Bloomsday is the Brooklyn based project of songwriter Iris James Garrison (they/them). The band self-produced and released their debut LP Place To Land, on Bayonet Records in 2022. Place to Land, which has folk and shoegaze influences, follows Garrison’s experience of isolation while confronting their inner ghosts. The dialogue between the guitars and vocals is intended to convey their internal conversations. Other Bloomsday releases include their single “Jersey Soccer” for Hardly Art’s Anniversary Series, and an alternative version of “Phase” released this year on Bayonet Records. Bloomsday will release their second LP in the coming year.

evan.zuri (real name: Evan Zurilgen) is a musician based in Boise, Idaho. Starting as the frontman for the post-punk band Neocentrics in his teenage years, Evan has since struck out on his own, releasing his debut album Everything Thus Far (2019–2099) in September 2025 via the Boston-based record label Candlepin Records. He has also toured across the West Coast, opening for bands such as Sour Widows, Ringo Deathstarr, Bleary Eyed, and Guerilla Toss.Although Evan’s style of music is firmly rooted in the alternative/underground rock world, his influences span across decades. The technicality of King Crimson, the raw energy of Thin Lizzy, the guitar heroics of Dinosaur Jr., the melancholic lyrics of Pinback, and even the lo-fi, anthemic sound of modern-day bands such as Hotline TNT all find their way into Evan’s unique style. The result is a musical goulash, ripe with emotional weight and honesty, that will leave a lasting impact on anyone who chooses to listen.
