Pan Arcadia has been making waves in the NYC music scene. With their high-energy performances and anthemic sound, the band has quickly gained a reputation for electrifying live shows and raw, unapologetic music. Their blend of dueling guitars, soulful crooning vocals, and powerful rhythms captures the essence of rock while pushing boundaries with modern sensibilities. Through sold out gigs at Bowery Ballroom and spotlights in Spin Magazine, the 5-piece has proven themselves a musical force not to be missed.

The band’s next LP, produced by Hugo White (Jessie Ware, The Maccabees, Jamie T, Matt Maltese) and Pete Harper (Sara Bareilles, Madison Cunningham, Theo Katzman) is due this fall.

If I told you New York’s alt rock scene is back, you might ask who’s responsible. Best known for their uninhibited, intoxicating live performances, Cab Ellis is the underground revival’s best-kept-secret. With a penchant for stage diving, spitting beer into mosh pits and splitting guitar strings center stage, the band stirs a certain chaos and confusion in young fans while conjuring a deep nostalgia for a bygone era in older listeners. At the age of sixteen, frontman Connor Abeles began rapping over YouTube beats at his family’s desktop computer in Hagerstown, Maryland. In 2018, Abeles moved to Los Angeles, where he met a group of USC jazz students and formed what would become the first full band iteration of Cab Ellis. While in LA, Cab Ellis released Nighttime OCD, their self-produced debut album, and The East Coast Hold On, with the help of legendary producer Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor). In 2021, Abeles moved across the country to New York. Since then, Cab Ellis has completed two national tours and has sold-out iconic venues like Bowery Ballroom and Baby’s All Right. In an age where everything is polished and perfect, Cab Ellis’ live show and sound are a complete rebellion. Backed by an army of 6 jazz musicians bucking against the confines of their traditional training, Abeles’ heartfelt, explosive energy is capable of uniting a room full of strangers into one anarchic being. Cab Ellis is set to release their third studio album in April 2025.

Nora, is a singer-songwriter whose natural instincts always seem to go against the grain. This quality is evident in the melodies, timing, and overall sound of his unique vocal style, all while maintaining a refreshing sense of novelty. His upcoming project, Alternative Futures Are Possible, embodies the spirit of the modern generation, while drawing on influences from past decades to create a distinctive, boundary-pushing sound. Nora’s live act is as if Title fight, iggy pop and tame impala formed a band. The live band features NORA, Cam Kahin and Daniel Little.
