NYC/VT Indie Noise Rock
Surgeon General is a tastefully noisy rock outfit formed in Bennington, VT and now based between VT and NYC, taking cues from 90’s indie to mangle together a sound with the accessibility of classic singer-songwriter stylings with just enough noise to keep you on your toes. SG’s debut record “Live at Martha Hill” is an honest and raw one-night showcase of a band firing on all cylinders until the machine breaks down completely.

New Wave rocktronic dance pop
The three members of The Wavos, originally Jersey boys, have joined the ranks of NJ expats with Joe living in Myrtle Beach SC and Gordon and Tone at opposite ends of Manhattan NYC. Theirs is a modern rock band with influences ranging from the insanely creative ‘80s new wave and punk to the driving alternative rock of the ‘90s and ‘00s, with liberal doses of electro-pop and techno dance energy. Since 2009 they’ve been building enthusiastic audiences for their “new wave-o” dance parties, up and down the east coast, and at the same time honing their skills at writing and producing original alt-rock pop tunes and sneaking them into their shows.
