STRANGELOVE - THE DEPECHE MODE EXPERIENCE

Hailing from US/UK, the Grammy-nominated Allstar lineup in Strangelove-The DEPECHE  MODE Experience delivers a career spanning, pitch perfect “best of” concert that  transports listeners through time and touches on several key points in Depeche Mode’s  40+ year career. Songs from throughout the Depeche Mode canon of OVER FIFTY chart topping hits are lovingly recreated, with the look, feel and youthful energy of a classic era DM arena show. No detail of STRANGELOVE’s presentation has been overlooked;  and stage set pieces and in-show costume changes reflect different eras of Depeche  Mode’s story. 

"They do it to such fine detail it's scary" (Martin Gore-Depeche Mode) 

New Moon on Monday is the true fan's tribute to Duran Duran.  As dedicated students of DD’s iconic sound and style, this band is no cheap imitation.  

Instead, it’s a group built on honouring these pioneers of the New Romantic era and the British Invasion of MTV. 

With passion and precision, New Moon performs an impressive array of the catalogue, from massive hits like “Girls on Film” to beloved lesser-knowns such as “Hold Back the Rain.” 

 An often neglected aspect of Duran tributes, however, is the fashion!  New Moon’s meticulous wardrobe and stage effects reflect the major influence of designers such as Vivienne Westwood on Duran's overall aesthetic. You won’t see cheap wigs or cheap digs when New Moon hits the stage.

New Moon on Monday is the premiere Duran tribute:  capturing the fire, the charm, the style and the craft - and bringing it to you.

Henry Morris is a masterful storyteller whose sound evokes a haunting blend of Chris Isaak's timeless melancholy and Lana Del Rey's cinematic allure. 

Channeling a nearly forgotten era of raw, evocative artistry, Morris brings vintage soul into a modern spotlight—like sun-faded film reels rolling through a dusty projector. 

His debut album, Jawbreaker, plays like the soundtrack to a Joaquin Phoenix indie film—moody, magnetic, and deeply human. 

With a voice both nostalgic and new, Henry Morris invites listeners into a world where every lyric feels like a secret and every melody, a memory.

Cornerstone Presents:

ARCHER OH

with SURELY TEMP and CHICANO MOSH

(Moreno Valley, CA) - California indie garage rock band Archer Oh consists of Arturo “Archie” Medrano on vocals and guitar, Pedro Hernandez on drums, Diego Jacuinde on lead guitar, and Juan Cabrera on bass. Humbly beginning in the backyards of the Inland Empire in 2017, through their energetic live performances, DIY work ethic and goofy personalities, the group has amassed a cult following that in spite of the odds, increasingly platforms the band to new heights. 

By 2022, Archer Oh had shared stages with Destroy Boys, Vundabar, Beach Goons, Six60, and Late Night Drive Home, embarked on two national tours supporting The Red Pears, and closed out the year with their first headline tour, including 3 consecutive sold out headline shows at The Paramount, Constellation Room, and The Glass House Pomona- where they sold all 800 tickets in celebration of Gradients - their first record together as a band. The following year solidified Archer Oh as a formidable touring machine, with the band playing 84 shows in 2023 - including The Channel Surfing Tour - their first full-length headline tour that included performances at Treefort Fest, Austin Psych Fest, Norman Music Festival, concluding with a headline show at The Belasco in LA, followed by two North American headline tours direct supporting Dogstar (Keanu Reeves) in mostly sold-out rooms of up to 5000 capacity, and a headline pacific northwest around Freakout Fest. More headline shows and another Dogstar tour followed the next year, and fans saw the band announce their biggest shows ever: a hometown return to Desert Daze Festival in Lake Perris, and a show with The Red Pears at LA’s The Shrine. 

Archer Oh is set to release their debut studio album, The Internal Theater in February 2025 via AWAL/Sony. The record was engineered by Sean Cook at John Congleton’s LA studio “Animal Rites” and mastered by Howie Weinberg. Just like the years past, Archer Oh is ready to continue to win over even more people in 2025.

LaMP ft Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger, Ray Paczkowski

On a magical night at Nectar’s, in Burlington, VT, in December of 2018, three musical masters — Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowski — came together with alchemical synthesis, and created a fresh, so-tight-it's-free sound, permeated with technical prowess and a deep-pocket punch. The packed house fortunate enough to be in attendance that night witnessed the birth of something very special: LaMP. 

Metzger, described by The Village Voice as “…an ace guitarist of a thousand styles,” and a full-time member of the beloved Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, tested the decades-strong synergy between Lawton and Paczkowski, forged from their time playing with Trey Anastasio Band and their duo project Soule Monde. The melodic and harmonic interplay of Paczkowski’s swirling organ and clavinet dancing with Metzger’s acrobatic melodies on telecaster, both driven by Lawton's unflappable backbeat, produces music that is immediate and irresistible. 

