Emery is the realest, most relatable band of the era. The undisputed kings of Christian emo have spent two decades creating emotional experiences by blending post-hardcore chaos, melodies, and lyrics that hit way too close to home. They’re the band that makes you scream, cry, and laugh, sometimes all in the same breath. Known for their self-aware humor and ability to turn heartbreak into harmony, and innovative DIY approach, Emery has become a favorite for fans who love music that feels as real and messy as life. Emery keeps it loud, honest, and unapologetically fun.

Josh Scogin kickstarted his small band with the big sound in 2013, naming the two-man outfit he modestly undersells as “a little rock, a little blues, a little hardcore” after his father’s old Camaro. And there’s a muscle car-sized rumble beneath the hood of what the Atlanta, Georgia native and his percussive partner-in-crime, Nikko Yamada, unleash with an array of guitar, bass, drums, keys, and pedals, careening between swinging barnburners, wild haymakers, and moody atmosphere.

The passion, the hunger, the good humor, it all connects with diverse crowds. Deliciously stripped down and vibrant, ’68 excels in intimate environments, to be sure, but is no less unignorable on giant festival stages or on the road with Bring Me The Horizon, Stone Sour, Beartooth, Avatar, August Burns Red, The Amity Affliction, and Underoath, where they’ve earned new converts every day.

In Humor and Sadness, the first album by ’68, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard New Artist Chart. Two Parts Viper followed in 2017. Grammy-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains) became a believer after just a few songs of a ’68 set. On ‘Give One Take One’, crafted with Raskulinecz in Nashville, the band’s high intensity bombast threatens but never swallows the underlying groove. – Ryan J Downey

‘Give One Take One’, the new album, is out now.

“…Urban Heat has taken Austin’s clubs and America’s goth underground in such a blitz that it feels like it suddenly arose from the ether.” – Andy O’Conner, SPIN

“A lightning rod of dark electro/proto-punk/new wave/synth wave/part goth/part industrial sound that is all the things but… simultaneously transcending them into something fresher.” – Laurie Gallardo, KUTX 98.9

Austin is known as the music capital of the world — and Urban Heat is one of its greatest exports. The band, formed only five years ago as the brainchild of singer/multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Horstmann, has quickly become known for their fiery live shows and infectious darkwave anthems that harken back to the ‘80s with a modern sensibility. Powered by the magnetic Horstmann’s melodic baritone vocals & the pummeling rhythm section of Kevin Naquin and Paxel Foley, UH has won over fans show by show.

Appearances at major California festivals like Cruel World and Darker Waves saw Urban Heat play to their biggest audiences, with their set pointed as one of the best of the day. At home, Urban Heat has long been the talk of SXSW & graced the stage of the Austin City Limits Festival.

Now, with The Tower, we see the band at its absolute peak. Songs like the arena-ready “Seven Safe Places” and the intricately steady “Take it to Your Grave” show the band’s sonic versatility. The latter, which best exemplifies the majority of the record, is about feelings of unworthiness and fears of self-sabotage. Introspectiveness dots Horstmann’s lyrics, driving home their power and relatability.

With a headlining show at Los Angeles’ famed El Rey Theater under their belt, a North American tour, & Fall European tour with Molchat Doma, Urban Heat is ready to show the world what anyone who has seen them already knows: they’re a band that is going to dominate the airwaves for years to come.

“…the dance-punk/postwave triumvirate embarks on a fresh voyage, diving deep into the multifaceted realm of “Neuromanticism.” This exotic medley of sensory experimentation, paired with our recurrently perilous quest for the quintessence of truth and love, pushes boundaries in the genre-bending musical landscape. Imbued with kaleidoscopic undertones and a brooding romanticism, their sound provokes thought, smears the lines, and adds a new dimension to the continually evolving realms of alternative music.” Alice Teeple (Post-punk.com)

Cannibal Kids, hailing from South Florida, have been captivating audiences with their vibrant blend of tropical-pop, infectious melodies, and dynamic performances. The band comprises Damian Gutierrez (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), Luke Faulkingham (Drums), Marty Quinn (Bass), Bennett Wyler (Lead Guitar), and Eli Feingold (Keys, Trombone). Since signing with Shaemax Records in 2016, they’ve released notable singles like “Troubled Mind,” “Love Girl,” and “Voicemail,” accumulating millions of streams and gaining significant attention on college radio. Their albums Bloom and deadheads have further solidified their reputation as innovative songwriters and producers. In 2024, Cannibal Kids unveiled singles “Sinister & Principle” and “Chiral,” generating excitement for their forthcoming concept album, Chiral, set to release on January 17, 2025. This ambitious project features a double-sided theme: one side delving into rock music, the other exploring jazz fusion, showcasing the band’s versatility and creative evolution.

