Looms
Looms official site | Looms on Facebook | Looms on Bandcamp
Formed in the winter of 2012, Looms consists of frontman Sharif Mekawy (vocals, keys, guitar), Harry Morris Jr. (guitar), A. Hammond Murray (bass) and Zach Eichenhorn (drums). The groups’ music is written around vocals and melodic instrumental arrangements. Each song has its own identity, an evolving catalogue that runs the gamut of song construction. Rock, pop, jazz, electronic, country and folk music are dissected and deconstructed down to their basic components, and then reassembled during the bands writing process. Following the release of their debut LP, Waking Days, the band is already set to record new material in early 2015. Looms’s newest compositions are equal parts rhythm and content with insightful, emotionally engaging vocals. Looms has built a grassroots fan base by captivating its audience. Fans return knowing they are not going to see a cookie cutter set because of the groups’ improvisational acumen within bridge and solo sections. Non-traditional covers and varied set lists build the mysticism and musical prowess of the group.
Stabwounds

Stabwounds is a doe-eyed indie folk two-piece with a salacious, occasionally murderous rock and roll streak. They “soundtrack a generation of sexually charged hopeless romantics” (Pucker Mob). All original songs, Stabwounds is the sexually charged reincarnation of Simon and Garfunkel.
Stabwounds is comprised of Brooklyn-based vocalists Amanda Brooklyn and Emma March Barash.

“Long before Sam made the U.S. his home, he fell in love with soul, blues, rock ‘n’ roll, and country. Spending years creating his own style by merging these genres, the result is an eclectic Americana, unified by his distinct baritone and his guitar-based compositions.”—Georgie Magazine