It's the chemistry that drives LaMP's newest studio album, "One Of Us," which arrives on March 21 via Royal Potato Family. The trio previewed the record with the lead single, “Jasper’s World.” 

"One of Us" follows LaMP’s 2024 release, "Live At Nectar’s," captured at the famed Burlington club where the band formed. The new studio effort — cut at Ben Collette’s Tank Recording Studio in Burlington — marks the trio’s first since releasing their 2020 self-titled debut album. 

“This record has more of a gritty, edgy sound to it compared to our first one,” Metzger said of "One Of Us." “The first album felt clean and smooth. 'One Of Us' has more attitude. It still emphasizes melody, groove, and accessibility like the first record, but this one feels like we’ve got some more miles under our belt, which makes sense since 2024 was a big year for our little band. 

“Most of these tunes started from beats Russ sent around, and Ray or I would put down a harmonic or melodic idea we thought captured the mood of the groove,” Metzger added. 

“LaMP definitely started with a sound right from the first show and it continues to grow as we write new songs,” Lawton said. “Someone will come in with a song — or I’ll pass along a rhythmic concept — and we’ll build from there.” 

“It’s the next sounds of three musicians who are playing what they feel, and feeling it as one,” Paczkowski added. “The album is called One Of Us, but if there is a theme to this record, it might be ‘three of us.’ We’re all writers in the sense of courting some kind of inspiration, a melody, a rhythm, a vibe; feeling some kind of spark and bringing it to the band. The goal was to get a fire going.”

STRUNG OUT & AGNOSTIC FRONT

wit MURPHY'S LAW and LA ARMADA

Strung Out -

If you listened to Songs Of Armor And Devotion with no prior knowledge of Strung Out, you probably wouldn’t guess that the California band has been together for almost 30 years – such is the intensity and fresh energy of these 13 songs. Produced by Cameron Webb, who was behind the helm of 2009’s Agents Of The Underground, it’s a record that brims with the same ferocious fire the band had at the very start of its career when front man Jason Cruz was still a teenager, but which also demonstrates how far the California five-piece have evolved as songwriters, musicians and people.
“I don’t want to be 19 years old again,” says Cruz, “but the fact that we still have that energy, but we’re not 19 years old is a real feather in our cap. We’re older, but I’m so grateful that I still have a lot to do. I hope people hear this record, and they know that we’re not tired, that I still have ideas.”

