Justmadnice is a haunting and transcendent audio project from indie folk muse Alex Farr. Originally a solo project, their debut EP, Small, was released in 2021 followed by a music video for their song “Lost,” a handful of live recording sessions, and their single “Resolution” released in 2022.
Not quite rock, more of a pebble. Pillow Princess is the newest offering from Philly music-scene stalwart, and Secret Nudist Friends front-person, Mattie Kimberly Klauser (she/they). She is joined by Sam Nobles (he/him), Nikki Moscony (she/they), and Alex Clayton (he/him) to create a unique blend of dreamy psych rock and soulful r&b. The textures are lush and immersive, wrapping you in a musical embrace, and inviting you to lie back and enjoy
Puppy Angst is a moody 5-piece from Philadelphia started by Alyssa Milman (guitar, vocals). Alyssa’s songwriting combines raw, diary-like lyricism colored by the biting introspection of adulthood with shoegaze and dream pop influences, resulting in tracks that tell a noisy and unapologetic coming-of-age story. Dan Leinweber (guitar, vocals), John Heywood (bass), and Eric Naroden (drums) round out the rest of the band. As of February 2022, Pauli Mia has joined as a performing member on synth and backing vocals. On October 24th, 2022, Puppy Angst released their debut album Scorpio Season. Their music has been played on WXPN, CD 92.9 FM, KXLU, DKFM Shoegaze Radio, BFF.FM, WKDU, and more. They’ve been covered by WXPN, Queerty, Guitar Girl Magazine, and Magnet Magazine, among other publications. Alyssa previously toured with fellow Philly pop outfit Kississippi, and their past projects include Past Life and Blushed, in which they were a founding member. Dan played lead guitar in Blushed alongside Alyssa, and currently also creates music under his projects Greenspace and Radial Gradient. John plays bass in Alex G, Eric is the frontman of In Lieu of Roses, and Pauli is the frontwoman of Twin Princess. — pfp, banner, and photos 1-6 by brooke marsh photos 7-8 by jj park photo 9 by lydia ruth photo 10 by jayce williams
