LATEWAVES:

latewaves is a rock band from Asbury Park, NJ consisting of Mikey Pellegrino (vocals, guitar) Howie Cohen (bass, vocals) and Shawna Grabowski (drums). Drawing off influences from the quirky minor and 7th chords of 90's alt rock, and calling the angst and aggression of the early 2000's post hardcore/dawning of the emo scene; the group found their sound in the echoes of the past but brought a modern twist.

WELL WISHER:

Well Wisher is a four-piece from Asbury Park, New Jersey, that formed in 2016.From the opening notes of Well Wisher's debut full length, This is Fine, it's clear the band are not afraid to brandish mighty guitar riffage front and center. In fact, they tiptoe perfectly between sounds that, on hasty assessment, could be classified singularly as punk, alternative, or even pop rock; yet, they seem to draw only the best elements of each, avoiding the less desirable pitfalls associated with these genres. The resulting sound is ambitious and raw, dynamic and powerful.

THE EXTENSIONS:

The Extensions are the Asbury Park equivalent of Fleetwood Mac to Buckingham Nicks and The Hold Steady to Lifter Puller. They combine power-pop hooks, indie rock guitars, and post-punk keyboards to create a revitalized sound that’s more than the sum of its parts.
