Well Kept
Elijah Johnston
Elijah Johnston started making bedroom indie rock in 10th grade, with three albums worth of material released between 2016-2018. Inspired by 2010's lo-fi rock icons such as (Sandy) Alex G and Mac Demarco, Elijah worked mostly in secret and in silence. In January of 2018, he played his first show, and began playing seriously in his second home of Athens later in the year.
Working with friend and esteemed Athens producer Andrew Blooms, Elijah and his band crafted his first studio EP, Wonderful, in January 2019, released March 29, 2019. His first studio full length, Strangers, was recorded in summer 2019 with Tommy Trautwein (Jester, Well Kept), to be released in January 2020.

The Forum
After sending out a Gainesville Craigslist ad, Michael Higgins met his bandmates Jacob Farrell and Nick Wheeler in late 2015. The Forum came to fruition soon after and their music took a form which can only be described as indie-rock incorporating modern pop elements with ruminative lyricism. Ethan Klohr officially joined The Forum in late 2018 as their drummer and has since developed a unique rhythm in The Forum's music.
Playing together across the Southeast, The Forum have been given the opportunity to play on line ups with artists like Colony House, Japanese Breakfast and many more.
As the band continues to grow their sound, follow The Forum on their journey to prove that no matter how someone is feeling, music can be an introspective avenue of relief and a means of conveying the deepest of emotions.
