Heffner
Bursting onto the Athens, GA guitar music scene in Fall 2019, Heffner is a 5 piece outfit made of members from all corners of the Athens scene. Capable of both breakneck speeds and high school prom-paced balladry, Heffner uses its genre-neutral songwriting to craft guitar-driven power pop with occasional reaches into R&B and bedroom pop. Currently hard at work on their debut LP, Heffner is beginning to book shows across the southeast. Behind the strength of their first single, Ydekh, Heffner is splashing through the noise with the urgent, catchy hooks they are becoming known for.

Deep State
Deep State was formed in 2014 in Athens, GA.
They ask for help from those who came before them and the ones who will come afterward. The transmissions are self-conscious nonsense (globules, lumps, etc.) funneled through the only sonic structures they can afford. Flipping hot dogs became guitar wails. A pint became a chorus. They make zippy, electric songs.
Though Deep State may stumble, they are doing the best they can in your city.
The group is made of Taylor Chmura, Christian DeRoeck, Michael Gonzalez, and Brandon Page.
If you were to ride a train from LA to Capistrano, the train would eventually accelerate to top speed. You would see back alleys belonging to nameless warehouses. Deep State is the orange-vested man who looks up from lunch and waves to you.
