Teacher is comprised of Jon and Ari, old friends who split rocks together as teens in the Bay Area music scene. The two educators reconnected in Seattle’s cooler climes. With an uncanny sense of deja vu, the duo conjured Teacher’s first lessons in inspired bursts of furious recording. 2015’s EP1812 cassette on UK based Solid 7 Records compiled the results of those early sessions. A formidable live act, Teacher has brought its pedagogy to the stage on bills with Jucifer, the Skull, Saviours and other scene heavies. Combining 70s inspired riffs, psychedelic pop harmonies, and double entendres, Teacher’s debut vinyl full length drops June 17th on Pacific Northwest metal stronghold Devil’s Child Records. Robert Klem, renowned tattooer and artist behind the iconic Sleep’s Holy Mountain album cover handled the artwork.

Sarah St. Albin is a singer, pianist, and songwriter based in Seattle, WA. At the piano, her ballads are reminiscent of the emotional and compositional complexity of Tori Amos and the intimate warmth of singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez. Her first commercial release, Small Voice, has been described as blending "upbeat and sentimental pop" with "something dark-and-synthy." Think Fiona Apple meets Sara Bareilles, but Tori won't let go. Almost all of St. Albin's work builds from the piano. Sarah’s musical career began in childhood, while she was growing up on a farm to the northwest of Spokane, WA. She started by belting out Celine Dion songs to her chickens and singing along to Sarah McLachlan CDs while home alone. She wasn’t permitted to study music in early childhood, but her mother provided her with voice, piano, and guitar lessons starting at age fourteen. She began writing songs at age fifteen. Her first piano ballad was inspired by a local teenager who died tragically on a family vacation in Zimbabwe. Almost all of St. Albin’s early music focuses on painful relationships and loss. Sarah’s recording career began in her guitar teacher’s tiny studio in the mountains west of Spokane, WA, when she was sixteen. She completed two 3-track demos before graduating high school in 2005, and performed on Hollywood Boulevard during the Musician’s Institute’s first ever House Band Weekend in 2004. She released occasional singles during her undergraduate years at the University of Idaho (Moscow, ID), the University of Montana (Missoula, MT), and the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) – including self-produced “In the Garden” (2009) and “The Harvest of Moss” (2010). She began working on Small Voice with producer Robert Cheek (Band of Horses, Deftones, Tera Melos) in fall 2016, during her final year as a graduate student in English Literature at the University of Washington. Sarah’s study of Victorian literature, as well as her brief stint in the world of academia, offered valuable insight into the dilemma of speaking out while being actively silenced—a key theme in Small Voice. Since releasing Small Voice (2017) on her label, Desibelle Entertainment, Sarah has been preparing for her first tour - beginning with a string of Pacific Northwest benefit concerts. Her next single, "Impossible," will be out this summer!

I play hammered dulcimer, guitar, and piano, and combine them with synth sounds, beats, and layered vocals to create a primarily folktronica pop style.

Colorworks intuitively indite hyper-melodic pop creations driven by swooning harmonies and sun-chiming guitar orchestration. With shrewd coaction, the quartet features the impressive skills of songwriters and vocal duo Bret Dylan (guitar) and Nick Myette (bass) alongside percussionist Andrew Ginn and guitarist/keyboardist David Easton. The band has made many elated live new music fans in the NW with its high-voltage shows in support of their 2015 debut Joyla Red EP, looking forward to their upcoming 2016 releases. At their fun and generous shows, their sound is so powerful they add to their ear-popping originals cover medleys featuring the zest of the Zombies, the tonality of the Byrds, and the retro kick of the Kinks. The new double A-side release Dreams of Mangoes features two super-tasty brand new songs, “Daydreams” and “Pears and Mangoes.” These are vivid meditations on riding bikes, daydreaming, and buying fruit from the farmer’s market — reflecting the joyous thrills of the band. Two older fan favorites round out the EP as well. Videos are finished for three of the tracks, to be released over the coming weeks. Stay tuned, in full color, of course.

