Cashier
Hailing from Lafayette, LA, Cashier emerges with a robust rock sound that resonates with powerful riffs and compelling vocals, showcased in their debut EP "The Weight" set for release on March 13, 2026 under Julia’s War Recordings. With influences from bands like Dinosaur Jr., Whirr, and Nothing, Cashier crafts a distinctive blend of heavy, melodic hooks that captivate audiences and navigate themes of uncertainty and human connection. Having already toured extensively across the U.S. and sharing stages with notable acts, Cashier's forthcoming project promises a profound exploration of the burdens we all carry in life.

Bliss Fields
Bliss Fields, formerly known as Iris, began as an indie/shoegaze band and reformed in the late 2010s with a new lineup. Their 2022 LP "Slowly, Forever" showed a growth in their sound, blending indie and alt-rock elements with shoegaze. Their 2024 self-titled EP, released on Sunday Drive Records, reflects influences from bands like Jimmy Eat World and The Smashing Pumpkins, adding anthemic hooks and distorted riffs to their evolving style.
