Internet Islands is the long-term musical collaboration between drummer Anderson Chabdeo, vocalist Miyon, guitarist Matt Petino, and bassist/arranger Ryan Renoud.  True to its name, this Atlanta Indie rock band’s origins are not to be found in childhood friendships or local meetings at a coffee shop, but instead the chance, or perhaps fate encounter of having all answered the same Craigslist ad.  Brought together, sight unseen, and purely by a desire to create, Internet Islands is a true reflection of Atlanta.  A cosmopolitan band that is both modern and retro, masculine and feminine, popular and avant-garde.

Since their initial debut Internet Islands has quickly developed a dedicated following both locally and internationally.  In a musical environment where bands are appearing less and less relevant, Internet Islands has been consistently praised for their technical prowess, on-stage energy and engrossing visual performance.

Couch Cult is a three-piece band from Georgia (USA) that blends alternative rock, pop, and grunge influences into a unique sound. Formed at the end of 2022, the band consists of Matthew Tinker on Bass, Case Snedecor on Drums, and Robin Schaffer on vocals.

Formed from jamming together in their basement, Couch Cult teamed up with Atlanta-based producer Winton Josephs to release their first single “Psilo” on May 19th, 2023. Together with their second single “Smile, Baby” released on June 16th of the same year, the songs are from their newly released self-titled project. The 5-song EP explores themes of altered perception, introspection, and the struggle to find authenticity in a post-pandemic world.