Their live performances have been equally impressive, sharing stages with artists like Young the Giant, Magic City Hippies, Flipturn & Phoneboy. They’ve completed nationwide tours and have a strong following in Florida, with seven sold-out shows in the past 2 years. Drawing inspiration from Japanese City Pop, jazz, indie, and alt rock—citing influences such as Hiroshi Sato & Astrud Gilberto Cannibal Kids have crafted a unique sound that resonates with a broad audience.

Camp Blu emerged from Miami in late 2022, blending indie, surf, and post-punk influences with reverb-soaked guitars and punchy rhythms to create a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh. Their high-energy tracks are driven by melodic hooks and evocative vocals that swing between yearning and defiance—perfect for both the chaos of a live show and the introspection of a solo car ride.

Formed by longtime friends Frank Ferrer (bass) and Angelo Ruiz (vocals and rhythm guitar), who’ve known each other since 5th grade, the duo bonded over their love for bands like MGMT and Interpol. After playing with Daniel Cardona (lead guitar) at a local showcase, they connected over some drinks and shared experiences in Florida’s difficult-to-navigate music scene and a mutual desire to write music together. The trio quickly solidified their creative vision, forming Camp Blu and blending their influences into a unique sound.

Southeast emo band out of Miami, FL

Frogs Show Mercy is one part silly and one part serious. As you get to know the quartet, it’s impossible not to be charmed by the band members’ goofy antics, balanced by their profound dedication to musical growth. The band’s sound is an impressive blend of alternative, emo, math rock, postpunk, and shoegaze, with lyrics that touch on serious themes such as relationships, life, abandonment, and loneliness. However, the way the lyrics are delivered by vocalist and guitarist Yucky Poor, usually accompanied by a clever guitar melody, delivers the song’s message straight to the heart.

Heroes Live Entertainment presents The Hails + Never Ending Fall + REMYZ on Saturday, March 29th, 2025 @ Gramps in Miami. Three powerhouse indie bands, one unforgettable tour. Get ready for an electrifying night of incredible music, high energy, and epic vibes. Tickets on sale now! Don’t miss out.
Tickets: https://thehails2025.eventbrite.com

Following a string of encounters too strange to be coincidence, Robbie Kingsley, Franco Solari, Dylan McCue, Andre Escobar, and Zach Levy came together to form The Hails. Despite first playing in an insular Miami high school music scene, the band officially formed at the University of Florida in Gainesville, turning the tattered carpeting and beer bottle-lined shelves of their shitty college house into a distinct, refined sound that is now synonymous with their name.

After graduation, the group made the pilgrimage back to their home of Miami, the city that directly influenced the sound of their early shimmering singles “Younger” and “Stay”, debut EP He Seems Upset (2020), and the subsequent Alive in Strange Ways (2021). Recent highlights of the road include holding court at festivals including WonderStruck, Okeechobee, and Playground, interspersed between sold-out shows across the state of Florida. The first half of 2022 also saw The Hails join WILLIS for West and East Coast dates.

Firing the starting pistol of their next chapter, The Hails released “Exonerate” in October 2022, ushering in a flood of editorial praise from Billboard, Consequence, EARMILK, and many others excited by the direction the Miami five-piece is headed in. The same weekend as the single’s release, The Hails took it to the stage of Miami’s infamous III Points Festival, winning the crowd’s energy over with a track that had only been out for 24 hours.

In 2023 The Hails plan to release singles building towards a forthcoming debut album, and will continue to build their touring history starting with a southeastern run of shows with The Happy Fits and The Beaches.

Formed in the 4th grade, Never Ending Fall (NEF) is an indie-rock band comprised of lead singer and guitarist Jack Miller, drummer Tommy StClair, guitarist and keyboardist Conrad Boyd, guitarist Pearce Eisenhardt, and bassist Johnny Hohman. The Maryland natives’ repertoire combines sounds ranging from heavy-hitting alt-rock to funky basslines to lighter, electric feel-good melodies. Rising from their hit TikTok series and jingle, ‘Can it Kirkland’, the group has amassed the likes and views of millions worldwide with their undeniable talent, creativity, and chemistry. The 5-piece are now headlining tours and drawing sellout crowds in major US markets, backed by their surging fanbase. Never Ending Fall’s latest single ‘Taking It Slow‘ is available on all major streaming platforms, launching a new era for the band’s upcoming full-length album out Summer of 2024.

