Printed inside his yearbook directly below his senior portrait are Kyle Harvey's parting words to the class of 2011 at Ventura High School in California: "See You When I am Famous!!!!!!!!!!!!" And his foresight could not have been clearer.

Now known mononymously as KYLE, the chart-topping, multi-platinum rapper's sophomore studio album, See You When I am Famous!!!!!!!!!!!! is appropriately named in honor of his high school year book quote. Earlier this year, KYLE tapped Rich The Kid & K Camp for, "YES!," the explosive first single from his forthcoming LP, which the New York Times noted that, "KYLE is perhaps

Acting Like Black Sabbath was formed in Nelson BC, Canada in 2022 by four guys who absolutely worship Black Sabbath. But not just four guys, four guys who’ve been around the block a few times. Guitarist Mike Hodsall is a member of the legendary Vancouver punk band, DOA and has played in over 30 countries around the globe. Graham Tracey, vocals, was once a touring vocalist with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, selling out arenas all over the US. Drummer, Roger Swan, is a Juno (Canadian version of a Grammy eh) award winning producer who has worked with Devin Townsend and Kaos. Bassist JC Van Bruegel has done his time touring with the Pink Flamingos. 

These four guys may not look like Black Sabbath but you’ll have a hard time finding a more accurate representation than Acting Like Black Sabbath, delivered with a true conviction and love for one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.

"The massively influential NYC screamo  legends Saetia recently posted a very short video of their first rehearsal in 20+ years, which prompted speculation of a reunion, and now it’s official. Saetia were initially around from 1997 to 1999, during which time they released one full-length and a variety of smaller releases, all of which were compiled for 2001’s essential A Retrospective comp (and again for 2016’s Collected, released on Touche Amore frontman Jeremy Bolm’s Secret Voice label). After their breakup, members formed Hot Cross and Off Minor (and Greg Drudy briefly drummed for Interpol). More recently, guitarist Jamie Behar has been playing in Lytic and Pembroke, vocalist Billy Werner has been playing as M//R, and guitarist Adam Marino has been playing in Attempt Survivors." - Brooklyn Vegan 

JAKE BREWER

Rising alt-pop singer/songwriter Jake Brewer is embarking on his most ambitious tour yet. The Seattle-native is a recent TedX speaker, host of the Groundbreaking podcast, and founder of FRNDLY Media. Followed by tens of thousands online and collaborating with brands like HBO Max and Abercrombie, Jake is quickly becoming a new favorite boy next door. His new EP, for her eyes only, documents unique perspectives with production from Ben Rice (FLETCHER, Jonas Brothers) and Chedda (Jeremy Zucker, SZA), led by indie-alt/pop anthems like "sweetly" and "foolish."

"Jake Brewer is not afraid to be vulnerable and laces every line with thought-provoking and heart-wrenching lyrics" - Fan to Band
"The music industry should watch out for what [Jake's] next something is, because there's no doubt Brewer will tackle it head on." - The Greater Good
"‘Sweetly’ is a homerun of a track... a perfect song to play on a car ride with the windows down, screaming the words." - The Honey Pop

ADAM PADDOCK

Adam Paddock is an alt-pop, four-piece based in Columbus, OH. The intersection between energetic pop & intimate singer-songwriter is where their diverse discography feels right at home. Double-take-worthy horn arrangement married to unassuming, soaring vocals driven by familiar, acoustic instrumentation is the formula; power-packed, community-focused live shows are the result. People are the point.

As strong of an entrance as one can dream to make, Adam Paddock burst into the Ohio scene when he opened for Waka Flocka Flame & MAX as his first full-band show EVER, in the fall of 2020. Since this grand entrance, Paddock has opened for other nationally-acclaimed acts such as Judah & the Lion, Jake Miller, ella jane, Kings Kaleidoscope, Ripe, Truslow, Anna Vaus, Abby Holliday, Gable Price and Friends, Post Sex Nachos, and The Wonderlands. This success led to selling out his debut headlining show, resulting in a near-sell out at an upgraded venue in February of 2022. Paddock has solidified his stake in the legendary Columbus scene with his headlining show, 'COLUMBUS AGAINST THE WORLD' at the iconic Newport Music Hall in March 2023, with nearly 1000 in attendance. This spring, the boys take on part 1 of their east coast tour and will roll out their debut album, ‘Sweet Ohio Light.’

Members: Adam Paddock (vocals, acoustic guitar, keys), Adrian Oliver (drums, production manager), Max Lew (electric guitar, production, vocals), Caelan Quigley (trumpet, keys)

Ty Segall follows 2022’s acoustic introspection opus “Hello, Hi” with a deeper, wilder journey to the center of the self. With Three Bells, he’s created a set of his most ambitious, elastic songs, using his musical vocabulary with ever-increasing sophistication. It’s an obsessive quest for an expression that answers back to the riptide always pulling him subconsciously into the depths. Questions we all ask in our own private mirrors are faced down here—and regardless of what the mysterious “Three Bells” mean in the context of the album’s libretto, you can be assured that Ty’s ringing them for himself, and for the rest of us in turn.

It’s a growing up and out of your head parable, but the farther out you get, the farther in you go. The two-head-ed suggestion of 2012’s Twins has grown ever more complex, as the outside/inside world of perception dissolves into a greater world of the senses—all six or seven of them! Since Ty deals in sounds, Three Bells rings with them most of all: sounds signaling the next phase, ringing to keep you stuck, or to set you free, with guitars like voices, questioning and answering the others in their turn.

Since 2008, the singer/guitarist/puzzled panther we call Ty Segall has played out his hunger to be free over a dozen solo LPs and a series of other-named projects. In his music, freedom has taken the form of a rippling eclecticism in songs and production sounds, all of them conversing from album to album in a mad diversity of voices. Across the discograverse, 2014’s Manipulator and 2018’s Freedom’s Goblin precede Three Bells in double-album epicity, each unfurling its own multivarious tapestry in an atmosphere of gleeful octophenia, as Ty throws everything against the wall, delighting in how much he can stick there. With all fifteen songs brimming with perspectives, shape-shifting incessantly, not even waiting for a new song to work into the next idea, Three Bells steps into the shoes of both his previous doubles at the same time, designing finally to do the extended format justice.

The acoustic songs of “Hello, Hi” had been a blast of fresh air; wanting another hit of that sweet air, Ty recognized that his body was craving to play the drums. This was a key that let him into the album—the songwriting happening on both guitar and drums. As the songs emerged, Ty pushed them out farther and farther compositionally, challenging the way they’d be played, then playing much of Three Bells in conversation with himself—a decision that further elevates the album’s conception.

Not many cover or tribute bands out there ever attempt to engage in the raw talent, mysticism, math and magic that is TOOL, but if you talk to four brave souls from New York City (Keith Williams- Guitar, Angelo Rivera- Vocals, Joe Cunningham- Bass, Donald Pusateri- Drums) their love and passion for this music led them to form SCHISM, New York City's premier TOOL tribute band. 

"We started this back in 2001, after seeing TOOL at Hammerstein Ballroom. We simply loved the music and wanted to share it live with other TOOL minded fans" says SCHISM guitarist Keith Williams.

"We've been a national touring act for over 20 years now. This isn't something you tap your foot to, this is more of an interactive experience for the listener. These songs are compositional masterpieces, which will be studied for years to come. It's where music and art collide".  

If you've never had the chance to see TOOL live, here's your local opportunity, and truly a job well done as they're celebrating their 23rd year anniversary.  

We invite you, the collective unconscious to share with us the experience of TOOL & Schism.

13 bands!
