MEND
MEND is an alt-rock band from Washington, DC, drawing from multiple genres such as post-hardcore, pop punk, and emo. Their sound moves between melody and dissonance, pulling listeners into a world where vulnerability and intensity collide. Onstage, MEND leans into a moody, shadow-soaked atmosphere—performances that feel more like cathartic rituals than concerts. Every song is a release, and every show a reflection of your inner thoughts.
Sunday Morning
Grief is complicated, both in practice and in definition. Keanu Reeves said, “Grief changes shape, but it never ends.” It ebbs and flows. It lives with you. Eternal Grief, the debut album from Connecticut emo juggernauts Sunday Morning, dismantles grief by carefully examining the prismatic presentation it can have across a lifetime. Engineered by Rob Chiarappa (The Story So Far, Koyo) and mixed by Brett Romnes (Hot Mulligan, Anxious), the album sees the band building upon the foundation they’ve solidified over the past 6 years. The heavy parts are heavier, the melodic parts are catchier, and the lyrics are more personal and resonant than ever before.
Afloat
Afloat is an emo band from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, blending emotionally charged lyrics with moody, dynamic instrumentals. Drawing comparisons to bands like Movements, their sound captures the feeling of drifting between heartbreak and healing, isolation and connection. Rooted in early 2000s emo but shaped by modern textures, Afloat’s music speaks to anyone who’s ever felt like they’re barely staying above the surface. Their latest release, Where I Stand, showcases their raw, unfiltered energy and growing presence in the emo revival scene.
STMNTS
STMNTS (pronounced Statements) is a 5-piece emotive pop punk outfit from Baltimore, Maryland. Formed in 2022, the band consists of vocalist Liam King, rhythm guitarist Jamie Black, lead guitarist Drew Chiodo, bassist Josh Pelc, and drummer Shawn Smyth. STMNTS takes influence from punk, emo, and post-hardcore groups ranging from the early 2000s to the current musical scene, such as: Four Year Strong, The Wonder Years, Bayside, and Like Pacific.