Seattle’s Radio Raheem formed in 2011 out of the ashes of several local bands, and not by chance. Founding members, bass player Paul Chistofferson, and guitar player Bryan Cohen were set on having fun this time around. They both immediately thought, from fashion to film to music, what’s more fun than the 1980’s. They began writing catchy upbeat rock, new wave and dance songs. Soon after saxophonist/keyboard player Trevor Rasmussen and knock out vocalist Josie (Josephine Howell) joined the band. Howell, mostly known for her blues recordings, and her role in the Seattle based Total Experience Gospel Choir brought her soulful vocals to the Radio Raheem’s songs; it was time to record! . The band recorded their first album “Down For The Get Down” at Seattle’s London Bridge studios with producer Jonathan Plum. The lead single “Push the Party” featuring Shock G of Digital Underground charted and peaked at #12 on college and indie radio stations across the country. To round out the band, Radio Raheem recruited former Mayfield Four drummer Zia Uddin. They quickly hit the live circuit, playing local venues, and garnering spots on festivals like Folk Life, Oktoberfest and the 2013 Rock and Roll Marathon. Radio Raheem’s shows are high energy, with lots of chanting and dancing. People always walk away sweaty, tired and happy. While excited about the accolades they received from the debut album, but not completely content with the outcome, the band entered the studio again to record a new 7 track EP titled “Raheem Rising”. For the new EP, they collaborated with producer Martin Feveyear. From the drop the goal of the new record was to streamline the sound, and write songs that pushed Josie’s voice front and center. Each track on the new EP builds on Radio Raheem’s blend of driving beats, catchy choruses and soulful vocals. Standout tracks like “Calling the World”, “Heart in 2”, and “Dance Dance Dance” prove that Radio Raheem’s brand of infectious 80’s pop will not disappoint people wanting to have a good time.

MARSALIS is a four piece band from Seattle/Vancouver. MARSALIS just released a self-titled EP in May 2016 with an album release show at The Roxy in Vancouver BC. With a rock/pop/and soul sound, Northwest Music Scene says "Their 2016 self-titled MARSALIS EP is required listening for anyone into locally-grown alternative rock with a strong hooky sensibility." Northwest Music Scene goes on to say... "Songs off this EP like “Feel Something” and “Where I Am” have strong memorable choruses to them, but are backed up with substantive instrumentation and lyrical content. The vocals brought by singer Dennis Zender are the icing on top of the cake, giving these songs the extra punch that they need to be put over the top and really stick in your head. His vocals soar over these songs incredibly well, and are mixed really well into the songs as to give them a lot of breathing room." Andrew Fickes of Northwest Indie Music says "MARSALIS has a knack for building arrangements that are multi-layered and emotionally rich. Zender’s vocals meld well with the stadium-sized power chords—a singular and distinct instrument—enrapturing listeners and undeniable in its arresting ability to provoke reflection."

Mission 253 is a 5-piece pop and rock band hailing from the Tacoma, Washington area. The lineup of the band is Tanner Peavey on ukulele and vocals, Will Bentley on keyboard and vocals, Henry Harrison on guitar, Sam Colella on bass, and Raja Drah on drums. Tanner and Will are the most prolific songwriters, but Henry and Sam occasionally contribute their varied songwriting a la George Harrison. The band met in June 2013 at a Tacoma rock and roll band camp, playing on stages across the city before the final performance on the Pantages stage. After the performance, the band continued to meet up, crafting upbeat pop originals like “Fly,” “You Are Mine” and other tracks that would end up on the band’s self-released fall 2014 Demo EP. In July 2015, Mission 253 placed first in the annual Lakefair Battle of the Bands, a tough competition in Olympia, Washington. Around the same time, the band once again hit the studio to record seven more tracks that would land on the fall 2015 album “Dawn/Dusk,” another self-released album. The band continued to play shows around the area, constantly writing and evolving new original songs with an emphasis on harmonies, unique chords, and complex drumming, culminating in the recording of “Roll Out” and “Get Ya Hooked,” two of the band’s strongest offerings of pop music, hinting at a funk and 80s pop influence on the band sure to be seen in their upcoming work.

Beautiful, powerful, hook-laden, and equal parts pop and rock. Radio-friendly while still being true to their independent roots, Chimestone delivers soaring and melodic vocals & guitars layered over driving bass and drums. Friendly to all audiences, with a passionate and engaging live show.