The REMYZ is a modern alternative rock band infused with funk, blues, and R&B. With a lineup comprising of Avery Davis, Oscar Familia, Justin Goldbot, Christian Martinez, and Christian Rolon, they are regarded as the most exciting band in Miami. Led by frontman Davis the compelling five-piece has built a formidable reputation playing at shows, concerts, festivals, house parties, malls, and bars all over the city. The bandmates have known each other since middle school but never became close until junior and senior years of high school when they started skipping jazz class together. Leaving during class the friends would go off to the auditorium where they would play on their own. Davis, a keyboardist, and singer, Martinez, a bassist, Goldbot a drummer, Rolon a guitarist, and Familia guitarist and backup singer. All members started out playing different instruments than the ones they currently play when they first started learning.

What the REMYZ have done is take the best elements of funk, RnB, and rock and make it their own creating a unique sound that fits their mold. After releasing 2 EPs, the REMYZ has gained a strong following in Miami. With building momentum, the REMYZ have brought their dynamic presence on tour from Florida to New York performing at multiple venues. Their most prominent performance was at the Miami Heat’s halftime show. The band has achieved other accolades during their stint as a musical group together. The band was awarded “2017 Band Of The Year” by the SSA Songwriters Showcase Association. Declared winners of the Hard Rock Rising Stars “2017 Battle Of The Bands” Miami. And champions of the Miami Heat & JBL Battle Of The Bands in 2019.

The disparate qualities of each musician’s styles are all what makes them great but where they shine as an act is onstage. The members’ talents individually and collectively come together when they perform live. Success for the band is very much a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Seeing the REMYZ live and witnessing their chemistry is truly a spectacle. Their phenomenal cohesion is due to a large degree to the group having known each other and playing together for years since they were in high school. Having such trust in one another allows the band to flourish as a whole and to blend their talents seamlessly, sparking an outlet of creative experimentation all but unprecedented in the scene of Miami.

’80s post-punk take note, Chameleons will be touring in 2024. This marks a reunion between The Chameleons frontman Mark Burgess and guitarist Reg Smithies, who had not toured together under Chameleons name in nearly two decades until 2023’s tour with The Mission UK. The band formed in Greater Manchester UK and is known as one of the genre’s greatest bands.

As bass player, singer and songwriter in iconic post-punk outfit The Chameleons, Mark Burgess can lay claim to having influenced a multitude of artists worldwide. Previously cited by the likes of Interpol, Editors and The National, The Chameleons might not have enjoyed the same levels of commercial success as some of their peers but the band’s legacy lives on.

Having formed in 1981 only to split in 1987 before briefly reforming in 2000, the Mancunian four-piece left behind a flawless back catalogue including three of the most pioneering long players of the post-punk era in Script Of The Bridge, What Does Anything Mean? Basically and Strange Times.

Bandcamp: https://theveldtmusic.bandcamp.com

Identical twins Daniel and Danny Chavis originally hail from Raleigh/ Chapel Hill, North Carolina programmer Hayato Nakao, originally from Japan, hooked up with the Chavis brothers while living in New York. Along with Drummer Dale Miller, Micah Gaugh Keyboardist/Saxophone, Bassist Alex Cox and guitarist Martin Newman make up the current line up.

Lifting their band’s name from a Ray Bradbury science fiction story, their own life stories have also been quite fantastic. After signing to Capitol Records in 1989, The Veldt were soon in the studio with dream-gaze guru Robin Guthrie working on their initial recordings, playing American concert halls with Cocteau Twins and The Jesus and Mary Chain, and recording ‘Marigolds’ with Lincoln Fong (Moose). Not long after, they would record their classic ‘Afrodisiac’ (1994), produced by Ray Shulman (The Sundays, Bjork, Sugarcubes) and released via Mercury Records.

They have also collaborated with TV On The Radio, Mos Def and Lady Miss Kier (Deee-Lite), and shared the stage with The Pixies, Throwing Muses, Echo & The Bunnymen, Cocteau Twins, Manic Street Preachers, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Oasis, Chuck D, Living Colour, and Schooly D.

