CLIENTS & SAMPLES
SHORTLY
"Mapping" slowly crescendos into a heavier second movement layered with ambient guitars and huge drum sounds, while "Haven" hits immediately with an off-kilter rhythm and arpeggio guitar line beneath Maniak's attentive vocal. - Broadway World

MAT KEREKES
Perhaps some of the heaviest lyrics and messages lie within the transcripts of Ruby. It’s an album that will pleasure just as it will terrify and tear. On Ruby, Kerekes is honest, transparent, reflective, and perfectly himself. Great job, Mat. - Substream Mag

TEAMONADE
The song has a classic indie rock push-pull dynamic between the vocals and rhythm section. Okoro goes off on a rhythmic tangent before snapping back to the hook under mounting waves of fuzz. Like the best indie rock, “Do & Die” thrives on an overabundance of personality. - Afro Punk

CULT POWER
Their apocalyptic-esque track “Velvet Wave” bridges the gap into the unknown with an inviting tone. Tom Martin, guitarist/bassist of the band, said the track had a “party-like” feel to it. Layered, silvery vocals and gritty guitar with reverb brings the track to heightened place of rock music. Poetic and refined, but still rough around the edges, Velvet Wave is a catchy earworm. - New Noise Mag

GOOD PERSONALITIES
With a raw but sonic, blissed-out sound, Good Personalities is a fresh throwback to the Breeders-era ‘90s where gritty, slasher punk riffs combined with shoegaze ambiance and nods to classic pop melodies. It’s a sound that works incredibly well and one that is invigorating and exciting for the local scene. - Toledo.com

YOUNG & HEARTLESS
Compared to their earlier sound, $ERMON is like the How It Feels To Be Something On to their Diary, the Peregrine to their The End of the Ring Wars, the Alchemy Index to their Illusion of Safety, the Nearer My God to their The Albatross, or for something less in the emo niche, the Kid A to their The Bends. - Brooklyn Vegan

EQUIPMENT
Chump lands just shy of 15 minutes, and somehow it feels even shorter. And while brief, it’s almost impossible not to love this thing. At first glance, Chump can feel like a big hearty stew of Stoup’s influences; for instance, you’ll taste Weezer, Elliot Smith, even hints of Death Cab For Cutie and Modest Mouse. - The Alternative

TIM KORENICH
Toledo-based singer-songwriter Tim Korenich is gearing up to release his new LP, What A Weird Thing, on October 30th. The record’s tunes are heartfelt and vibey, lying close to the nebulous indie of The National; at times, I’m tempted to call them folk songs, but they drift and dive with the verve of glistening post-rock. - The Alternative

SECRET SPACE
The original version of The Window Room was released last June on Equal Vision Records and was produced by Will Yip. This time around, the band kept it in-house, having drummer Steven Blake Warstler produce the record in his new studio “The Master Bedroom,” focusing on one production style and one vibe. - Shockwave Magazine

THE KELSEYS
The maximalist ‘80s-pop-inspired sound of So Little to Say is a far cry from their previous releases, exploring new sonic pallets and lyrical depths, from the complacency of the everyman to the transience of growth. The sound and lyrics of So Little to Say venture into uncharted territory for The Kelseys, but, at its core, the EP embodies creativity fostered through the interconnectedness of its creators: Josh Cukier, Evan Dennis, Peter Kwitny, and Liam O’Toole. - Vents Magazine

JACOB SIGMAN
Rising Ann Arbor pop musician Jacob Sigman just dropped his sugary new single “Mademoiselle,” and it’s a doozy. Produced by disco DJ cohort Rollergirl, the track decidedly enters poppier territory; it spins bubblegum synths and glitzy “chk-ahhh” sound-bytes into the year’s dreamiest earworm. - The Alternative

MICHAEL CORWIN
Michael Corwin adds a lot of welcome grit to his music. The singer-songwriter sits squarely in the country-folk wheelhouse — though he occasionally ventures outside, like the rockabilly boogie "Error of my Ways" — but there's a lot of unique edge and darkness to his music. It's a reminder of the grizzled old folk singers that would routinely sing about murder, revenge, prison, and soul-crushing heartache — you know ... life. - Rochester City News

CITIZEN
Big Mouth is both heavy and grimy, charming and off-putting all at once. Though unlike previous offerings, Big Mouth makes you move. It has a disorienting feel that wraps you up and sets you loose, allowing you to explore for yourself. Blurry and muddled, the threatening lyricism glides menacingly through your blood. - XPress Magazine
