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.

Marked by its androgynous visual identity, eerie themes, and melancholic synth pop, Drab Majesty is a project led by Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Andrew Clinco, who records under the alter ego Deb DeMure. Mixing the sonic aesthetic of early 4AD artists with elements of goth and new wave, Clinco issued a scattering of indie releases before signing with DAIS Records. After 2015’s Careless, he was joined by collaborator Alex Nicolaou (aka Mona D) on subsequent releases including 2017’s mass suicide-themed concept album The Demonstration and 2019’s dense, synth-driven Modern Mirror. Drab Majesty returned in 2023 with the four-song mini-album An Object in Motion which featured a collaboration with Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell.

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 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.

Heroes Live Entertainment presents Chameleons Performing the Album: Strange Times with special guests The Veldt and Violet Silhouette on Monday, October 28, 2024 @ Respectable Street in West Palm Beach.

’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.

What happens when you mix brooding existentialism with a love of synthesizers and noise-rock? — Violet Silhouette may have an answer, in fact, it has all of them. Born from a tropical depression, Violet Silhouette is an American musical duo or group that may or may not sound like how dusk feels but with more reverb. Their live shows have been called “very good” and exist with the intent of giving the viewer and performer a shared catharsis.The first EP titled SEMIPERMANENTDEREALIZATION has been considered appropriate for all mood levels, intimate settings, and night driving.

“…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)

Stabbing Westward + The Requiem + Violent Vickie – West Palm Beach – 5/10/24

Heroes Live Entertainment presents Stabbing Westward “Chasing Ghosts Tour 2024” with special guests The Requiem and Violent Vickie on Friday, May 10, 2024 @ Respectable Street in West Palm Beach. This is their only headlining Florida show! First South Florida show since 2001!
Tickets: https://stabbingwestward.eventbrite.com

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

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.

In 2024, the band will be playing a select number of shows, performing their first two albums in full – The Ocean Blue and Cerulean – in dates throughout the U.S. as they continue work on a new album. 

Getting their start as teenagers in the late ‘80s in Hershey, PA, The Ocean Blue released their self-titled debut on the famed Sire Records that launched many of their heroes in the U.S., like the Smiths and Echo & the Bunnymen. Embraced by MTV, the band quickly made their mark on the onset of the Alternative Music scene.

Heroes Live Entertainment presents indie-pop legends The Ocean Blue in The Magic City on Friday, November 10th, 2023 @ The Ground at Club Space in Miami for an EXCLUSIVE FLORIDA SHOW! Special guests JAIALAI and celebrated Miami DJ Carlos Menendez (Fire & Ice, Backdoor, The Church) will get things started.
Tickets: https://theoceanbluemiami.eventbrite.com

7:00PM (GA Doors) | 7:30PM (Show) | 5:30 (VIP Doors) | 18+

The Ocean Blue arrived as the 1980s drew to a close, and their debut record on the famed Sire Records label in 1989 seemed to summarize the best of the musical decade. The band of four teenagers from Hershey, Pennsylvania quickly achieved widespread acclaim and radio & MTV airplay, with top 10 Modern Rock/College Radio hits like Between Something and Nothing and Drifting, Falling. They followed their debut release with the subtle and atmospheric Cerulean, which included perhaps their most beloved song, Ballerina Out of Control, and followed that with their highest charting pop album Beneath the Rhythm and Sound and the single Sublime, featuring a video of the band in the sublime landscape of Iceland. The band’s fourth record for Mercury/PolyGram, See The Ocean Blue, was a departure to a more guitar rock sound of the 60s and 70s, but with the band’s 80s DNA peeking through. After a busy decade of recording and touring, the band left the majors in the late 90s. Several independent releases and related touring followed in the 2000s, including 2000’s Davy Jones Locker and 2004’s Waterworks EP, and some wider international touring. In 2013, after much anticipation, the band released their first full-length record in over 10 years, Ultramarine, on Korda Records, a Minneapolis-based label cooperative label the band helped launch that same year. The record was a welcome return for fans of the band and a younger generation of fans and garnered widespread praise as one of their very best albums. In 2015, the band worked with Sire and Rhino Records to reissue their first 3 Sire albums on vinyl. The band marked the occasion by performing the first 2 albums in their entirety at limited concerts throughout the U.S. In 2016, the band did a whole South American Tour where some of their most passionate fans reside.

The band has returned with their signature dream pop sound on the beautifully powerful Kings and Queens / Knaves and Thieves on Korda Records.

They followed their debut release with the subtle and atmospheric Cerulean, which included perhaps their most beloved song, Ballerina Out of Control, and followed that with their highest charting pop album Beneath the Rhythm and Sound and the single Sublime, featuring a video of the band in the sublime landscape of Iceland. The band’s fourth record for Mercury/PolyGram, See The Ocean Blue, was a departure to a more guitar rock sound of the 60s and 70s, but with the band’s 80s DNA peeking through. After a busy decade of recording and touring, the band left the majors in the late 90s. Several independent releases and related touring followed in the 2000s, including 2000’s Davy Jones Locker and 2004’s Waterworks EP, and some wider international touring. In 2013, after much anticipation, the band released their first full length record in over 10 years, Ultramarine, on Korda Records, a Minneapolis-based label cooperative label the band helped launch that same year. The record was a welcome return for fans of the band and a younger generation of fans, and garnered widespread praise as one of their very best albums. In 2015, the band worked with Sire and Rhino Records to reissue their first 3 Sire albums on vinyl. The band marked the occasion by performing the first 2 albums in their entirety at limited concerts throughout the U.S. In 2016, the band did a full South American Tour where some of their most passionate fans reside.

The band has now returned with their signature dream pop sound on the beautifully powerful Kings and Queens / Knaves and Thieves. Out now on Korda Records. See the band on tour in 2019-2021.
