsin Area Music Industry. Informed. Horace Greene has done other things besides releasing music – they have played shows (performances in front of live humans/dogs). Here are some of the places in which those shows have occurred: Milwaukee’s Summer Soulstice Festival, Mile of Music, The Anderson Japanese Gardens, Ledgestone Vineyards, Tosa Tonight, and Mid West Music Fest. Horace Greene has played about 200 shows, which is a 3-digit number. Accurate. Horace Greene sometimes plays shows with other bands. Here are some of the other bands they have played with: Post Animal, Bombino, Proxima Parada, Mo Lowda and the Humble, Miles Nielson (with Rick Nielson), Laney Jones, Stay Outside, Early Eyes, and Easy Honey. Fun. Horace Greene has done music videos for three songs: “Fevers”, “Midnight Fuse”, and “Nighttime Boi”. Visual. Horace Greene has also done live music videos for three songs: “We Could Be Lovers”, “Sunflower Silo”, and “Love Me Again”. These videos provide the visual component to that “Live from the Algoma Club” EP we discussed earlier. Raw. Horace Greene does short videos too, in an effort to further destroy your attention span. “Rollin’ with Roland” is a short-form video series where the band writes, records and publishes a new beat in under 3 hours. In 2023, the Rollin’ with Roland series got so popular on Instagram that it attracted the attention of the Roland company themselves, all the way over in Osaka, Japan. This resulted in an official Instagram collaboration with them on several different videos. Global. Horace Greene does not do all things. Sometimes other people do things. Here are some of those other people, and the things they have done: Honeytone Studio recorded/mixed “The Diamond Engine”, and Gavin Lurssen mastered it. Gavin Lurssen also mastered other people’s albums, like the Foo Fighters, George Harrison, Bruno Mars, and Queens of the Stone Age. Back to Horace Greene now. Chris Gehringer mastered “Nighttime Boi”. Max Hauser filmed the “Nighttime Boi” music video and also the “Live from the Algoma Club” sessions. Nate Lehner filmed the “Midnight Fuse” music video. Casey Nelson filmed the “Fevers” music video. There are other people who did things too, they are also important. Love. Horace Greene is doing things. Horace Greene is playing shows, creating new music for a new album in 2026, making videos with an inanimate drum machine, updating this website, and chugging whole milk right from the carton. Empowered. Horace Greene will continue to do things. Futuristic.

Frail Talk
Fai Laci
“What can we do to get people off their fucking phones?” exclaims founder and frontman Luke Faillaci, explaining the mission behind Fai Laci, the band he founded and fronts. “And how can we give them something real and make them have a great time? That’s the most important thing we can do: Just communicate with our followers and let them know they fucking rule!” The Boston quintet — which also includes guitarists Anthony Cervone and Michael “Goldie” Goldblatt, bassist Cal Hamandi, and drummer Zack Putnam — have already amassed a grassroots fanbase thanks to their energetic, wildly cathartic live shows around the Northeast. They’ve seen a community coalesce around their inspired rock songs, with a quarter-million monthly followers and millions of streams despite, until recently, having no label, no publicist, and no manager. They’re proof that good tunes can still find their audience, and they’re working hard to bring others into the fold. “We’ve always been making music for ourselves, and we’re going to hold ourselves to that, because we know other people will want to hear it, too.” Fai Laci are a band with a mission, and Elephant in the Room is the ideal vehicle to achieve it. Produced by Dan Auerbach and recorded at his Easy Eye Sound Studios in Nashville, the album blends the urgency of punk and the stomp of glam with the theatricality of classic rock, all bound together by the band’s sharp swagger and Faillaci’s boundless charisma. Especially for a debut, it’s confident and surprisingly diverse, full of brazen rockers and bruised-heart ballads. The band expertly traverses the psychedelic time and tempo changes of “Cure Upon the Hill” with the same grace and nuance that they bring to “Beautifully Boring,” a dreamily bittersweet anthem about navigating your young adulthood with your sense of self intact. “We never set out to make a certain kind of sound,” says Faillaci. “It takes us wherever it takes us. We got more into the rock side of things on the album, but we also wanted to have some really beautiful songs on it. We wanted to have something for everybody.” That’s been the defining Fai Laci attitude since Faillaci founded the group. Working by himself and learning as he went along, he released two EPs and a handful of singles that he hoped might eventually make their way beyond his circle of friends. Gradually, Faillaci brought players into the band, based more on personality than chops. “It was never about adding another guitar just to have another guitar,” he says. “It was about getting the right people. I knew they’d be a good fit for the band because nobody has an ego. We’re all pretty level-headed.” Currently, all five band members live together in a house in Medford, Massachusetts, where they can jam ceaselessly and record whenever inspiration strikes. Fai Laci aren’t an explicitly political band, but they do see rock and roll as a subversive force: a battering ram for storming the castle, the glue that binds people together into a community that’s more powerful than any one person. It is, ultimately, a noble pursuit. “We’re trying to get people together so they can hang out and just talk to each other,” Faillaci explains. “So, let’s be as real as possible. Let’s keep hammering away at the stuff that makes a true difference to the people in front of us. We’ve proved on a small scale that we can do that. Now it’s just a matter of finding cool ways to do it on a larger scale.”
