“Artificial Go is a new four piece hailing from the DIY post-punk scene of Cincinnati, Ohio. Local labels Feel It and Future Shock have teamed up to co-release Artificial Go's debut album, Hopscotch Fever. Consisting of eight tight tracks, this debut is just that: an introduction. A little bit mercurial, a little bit iconic. Artificial Go is operating out of their own genre - not quite post-punk, not quite pop. Hopscotch Fever seems to have been recorded just outside of the collective-genre-periphery to form some sort of extraterrestrial kind of music. With angular guitar breaks, bouncing rhythms, and jolting vocals, Artificial Go is truly here on their own terms.” -Jacob Mouser

OLL R&R VFW alumni Prude Boys will be holding this one down with a home-base mega-concert for the ages… again.

“Prude Boys have been around long enough for local music fans to potentially already feel acquainted with their sound: an exhilarating blend of surfy, strutting, ’60s pop rock and grimy, riffy ’70s sludge, made indelible by their sensibilities for a perfect hook and a super sweet melody. The aesthetic was always a little bit cool, a little bit greasy, and a little bit nostalgic, but always embossed with a ton of heart and emotional earnestness. Their tumbling rhythms and reverb-soaked guitars were always sweetened quite poignantly by Caroline’s angelic lead vocals, often curled at the ends with a distinctive vibrato.” -metro times
