Traveling in a 1989 Toyota van, they shared their music locally which they coined “Attic-Rock.” After a summer in their hometown and newfound passion of playing live, the four renovated an old school bus and began touring the US before their first official release. Many dive bars and music halls later, their “Barefoot Tour” landed the band a new cult following. So far, the group has released a live album, ‘Attic Sessions’, a studio EP ‘Beach Plum’, and 7 new singles into the release of their debut studio album ‘The Pit’. They have amassed over 20 million combined streams and sold-out headline shows in NYC (Bowery Ballroom), LA, Boston, Chicago, Nashville, Philly & more – including sets at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Shaky Knees, Kilby Block Party & more. The debut studio album from the band, ‘The Pit’, will be released on April 18th this year. This project was compiled over months of time spent all over the country. From the abandoned winter on Nantucket Island, to Nashville, to Georgia, to recording at Applehead Studios in Woodstock, NY. This project was produced by 71-year-old legendary producer, Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon, Black Keys). It includes a guest appearance by 80-year-old songwriter and frontman of The Lovin’ Spoonful, John Sebastian. ‘The Pit’ consists of 13 tracks that will take you on a journey through Arcy Drive’s lens on the genre of ‘Attic Rock’. Be on the lookout for their biggest touring year yet this Fall!

Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown
Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown would label themselves a rock and roll band, however, there’s a little more to it than that. Some might hear a bluesy influence while some might call it classic or southern rock. The pure energy and volume that could follow a heartfelt ballad proves that this band is hard to fit into a single box. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, the group are true music appreciators who pride themselves on their live shows. Night after night they leave it all on the stage and like to refer to those nights as celebrations of “life, sound, and community.” The band consists of Tyler Bryant on lead vocals and guitar, Caleb Crosby on drums, and Graham Whitford on guitar. They have played hundreds of shows with countless venerable icons, such as AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, ZZ Top, Clutch, and Jeff Beck, just to name a few. In 2022, the group decided to take their career into their own hands by starting Rattle Shake Records – an independent label that allows them a direct line of communication with their fans. The group released Electrified in 2024 — an album that represents the band’s mantra of letting loose and making music that sounds just as good on the stage as it does on a record. “I think this is potentially our most “authentically us” sounding album,” says Tyler. For Crosby, the album “feels like the culmination of where we’ve been and where we want to be.” “There are a lot of things to overthink in life,” Bryant says. “Rock and roll is not one of those things.”

El Desmadre Party
“Omaha! We are el desmadre. A rave party by latinos, for latinos. Donde el rave se encuentra con el perreo. We cannot wait to party with you!”
Swans
Michael Gira founded Swans in 1982. Initially known for their brutal, high-volume onslaughts of sound and the extreme, abject imagery of Gira’s lyrics and his thundering vocals, Swans underwent a series of startling transformations over the next 15 years. After early punishing albums like Filth and Cop, they explored proto-industrial rock with Greed, atmospheric and martial elements on Children of God (1987), acoustic meditations on The Burning World (1989), and grand, melody-dense sonic whirlwinds with White Light from the Mouth of Infinity (1991) and Love of Life (1993), before becoming more dissonant and sharp-edged with The Great Annihilator (1994). Finally, the ultimate statement of that epoch of Swans, Soundtracks for the Blind, combined all of these elements across well over two hours of music. Gira disbanded the group, shifting focus to Angels of Light and his Young God Records label, fostering artists like Devendra Banhart and Akron/Family. In 2010, he revived Swans with My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky to ecstatic critical response followed by The Seer (2012) and To Be Kind (2014), with both earning critical and commercial success, leading to sold-out tours and multiple Billboard chart placements. The Glowing Man (2017) marked the end of that Swans incarnation, with Leaving Meaning (2019) and The Beggar (2023) continuing Gira’s work with an evolving lineup.
