Funeral Proposals
Spawned in Akron, Ohio, Funeral Proposals have forged a unique, indie rock sound that is all their own.
Curated by Holden Shumate (Vocals, Guitar) alongside Ryan Hanlon (Lead Guitar) and Sam Gucciardo (Drums), Funeral Proposals recently acquired Gavin Gunn (Bass) to solidify the most creative and live version of the band yet. Two small tours of the Midwest in 2018 breathed life into their first single, “Lizards” followed by “Beach Song”. The latest 2022 release “Easy Tiger” showcases their most ambitious songwriting so far. Funeral Proposals are currently working on an EP to be released in 2023.
Nora Marks
Nora Marks is a three-piece melodic rock band from Chicago that first sprang into action in early 2016. Brothers Matt and Michael Garrity, along with longtime friend Matt Galante, echo the DIY ethos of punk music with the catchy hooks of something more modern. After their debut LP “Opt Out” in 2021 comes the follow-up EP, “The Buzzing Of Flies” – five tracks with a noticeably darker edge than their predecessors. This record comes more carefully constructed, drawing from the musical insights gleaned from consistent gig life over the past eight months. Vocalist Michael Garrity notes: “We learned about the importance of writing in conjunction with each other rather than on top of each other.”
Colin B. Osborn of That’s Good Enough For Me called “Opt Out” “an unflinching exploration of self-doubt and anxiety.” While “The Buzzing Of Flies” certainly continues down that route, the band expands on thematics to include a deeper look at moments of dread and fear – and facing all of it head-on.
