Alborn

They've toured and shared stages with Shinedown, Sevendust, Nonpoint, All That Remains, Buckcherry, Powerman 5000, and many more, steadily cementing their place among modern rock’s rising heavyweights.

In 2022, ALBORN teamed up with producers Chris Collier and James “Fluff” Harley (Korn, Slipknot) to record the 2023 EP Push via Sony/The Orchard. led by the Billboard-charting title track that captured nationwide radio traction.

2023 saw the band hit the road for 18 dates with Powerman 5000, followed by Rockfest (WI) and direct support slots with All That Remains. Throughout 2024, they played multiple sold-out Midwest headliners and dropped two more hard-hitting singles — A Little Less Than Expected (Show Me) in August and Same Roads in November.

Most recently, ALBORN released “Violent” — a self-shot, heavy-yet-hooky single that showcases both their sharpened sound and their raw, DIY visual aesthetic. The track continues to turn heads in the alt-metal world for its balance of chaos and catchiness.

Versus Me

Versus Me’s single “Terrified” reached the top 40s chart by securing number #32 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock National Airplay charts and #34 for all of national rock radio and remained there for eight straight weeks.

Versus Me is a four-piece active rock/metalcore band from Wisconsin that has made a name for itself with a rabid fan base, slick production, and the drive to take the world by storm. Having toured with national acts such as I Prevail, Kingdom Collapse, Famous Last Words, The Funeral Portrait, and Until I Wake, Versus Me isn't showing signs of slowing down anytime soon. Versus Me delivers an intricate blend of metalcore and rock with a modern pop edge that's sure to get the blood pumping.

Discrepancies

Discrepancies is the Rap Rock band started by Antonio Metcalf (Vocals) and Garrett Weakley (Bass) in St. Louis, MO. Through discussions about the need for an authentic rap rock sound, the two started the band along with Addison Bracher on guitar and vocals. Their first demo was “Get Hype” in January of 2014, which Antonio & Garrett dropped into thousands of food bags in the drive-thru window of their workplace. This guerrilla tactic led to their first single gathering over 100,000 streams within the first 6 months, and allowed their early live shows to pack out the local small-cap rooms.

In 2023, the band spent nearly 100 days on the road touring with Tech N9ne, Hollywood Undead, Wolves At The Gate, Catch Your Breath, Until I Wake, VRSTY, Outline In Color, ARCHERS, Versus Me, & many more. The first single, “Hands Up,” came out swinging with over 250k streams before the EP dropped and continues to be a huge staple live for the band.

Mercury's Crown

Mercury's Crown is a modern rock band formed in the summer of 2022. The current lineup includes Jordan Dodd (lead vocals/guitar), Nicky Bibik (bass), Aidan McGinn (drums), and Cameron Cannady (lead guitar). They blend modern, classic, and blues rock, released their first original songs in November 2024, and won the 2024 QC Rock Academy Battle of the Bands.