This past year has also been pretty monumental, with highlights including sold-out tours with Phantogram and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, a European tour, two separate Canadian tours, appearance at some of North America’s and Europe’s hottest psych fests, a spotlight feature on Time Warner Cable TV and being named as east coast support for Modern English. Performing since they were children, the Chavis brothers’ musical roots lead back to the church and southern juke-joints, and listening to music that included gospel, Motown and Pink Floyd. The Veldt formed in the late 80’s in Raleigh amongst the royalty of the legendary North Carolina music scene, including bands such as Superchunk, Archers of Loaf, The Connells, Dillon Fence, The dBs, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and Ryan Adams. Pitchfork recently included their album ‘Afrodisiac’ in the top 50 shoegaze albums ever released. Their sound also inspired future generations of alternative artists, including TV On the Radio.

This latest EP sees the band returning to their roots, albeit with plenty of distortion, programmed beats and pedal effects. They’ve also involved A.R.Kane, who produced ‘And It’s You’. Borrowing the title ‘The Shocking Fuzz of Your Electric Fur’ from an E.E. Cummings poem, this EP includes five tracks with a raging sound influenced equally by the emotional soul of Marvin Gaye, free jazz warriors Sun Ra and Pharaoh Sanders, various Drake hip-hop tracks, long-term musical kin Cocteau Twins, and their own fertile electric imagination.

Heroes Live Entertainment presents Black Lips + Jacuzzi Boys + DJ Smilin’ Dan on Sunday, March 31, 2024 @ The Abbey in Orlando. One of the Peach State’s wildest bands returns to Central Florida with Miami garage rockers Jacuzzi Boys.

Tickets: https://blacklips.eventbrite.com

7:00PM (Doors) | 8:00PM (Show) | 18+

 

Playing garage-flavored punk rock with a Southern accent, a messed-up and bluesy undertow, and the gleefully destructive impact of a 15-year-old with a bag of firecrackers, the Black Lips are a combo who, after their debut in 1999, soon developed a reputation as one of the Peach State’s wildest bands.

Garage punk saviors the Black Lips transform from austere country pioneers into a set of Lynchian surrealists, hellbent on recalibrating the history of 21st Century rock ‘n’ roll. Their new album ‘Apocalypse Love’  cryogenically mutates all recognized musical bases; it spins yarns about vintage Soviet synths, Benzedrine stupors, coup de’ tats, stolen valor, certified destruction and the creative use of quicksand, all set against a black setting sun.

The year, 2007. The Boys, Jacuzzi. Hatched inside a vulture’s nest, Jacuzzi Boys emerged from deep within the Florida wilds, three radioactive chicks cawing for their piece of electric rock pie. Since then, they’ve released four full-length LPs, multiple singles, and most recently, two EPs Dipped and Glue via their own imprint MAG MAG. And it’s with this bag of tunes in tow, that they’ve toured the world, and Europe and even the United States, with some of the most infamous names in rock like King Khan and the Shrines, Man or Astroman?, Vampire Weekend, the Raconteurs and their adopted uncle Iggy Pop. So the next time they’re in your town, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Their new album ‘Apocalypse Love’  cryogenically mutates all recognized musical bases; it spins yarns about vintage Soviet synths, Benzedrine stupors, coup de’ tats, stolen valor, certified destruction and the creative use of quicksand, all set against a black setting sun.

The year, 2007. The Boys, Jacuzzi. Hatched inside a vulture’s nest, Jacuzzi Boys emerged from deep within the Florida wilds, three radioactive chicks cawing for their piece of electric rock pie. Since then, they’ve released four full-length LPs, multiple singles and most recently, two EPs Dipped and Glue via their own imprint MAG MAG. And it’s with this bag of tunes in tow, that they’ve toured the world, and Europe and even the United States, with some of the most infamous names in rock like King Khan and the Shrines, Man or Astroman?, Vampire Weekend, the Raconteurs and their adopted uncle Iggy Pop. So the next time they’re in your town, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Stabbing Westward is an American industrial rock band. Christopher Hall and Walter Flakus formed the band in 1985 in Macomb, Illinois. The band released an extended play in 1992, followed by four studio albums: Ungod (1994), Wither Blister Burn & Peel (1996), Darkest Days (1998), and Stabbing Westward (2001). The band announced a dissolution on February 9, 2002. Two compilation albums were later released in 2003. Stabbing Westward reunited in 2016 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its formation and continued to perform live shows. The band’s first new album in 21 years, Chasing Ghosts, was released in 2022.

The band Stabbing Westward was formed while Christopher Hall and Walter Flakus were in college together at Western Illinois University. The pair came up with the name when they were working at WIUS-FM, their college radio station. According to them, the name comes from a speech from the 1950s about the nation’s fears that Communism was “stabbing westward.”

In 1985, the band’s original line-up moved to Chicago. This line-up of Stabbing Westward recorded Iwo Jesus, the band’s extended play tape with four songs, and was released in 1991.

