Alta Mirais a mixture of indie, progressive, alternative, and art rock, described by Brian Hurley of Radio Exile as calling pointedly on the heyday of solid rock and roll, whether one finds that in the pulsing art pretension of Talking Heads, the grunge sensibilities and harmonizing of Jerry Cantrell, the crooning sensitivity of Jeff Buckley, or the modest sprinkling of ambition found in The Bends era Radiohead. The Metroland says Alta Mira creates a sound that fuses anthemic pop-rock to ornate, expansive arrangements, a la XTC, ’90s Radiohead, or some of Tool’s early stuff. They’re handy with a time signature shift, they can rock a waltz with the best of ‘em, and singer Joe Michon-Huneau has a serious set of pipes.

 

The Emerald City Lights are a folk rock/alternative group formed in Albany, NY. Learn more at myspace.com/theemeraldcitylights.

 

The Tins formed in upstate New York and are currently based out of Buffalo. This Indie/pop/rock trio consists of three college friends, brought together by their passion for music. The Tins have been working collaboratively in various forms for over three years.

The instrumentation of the band consists of Adam Putzer, employed as guitarist and vocal personnel of the group, Mike Santillo, other vocal entity and wielder of dual keyboards (bass and synth tones), and Dave Muntner, delivering rhythmic magic that drives the often eclectic compositions.

 

Boyish Good Looks is a power pop punk rock quartet who writes, records, produces, and performs all of their own songs. With their lyrical ingenuity, memorable melodies, and positive attitudes, Boyish Good Looks is sure to brighten up your day!
