Thirsty Curses is an eclectic rock band from Raleigh reminiscent of The Replacements, Deer Tick, and Against Me! As Yes! Weekly wrote, “Thirsty Curses make rock’n’roll, with a boisterous beer-swilling edge to it. Many of these songs are about living it up while things fall apart at the seams, or at least trying to find some glory in chaos and meaninglessness.

Booster Club is a College Rock Revival™ band from the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Just beneath the surface of energetic overdriven guitars and crashing cymbals are real songs laden with sing-a-long hooks and catchy melodies.

Formed in 2022, this post-pandemic alternative rock band members are veterans of the NC music scene led by singer/guitarist Steven Bailey (Indiobravo, The Jaded Rakes, Brandy Lindsey and the Punch, Paloma, Waxing Myrna) joined by bassist Alan Levine (Bob Funck Band, Coytah, and Indiobravo), drummer Joey Zielazinski (Secretary Pool), and lead guitarist Josh Feierman (Sex Negative, Honcho, The Last Nerves).

While Booster Club’s influences quickly become apparent (The Replacements, Pixies, Pavement, et al), their music stands out as modern College Rock. PITCH PERFECT described Booster Club’s freshman release, “Here Kid”, with "The guitars are razor sharp, the bass busy and angry, and the drumming full and inventive". THE JOY OF VIOLENT MOVEMENT sang Booster Club praises with “anthemic, college radio jam rooted in enormous hooks, fuzzy power chords and heart-proudly on-sleeve performances”.

Being delivered with an authentic fervor fueled by death-anxiety and caffeine, Booster Club live performances deliver an authentic energy that is undeniable. Despite sharing common aesthetics with pre-internet college radio artists, Booster Club takes on forward-leaning sensibilities that are unafraid to veer from anthemic hooks to art-rock chaos.

Goddamn Wolves is an indie rock trio from Raleigh, North Carolina that formed in 2018. The band is influenced by classic alternative rock acts like Pixies and the New Pornographers as well as current acts like the Beths and Bully.

Male/female vocal harmony interplay and infectious melodies courtesy of Chris Weilding and Laura McCullough, backed by the rock-solid, inventive drumming and backing vocals of Drew Foglia come together to form what The Big Takeover called “that perfect blend of an almost pop infectiousness and an underground rock sound.”

In 2023, Goddamn Wolves began recording with engineer Max Gowan of Found After Dark studio in Raleigh. This extremely fruitful partnership has led to a string of singles that the band hopes to compile as a vinyl LP release. The latest project, The Doom EP contains four songs that reflect the dread uncertainty currently facing many Americans. Song titles include “We’re Doomed,” “Later Than You Think,” “Get Your Coat” and “So Long.” Despite, or perhaps because of, the current climate of unease, the band is experiencing its most creative/collaborative period yet and has several new songs ready to record.

Until then, the band is bracing itself and continuing to play shows locally around the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill triangle
