BAY FACTION

Born out of an online message board, Bay Faction emerged in the Boston DIY scene in 2015 with the debut of their self-titled record. It was the first release on Counter Intuitive Records with the band's album pressed on highly coveted vinyl. Following its release, Bay Faction spent 2 years rigorously touring nationwide, developing a cult-like following. After graduation, the band relocated to New York, and camped out in a suburban New Jersey basement to write and record their sophomore record Florida Guilt. The record marked a departure from their earlier style, trading in a conventional rock setup for sampled drums, synths, and vocal processing, embodying the ethos they had long sought to define. Highsnobiety named Bay Faction as "your favorite band you haven't heard of yet" and nationwide touring ensued to promote their album. On the heels of the pandemic, Bay Faction bid farewell with the release of Swan Dive, their final song before entering hiatus. Now, in 2024, the band relaunched with a sold out tour and release of new singles Drive Home, Eye Sore, and Sunshine, from their highly anticipated forthcoming EP.

GLOOM EAST

Gloom East, an Indie-Rock/Alternative duo based in Philadelphia, is the next upcoming duo that is ready to break the barriers of their sound, redefining the norms of what it means to be an indie duo, and constantly evolving with their music.Just over a year ago, Angie and Zaia, the two group members, decided to drop out of college and move to a completely new city to focus on music full-time. The duo knew they were taking a risk, living comfortably at home in Miami, but decided to drop out, move up East, and pursue music full-time.The move is shown in their music, as they've previously released only demos and unfinished songs online. Now they've released an EP, 'there's no place like home,' that completely shows the juxtaposition and reflection of their decisions to move somewhere new, and facing their fears of establishing themselves as artists.