Then, in 1993, Stabbing Westward traveled to Eden Studios in London, England to record with producer John Fryer. They ended up recording their debut album with a major label (Columbia Records), Ungod. Ungod was released on the 15th of February in 1994. The album got Stabbing Westward an opening slot on Depeche Mode’s “Exotic Tour” in the summer of 1994. They also opened in North America in the fall of 1994 for Killing Joke. This all helped boost the band’s popularity and get their music out to the world.

Wither Blister Burn & Peel became a huge success in 1996. It got the band their very first certified gold album. This accomplishment was helped by their popular singles “What Do I Have to Do?” and “Shame”. They got the band on MTV, MuchMusic, and the radio on a heavy rotation. Following the album, the band toured with other groups including Sponge.

Eventually, Stabbing Westward went to Los Angeles, California, and began to work on their 1998 album, called Darkest Days. The album was envisioned by the band as a story told in four acts. “Save Yourself” the first single off the album had some success. After the album, Stabbing Westward went on to continue to tour with groups such as Placebo, Monster Magnet, The Cult, and Depeche Mode. They would also go on to play in some summer festivals.

In 2016, however, the band reunited for a charity concert and has continued to play reunion shows since. Also, in May of 2020, the band signed with a new label to release a new album!

No matter how sunny it may be in Broward County, a different energy exists beneath the surface. Each generation it seeps out, either in the area’s shock rock luminaries during the nineties or a bevy of post-Soundcloud rap stars in the twenty-tens. That brings us to The Requiem. The Broward County, FL trio—Damien [vocals], Felipe [lead guitar], and Salem [bass]—piece together elements of alternative, rock, emo, and even eighties into an uncompromising and undeniable vision of what music can be without boundaries. After piling up over 1 million streams independently and stirring up buzz, the group captivate on a series of 2023 singles and more to come.

“We want to represent our generation in the best way possible,” exclaims Damien. “Rock music has lost the sloppiness and the vulgarity it used to have. When you’re young, you need to embrace that attitude and danger. We want to bring all of that back to alternative music.”

The guys initially rallied around this mission back in 2020. Damien teamed up with Salem and Felipe. Together, they nodded to influences as diverse as The Used, AFI, Pierce The Veil, and Finch as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, and Genesis. They gained traction with the independent single “Corpse Party,” reeling in 371K Spotify streams and counting. The band landed a deal with Fearless Records. In the meantime, the musicians continued to write and record.

Hailing from the sunshine state, HADEE. is an Alt-Rock artist who has burned his way into the minds of all listeners who come across him. Taking influence from 80s post-punk & new-wave, emo/goth rock, and a touch of classic film noir, HADEE. finishes off this stylistic blend with a balanced mix of modernity. Laced with driving basslines and contagious melodies that bleed nostalgia, HADEE. cuts through the noise, delivering everything you want and didn’t know you needed. With only one year down, he has already amassed a dedicated audience and interest that extends beyond his home base of South Florida, as well as shared the stage with such established acts like Mayday Parade and BOYS LIKE GIRLS, all while still being an independent artist. He was also selected to perform at the 2023 Richmond International Film Festival in which he had taken home the RIFF “Rising Star – Rock Band” Award. HADEE. plans to begin the new year strong with the release of his first EP as well as a string of in-and-out town shows, including a highly-anticipated show date at the Viper Room in Los Angeles on January 6th. As evolution takes its course, it is clear that HADEE. is not willing to be defined by one sound. The Gemini nature of his style further intrigues the listener, keeping them unsure of which song they enjoy more, and even more uncertain of what may follow next.“Every scene has a soundtrack”. HADEE.’s latest single, “POISON IVY” proves the alt-rocker has no plans of stopping now.

With a sound difficult to define or confine to simply one genre, J.L.G is best described as an ethereal Post-punk (ish), New Wave (ish), Goth (ish), Funk (ish) Rock (ish) four-piece band hailing out of South Florida. Formally coming together as a full-fledged band circa June 2022, J.L.G has been growing steadily playing the South Florida circuit, endearing audiences with their infectious energy, unapologetic authenticity, quirkiness, and care-free one-of-a-kind stage presence and live performances, gaining a loyal and passionate following along the way. Blending elements of cinema (specifically horror), theatre, and music, J.L.G is keen on giving an unforgettable sensory experience, offering their audience a space to be and express their most primal selves. Simply put, J.L.G is a can’t miss experience led by its members’ feverish desire to entertain and give the people something to think about long after the show is over, the lights are off and the curtain is closed.