Those ideas flow throughout this record both musically and thematically, the vulnerability and uncertainty of Cruz’s lyrics lying in stark contrast to the fierce and ferocious pummeling nature of its songs. That juxtaposition has always been present in Strung Out’s songs, but for this record, that push and pull has become the central basis and focus of this record, as his heart and thoughts struggle to make sense of the chaos of the world at large. That’s not to say this album has the answers, but in analyzing everything, it offers the listener – and Cruz himself – the various contradictory paths of life that, hopefully, can lead to some kind of truth or understanding. 
“Some songs can be armor: they can repel and they can guard you,” explains Cruz. “And they can also bring you comfort and speak of love and belonging to something. To be a good and gentle person, you have to put up a little bit of armor, but that armor never works, because you’re so caring and sensitive and vulnerable, that your heart is going to be displayed on that armor anyway. There are so many thoughts and feelings in my head I think that with this album I just opened up the pen and let it go to explore the duality of having to defend and protect what’s inside, and at the same time make it available for the world.”
Much of Cruz’s vulnerability stems from the death of someone he was incredibly close to. That’s something which has exaggerated and exacerbated Cruz’s emotional fragility and continues the spiritual and philosophical journey he says he’s found himself on in recent years. At the same time, though, these songs are also infused with a spirit of hope and defiance.
“I lost my best friend six or seven months ago,” explains Cruz. “It was right before we started writing this record, and that really put a shadow on things. Some of these songs – especially “Monuments” and “Bloody Knuckles” – reflect that loss. But that’s what’s always made our band work. The music is this metal machine and then you get these vocals that express this vulnerability in a melodic way – and there’s love and there’s searching in all that machine. This record starts out hopeful and then it kind of degrades. It sobers and ends with loss. But there are so many things on this record that I’m still figuring it out.”
All those thoughts and feelings swirl together on this record as Cruz – who refers to himself and his vulnerability as the “flesh in the machine” – tries to find some sort of resolution. The moody “Daggers” tells a story of personal turmoil within the backdrop of an increasingly dystopian America, while the grief and sadness contained with “Monuments” is offset by the pulsating, defiant frenzy of the song’s tune. “Disappearing City” blends a raucous energy with a sense of resignation but – importantly – not defeat, “Under The Western Sky” brims with Strung Out’s trademark sense of melody and coruscating aggression, and the insistent ebb and flow of album closer “Bloody Knuckles” is ravaged with both a despair and a kind of beauty at the same time. 
Yet while these songs are fuelled by a power and aggression, the band – completed by guitarists Jake Kiley and Rob Ramos, bassist Chris Aiken and new drummer (since 2018) RJ Shankle – infused them with plenty of nuance, too. Some of that is thanks to the lessons learned from last year’s acoustic yet expansive acoustic EP Black Out The Sky, something Cruz says was a necessary step the band had to take in order to then make this record. Underneath it all, however, is the same desperate need to write these songs and get them out of his system.
“This opportunity I’ve been given, and everything I’ve been doing, I don’t have any say in it,” Cruz says. “I don’t have a choice. I have to fucking do this. I have things inside of me that swell up when I go through this, but it’s what people put into what they hear and what they then take out of it that’s the magic. I need to do this, but if it’s not making a connection, I have no right to be here. My favorite part about America is the pain of the poor people and what they create out of it – the culture that the poorest people of this country have created. From that came blues, jazz, rock n roll, and, to me, coming from nothing and creating something is everything to me.” 
You can hear how that is – how true that still is – from the beginning to the end of Songs Of Armor And Devotion. It’s a punk record, but it’s also much more than that. It’s a political record that addresses the state we’re in, but at its core is a heart and humanity –and a belief in that humanity – that overrides everything else. It’s pain and sadness and hope and rebellion all wrapped into one powerful statement that also serves as a culmination of the band’s three decades together. And while the record sees Strung Out still writing at the height of their abilities, at the same time, when Cruz reflects back on these songs, he thinks they represent something monumental for the band, even if he’s not entirely sure what that actually is.
“I find that it’s time for a new adventure,” he says. “I feel like I’ve given what I needed to give to Strung Out. I feel like we did what we needed to do and it’s time to move on. I’ve grown. I’m not angry like I used to be – I feel like this was the end of something, and now it’s time for a new life. I look back on the record and I think ‘Done.’ For me personally, it’s a new beginning. We still have a lot left and as long as we listen to each other and we care about what each other has to say, I don’t see an end for Strung Out. I just don’t want to repeat things that I’ve done. I can’t write like that anymore.”

Agnostic Front-

A Godfather figure is understood to be a purveyor of genre; a pioneer in a particular realm of creation. Perhaps more importantly, and after over 3 decades molding the Hardcore realm, AGNOSTIC FRONT have protected and nurtured Hardcore music in such a way that it still exists healthily & in its proper form, today. As a band that has cultivated their reputation with honesty, and that prioritizes affirming their social messages to the world, GET LOUD! is well suited as the title for their 12th, full length studio album. Although the sociopolitical climate has transformed considerably since the release of the  United Blood  EP in 1983, the basic concepts of political corruption and social unrest have only been enhanced, and with them the fuel on AGNOSTIC FRONT’s fire. “We’ve always had a voice; had a lot to say. We’re always screaming for a change” says frontman Roger Miret. “Speak up, get loud, say what you have to say. Be the change you want to see in the world. You can’t change the whole thing, but you can make little differences that will matter, eventually.”

For such a memorable album, the reappearance of Cause For Alarm artist Sean Taggart was vital in order to deliver a piece of art that perfectly combined the old school with the current state of the world. Bringing the CFA characters back to life in a new age, the artwork will be familiar to AGNOSTIC FRONT fans the world over, but still maintains a modern freshness. When CFA was initially released in 1986 it was a distinguished and prosperous time for the world of Hardcore, and it is that time, and that vibe, that this album aspires to reassert.

GET LOUD! is compiled of 14 tracks that are nothing short of classic, home grown, NewYork Hardcore, but still includes some thrashy and punky variety. The title track carries a common message for the entire album. It’s a moody and riveting version of “speak up, aren’t you sick of the same day to day routine? It’s time to make that change and stop climbing up that same exact wall. That’s what GET LOUD! is all about.” says Miret. Songs like “ I Remember ” are important glimpses into the lives of the men of AGNOSTIC FRONT and thus tie in strongly with their recent release of Ian McFarland’s Documentary: THE GODFATHERS OF HARDCORE (2017). Although it was written after the release of the film, the track serves almost as a theme song for the documentary in which Miret and founding guitarist Vinnie Stigma recall their pasts and their most groundbreaking records; even first meeting one another. Songs like “Conquer And Divide” speak to the current state of where we as humans are today. “It’s like all the government has ever wanted is to divide the people, and then come in and conquer. I see it happening today; social media is a huge let down in that way. Now everyone has a voice, and I get it, but I can’t believe how quickly some people are willing to jump headfirst into something that doesn’t care about them” Miret explains. “Power of expression, power of the mind, freedom of speech, live free or die, stand up and resist, gotta fight to exist, break down the walls that divide.”

