The Sheila Divine is one of Boston’s most beloved underground rock bands, forging a distinctive sound that blends soaring post-punk, emotionally charged indie rock, and shoegaze-inflected atmospherics. Led by the unmistakable voice of Aaron Perrino, the band has cultivated a fiercely loyal following for nearly three decades through its explosive loud/quiet dynamics, cathartic live performances, and a string of acclaimed releases culminating in 2026’s The Middle Ages.

Dummy Ache’s music shimmers, swells, and explodes, building epic soundscapes where fragile melodies crash headlong into walls of reverb and noise. Part shoegaze, part '90s indie rock, part psych, Dummy Ache takes cues from Yo La Tengo, Galaxie 500, Slowdive, Pavement, and Dinosaur Jr. while carving out something raw, massive, and mesmerizing.
Tysk Tysk Task is a Lowell, Massachusetts indie grunge quartet led by singer-songwriter Samantha Hartsel, blending fuzz-drenched guitars, emotionally raw songwriting, and the spirit of '90s alternative rock with melodic indie sensibilities. Fresh off appearances at Boston Calling Music Festival and a string of acclaimed releases, the band has earned a reputation for cathartic live performances that fuse vulnerability, riot grrrl energy, and shoegaze textures into a sound all their own.
