Barcelona
Brian Fennell, Rhett Stonelake, and Branden Cate.
-From Seattle, Washington. 
-The Seattle-based trio Barcelona makes soulfully sultry rock seeped in synth wash and falsetto that could score the soundtrack to late night necking seshs and uncouth after-hours adventures. Perhaps Barcelona is the soundscape to white blazers and mirrored tables, the sleek sound of questionable decisions that you won't regret later.

It's a new direction for an established band who were once signed to Universal Records, where they became well-known for melodic, piano-based indie ballads. Now, their evolution continues, as they chart a distinct course with a new vision. "Sonically and visually things have changed," drummer Rhett Stonelake says. "Brian Fennell is now playing guitar, having previously played keyboards, and we have a new member Branden Cate dedicated to playing a new palette of synths/keys." Fennell continues "We were exploring new territory with new instruments, which kind of felt like moving to a new country for a year without really knowning the langauge and just jumping in. At times, it made me laugh uncontrollably because we would have never made music like this five or even three years ago. It showed me how seriously to not take myself or the band."

Barcelona's sound is malleable. It has hooks and pop aesthetic, but digs deeper too. "We are attempting to DIY much of this project on our own and in so doing, we have a particular ethic and pride of doing things." With their self-driven reinvention crackling with energy Fennell says Barcelona has cultivated a newfound focus and a two-fold mission: "We want people to close their eyes and imagine themselves at prom... or we just want them to freak out and dance."

Midnight Cinema
Clayton Stroope, Drew Cribley and Paul Niedermier
-from SF
-If the names Clayton Stroope (Vocals), Drew Cribley (Guitar) and Paul Niedermier (Drums) sound familiar, it’s because you’ve heard them before. The Bay Area band Midnight Cinema is a reincarnation of sorts of the Gold selling band Thriving Ivory.
During their time off from touring and recording, the band wanted to get back to their roots and their "normal" lives spending time with family and friends, working and going back to school all while still getting together to write songs, go to shows, as well as to take the occasional band camping trip. After a long break they’re ready to show their loyal fans and the world the music they’ve created. So get in line and get ready to listen to the premiere of Midnight Cinema.