The raw and emotional journey of “THE GODFATHERS OF HARDCORE” can be

credited as having some affect on the course of this record cycle. “It was nothing like I expected, it was mind blowing because it was SO US” Miret reflects. “It was pretty incredible to have that, for my family, the future of my family. Put something out there digitally, and it’s out there forever. I’m really happy we never did anything like this, that this is it. It will hold through the tests of time. It’s not just a movie about punk, or hardcore, or metal, it’s about humanity and it’s awesome.”

An old school band in a new era can be an adjustment, but there’s something to be said for the technological advances that have enabled AGNOSTIC FRONT to write this new album, even with distances between the core members of the band. Ideas, lyrics, and riffs were tossed around amongst the guys in a digital universe, and once solid skeletons were formed, the final portion of the writing, the finessing, and the recording began in person. Produced by Miret himself, longtime friend Paul Miner of Buzz Bomb Studios then tracked, recorded, mixed, and mastered the album. GET LOUD! is now arranged, groomed, and ready to make its debut to fans the world over.

“Something real. I think that’s the secret to our longevity. People see us, and they see something that’s real and genuine, and they want to be a part of that. Who wants to be a part of something that’s fake? If you feel a connection to something and it feels real, you wanna know about it and be a part of it.”

YOUNG GUN SILVER FOX

Musical chemistry is a rare, intangible thing. But for Andy Platts and Shawn Lee, the creative force  behind Young Gun Silver Fox the unmalleable, unspoken connection that gives their work such a  unique and distinctive sound was apparent from their first experiences in a studio together.  

Alongside their now decade plus long tenure as Young Gun Silver Fox where they have built up a  growing fanbase which includes the likes of Hans Zimmer, Jeff Lyne, and The Black Pumas to name a  few , both have already received plaudits for their individual creative excursions. American born, UK  based musician Shawn Lee through his own extensive catalogue of recordings with the likes of Shawn  Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra and his well-received solo albums, as well as a go to award winning  producer and multi-instrumentalist for the likes of James Morrison and Joel Culpepper, and more  recently musical director and drummer for the legendary Asha Puthli in Europe, USA & Australia .  Meanwhile the multi-talented Andy Platts is the chief songwriter and leader of much loved Brit-soul  sensations Mamas Gun. He’s also clocked up a plethora of song writing collaborations with legends  such as Rod Temperton and Brian Jackson, as well as writing songs for the forthcoming album of  rising UK soul star MT Jones for this forthcoming debut album and they both co wrote the title track  of the latest Take That album ‘This Life’ which went to number 1 in the UK charts.  

Of their initial hook up Shawn explains that “It was about 2006 when we came across each other on  Myspace and I checked out Andy and saw that he knew a couple of the same people, and I was  impressed with his talents so I sent him a message saying we should hook up and do something, and  he never got back to me of course! But maybe it was around 2009 when we first spoke.”  

Taking their name from Andy’s standing as youngest band member and Shawn’s resplendent silver  locks, and sensing they were kindred musical spirits, the duo set about crafting their 2015 debut  West End Coast, bonding over a shared love of the smooth sounds of ’70s pop-soul and artist’s such  as Ned Doheny, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan and the breezy, west coast stylings that had been in Shawn’s  musical DNA since his youth. “I remember at one point thinking Steely Dan was the ultimate group  because they had hit singles and were on the radio and I’m like ‘man they’re accessible and they’re  in the mainstream but their music is so sophisticated and so musical and they have the best playing  and the best arrangements.’ I just thought if you could do that then you’ve won, that’s the ultimate  thing musically for me that if I could do something like that, that had all those qualities but was still  accessible then you’re killing it. Music like that and bands like that are rare, it’s a really special thing.  And there’s something about Young Gun Silver Fox that’s winning on those two fronts.”  

The release of their 2015 debut album West End Coast was timely, riding in at the beginning of an  overdue reappraisal of the previously maligned world of music that became (unfairly) grouped under  the then fashionable ‘Yacht Rock’ tag, and Young Gun Silver Fox came straight out the box with a  perfectly curated record that fused all the best components of mid ’70s to early ’80s contemporary  pop and soul. Much to their own surprise, the band immediately found its audience. “We were  surprised,” explains Andy, “we were making it for us and we thought we’d try and put it out and it  would be great to even play it live but we had no idea that it would find the audience that we hoped  it might find, and we got really lucky in places like Holland where it really took off and we were  playing big venues.”  

