MORE INFORMATION

Husbands

Husbands plays landlocked beach pop that sidequests Krautrock, garage rock, and tropicalia. OKC-based songwriters Danny Davis and Wil Norton got their start directing a Godzilla musical at their college and then began sharing snippets of lofi grunge pop ideas that came together in their first album, Golden Year. This album caught local label Clerestory AV's attention, which assisted Husbands release its first vinyl LP, After the Gold Rush Party, on an imprint label, Cowboy 2.0 Records.

After the Gold Rush Party was featured on NPR's Heavy Rotation and Spotify's New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, and Feel-Good Indie Rock playlists. Past performances included an OKC release show that drew 550 attendees and a stint opening for Smash Mouth (what Wil and Danny both likely consider their finest moment as a band). Pre-COVID, Husbands was slated to play bills at SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, Norman Music Festival, and a New York City release show at Baby's All Right.

Not to be deterred, Danny and Wil got back to songwriting and put together their third LP, Full-on Monet, released in January '22. Their single, "Must be a Cop," released June 6, 2021, has been featured on Spotify's All New Indie, Today's Indie Rock, and Grade A playlists (among other editorial playlists), and has received coverage from prominent bloggers including David Dean Burkhart, BIRP!, and Indie Shuffle.

Plastic Picnic

Plastic Picnic are a Brooklyn band made up of Pacific Northwest transplants who found one other after moving to New York. Their indie dream-rock combines shimmering synths, atmospheric guitar, and bittersweet lyrics that deal with loss, isolation, and anxiety.

Recorded in a cabin in upstate New York, their debut album, As Long As You Need, explores the space between joy and sorrow, searching for hope amidst dark times. The album reached #10 Most Added on NACC radio and #25 for Sub-Modern Albums.

Plastic Picnic’s orchestral blend of indie-rock has garnered them song placements on TV shows such as Homeland and Shameless, as well as festival appearances. Following a set at Governor's Ball and a west coast tour, they’re set to tour further in 2023.
