Worry Club is a Chicago-based band started by Chase Walsh (singer/songwriter) in January 2020. In just under four years, the band has amassed over 12 million streams. Worry Club has built an engaged and devoted fan base through a discography of singles that quickly found their audience online during the pandemic and the collective’s staunch advocacy for mental health awareness. In 2023 they released their third EP, “All Frogs Go to Heaven”, which received a long list of editorial playlists across DSPS, and coverage from notable press outlets. 2024 has started off with their most recent release, “I Suck” which is about falling behind in relationships and admitting that you suck. It’s about taking the easy way out and admitting you suck instead of taking real accountability. They have attracted high interest from multiple record labels, and have plans to release music and tour as much as possible.
Sorry Mom
NYC-based queer punk duo Sorry Mom was built on east coast grit and punk-fueled chaos. The duo, comprised of Juno Moreno and Taryn Gangi, were college buddies, and they credit their collegiate music scene for kick-starting their career after being admittedly ticked off that the bands on campus were heavily male-dominated.
The band is noticeably unostentatious, and prefer to let their music do the talking. Beware the band will deliver you a heavy dose of sarcasm and the realest set of lyrics you’ve ever heard. Sorry Mom is carving out their own unique space in the scene, and infusing their no nonsense, I don’t give a f*ck attitude into every song they make.
Payette
Payette is the alias of Boise-based Producer, Songwriter, and Multi-instrumentalist Ryan Elliott, who began honing his craft through DIY recordings in 2018. Featuring a warm voice and a unique blend of pop, rock, psychedelia, and soul, his songs push the fluidity of genre into exciting new territories. With introspective lyrics surrounding the nature of life and love in the confusing modern age, the music invites you to hold on to the good in your world. Common sounds include layered synthesisers, crunchy guitars, and slick bass grooves. What started as a solo project has begun to expand into a more collaborative process with friends, although just as homebrewed as ever. Now featuring a full band for live performances, their sonic concoctions are taking on a life all their own on stage.