If West End Coast lit a musical spark then follow up AM Waves, released in 2018 fanned the flames  and helped turn Young Gun Silver Fox into a self-made success story, showing a growing synergy  between the two musicians that shone through on tunes like the deep, funky pop of ‘Caroline’,  ‘Lenny’s deceptively poignant balladry and the beachside disco of ‘Kingston Boogie’. “After the first  album was done it was like ‘yeah, this really works and this feels good’ and we’d only just scratched  the surface of it” says Andy. “So by the time we hit AM Waves we were really confidently digging in  and chomping at the bit really.”  

Continuing to build on the reputation forged from their recorded output, Shawn and Andy followed  up with stellar live shows and a touring schedule that took them round the world, finding fans in the  many far flung corners of the world and securing the endorsement of musical legends. “I was  surprised to discover how many Brazilian musicians were fans when I was in Rio doing some  recording,” enthuses Shawn, “and I was very pleased to hear that Jeff Lynne from ELO was a big fan.” 

2020’s Canyons cemented the band as a permanent fixture in people’s hearts and minds and  elevated them to the status afforded on their own musical heroes, nailing the tricky skill of making  deceptively layered and richly arranged music sound effortless. Whether through the easy rollin’  groove of opener ‘Kids’, euphoric horn blasts of ‘Dream Woman’ or masterful song writing of closing  piano ballad ‘All This Love’, this was band revelling in reaching new heights.  

The pandemic induced lockdown provided time for the duo to reflect but not to rest on their laurels,  and October 2022 saw the band release their fourth work to date, the aptly titled Ticket To Shangri  La, a culmination of everything the band do best, and a record that transports you to musical  paradise the second the piano stabs of opener ‘Still Got It Goin’ On’ kick in and the one-two sucker  punch of second track (and the albums lead single) ‘West Side Jet’ lifts you off your feet with its four  to the floor rhythm and joy-inducing chorus.  

The last albums genesis came from the sharing of songs and recordings online, with each member  embellishing the other’s tunes, whether that was Andy adding melodies and lyrics or Shawn laying  down extra instrumentation. Says Andy of the process; “When Shawn sends me stuff all the musical  variables are done so it’s out of my hands and that’s great but it’s horrible as well, because I get to  see Shawn’s mind working and he’s given me his stuff but I might think ‘I wouldn’t put that chord  there I’d do that’ and I think ‘oh fuck, how do I work with this!’ I really enjoy that because it keeps  you on your toes and you don’t rest on your laurels, you gotta bring your ‘A’ game and scrub up!”  And although Shawn’s desire was to up the groove factor on this album, as always it comes down to  choosing the absolute best songs. “I knew it was gonna be coming down to what the best songs are, I  do think it’s an album of bangers though, the whole first five or six songs hit you and there hasn’t  been another one of our records like that, it’s strong man.”  

Three years later the band are preparing to release their fifth album ‘Pleasure’, after an insanely busy  year completing their largest US tour to date in 2024 as well as touring Europe, including supporting  The Black Pumas both in the US & UK, who personally asked for them to support them, as they are  such big fans of the band.  

‘Pleasure’ took on a different and more personable recording process, after four albums with both  musicians laying down ideas in their own studios and sending files back and across via email. Shawn  in London and Andy in Norfolk, this album Shawn travelled to Andy’s studio The Prairie for four days  in December 2024 and back again in January 2025. The duo commenced furiously writing & recording  ideas from a completely blank slate. Over half of the album's 10 songs were birthed from these in-person  sessions. This was a real game changer and evolution of the game for Andy and Shawn.  

The only additional musicians on the album are the horn players. Nichol Thomson trombone &  arrangements, Tom Walsh on trumpet & Graeme Blevins on sax and flute. The rest is handled by Andy and  Shawn. Andy engineered these sessions and the album was later mixed & finished at Shawn’s London  studio with Pierre Duplan, helping engineer and mix it.  

“At this point YGSF are continuing to build on their back catalogue and we are constantly thinking about  using our collective strengths to evolve”, explains Andy. 

What happens next is open to fate, but one certainty is that Andy and Shawn will continue to come  up with the goods. “The ‘West Coast’ vibe was really a jumping off point initially,” says Andy. “The  more music we make, the more it really is all about what Shawn & I do together naturally, and so  that’s evolving the MO of the whole project all the time in a really natural way.”
