Ariel Beesley is artist who puts feminism and the belief that anger is power at the forefront of her music. Hard hitting, honest pop songs is what she is all about. From cultivating a loyal fanbase headlining shows in Los Angeles and New York City, to founding and running her own nonprofit for sexual assault survivors (@ustarthere U Start Here,) Ariel Beesley’s music is built on the power of believing in yourself and your worth. Her self titled debut EP was written in New York, Los Angeles, London, and Stockholm, and touches on themes of love, heartbreak, and whatever being in your 20s is all about. She is currently finishing her full-length debut album.

Niis is a band from Los Angeles, California that has stood out in the underground scene for their fierce and intense live performances.The rhythmic, solid and powerful bass, combined with frenzied and psychotic guitars and with the eccentric and aggressive nuances in Mimi's voice, are the factors that will undoubtedly infect you with enough energy to dance and shake your head like no one is watching.

Diode is a Los Angeles synth punk fever-dream featuring members of The Freakees, Shark Toys, Vaguess, and Wild Wing. Their 2020 self-titled release serves as a perfect addition to a time capsule from the disastrous year in which it was made. The music is paranoid and the instruments in constant conflict with one another, topped with the snotty and sardonic vocals by KT Green. While it obviously draws from the past—The Screamers, Kleenex, etc— it sounds like it could’ve been made any time between the late 70s and present day and would be equally as jarring and confusing to the listener at any point in time. You’re either in by the end of the intro on the opening track, or you’re out. Bon voyage!
