?ORI w. MAGICK FLAVOUR STATION, Toadstool, Rocking Rodents

?ORI is a Minneapolis based Midwest emo/rock artist. The band consists of Ori and AJ alternating vox, guitar and bass, in addition to Marshall on drums. MAGICK FLAVOUR STATION is the recording project of Raymond K. Self described as “lo fi lullabies for college aged cig smokers” MFS pulls influences from vaporwave, indie folk, and trip hop to make a dreamy mess of emotions, all recorded on cassette equipment. Toadstool is a rock n roll band based in Minneapolis. This five-piece group is heavily inspired by classic rock, jazz, indie, and R&B. Their demo EP, “Germination,” features a mix of space rock, rap, indie, funk, and yacht rock. With smooth vocals, epic guitar solos, floaty piano, and funky grooves on the drums and bass, Toadstool will melt your brain. Rocking Rodents is an indie rock project created by 5 best friends based in Duluth, MN. The band consists of Calliope and Alex on vocals, Xander on bass, Alec on drums, and Cory on guitar. While their instrument composition is traditional, their style is not. This rodent rock is witty, fun, and contemplative, offering commentary on the state of our world from a teenage perspective that is often dismissed.
