ARTISTS
Canada
Since the band's inception in 2004, Canada has proven themselves the answer to the once stuffy, misaligned, garage scene that largely monopolized Detroit's weary image in the minds of the masses. This is truly what music from the mitten is all about...
Chris Bathgate
One of the leaders of the Michigan indie folk scene, Chris Bathgate writes seminal songs that are all at once new and old, rock yet sometimes not roll, but all seem to reel you in with the honesty and intensity found in his voice, lyricism, and musical depth...
City Center
Like picture cut-outs from a tape-hiss dream, Fred Thomas and Ryan Howard's City Center is an echo of reverb, a wash of loops, and an spattering of stereo pan.
Cotton Jones
Principal members Michael Nau and Whitney McGraw of Cotton Jones, examine new realms of psychedelia-tinged rock, dripping with nostalgia and fuzzed-out melodies. Turning a new leaf from past musical ventures, Cotton Jones are attracting an audience all their own...

Hezekiah Jones
Philly native Raphael Cutrufello, bohemian folkster behind Hezekiah Jones, crafts intimate and memorable vocal melodies, and seemlessly marries them to an eclectic cast of characters, places, and things of memory...
Lightning Love
Redefining the term "power trio", Lightning Love has blasted out a place for themselves in the party pop genre with elephant guns a blazin'. Like a bull in a China shop, these pop debutants can carouse with the best of them.
That's Him! That's The Guy!
