Dogtown

From the muddy banks of the River Medway, Dogtown was formed in 2010 creating a sound that is like being violated by a length of splintered 2 by 2 with nails in it; but in a good way. Since that time they have steadily created a fan base in which they want to breakdown the barrier between audience and band with members often jumping down from the stage whilst performing into the crowd at gigs, and encouraging audience members on to the stage.

Chaos Chaos

Chaos Chaos is an indie pop band which formed in Seattle, Washington, United States in 2012. The band consists of sisters Asya Saavedra(vocals, keyboards), and Chloe Saavedra (drums).

The Head And The Heart

Composed primarily of transplants to the Seattle area, The Head and the Heart write and play songs that speak to the newness of a fresh start, of the ghosts left behind, of moving forward, all brimming with a soulfulness and hope for a better life than the one we've all been sold. Stylistically, think a folksy Beatles or The Avett Brothers with a little extra oomph. Catchy piano melodies stand side by side with a tight trio of harmonies, and solid minimalist drums, groovin bass, and plenty of hand percussion and foot stomps make the live show inspiring and really goddamn fun.

The Scarlets

There are at least three artists with the name "The Scarlets" 1. A four piece Australian punk-rock band (2009- present), released "Blow Your House Down" 2010.
2. An indie rock group from Seattle.
3. A doo-wop group formed in Connecticut in 1953 and led by Fred Parris. 1. Drawing musical inspiration predominantly from German and Scandinavian punk-rock and decorated with lyrics that throw back to everyone from Kiss to Chuck Palahniuk and Edgar Allen Poe, THE SCARLETS have a rare spark that is a diamond in the rough of rock music today.
