Moon Walker

From Denver, Colorado

Moon Walker is a Denver rock duo consisting of Harry Springer on vocals and guitar and Sean McCarthy on drums. The band formed during the pandemic when Springer began writing songs for sound libraries that evolved beyond White Stripes-inspired tracks into a unique sound drawing from T-Rex, Supergrass, and classic rock influences. They released their debut album Truth to Power independently in 2021, followed by their second album Attack of the Mirrors, expanding their sound while maintaining their foundation in guitar-driven rock with theatrical elements.

From Chicago, Illinois

Pretoria is a five-piece indie rock band from Grand Rapids that recently relocated to Chicago. The band won recognition with their music-festival-winning single "Keep Two-Stepping" and opened for Grouplove at MSU's Breslin Center. They released their debut album "Where Will the Night Take Us?" in 2023 after selling out their hometown venue The Pyramid Scheme.

From Oakland, California

An Oakland power-pop trio whose viral single "Be Gay, Do Drugs, Hail Satan" has surpassed 6 million Spotify streams. Their debut album Continue? blends jangly pop melodies with overdriven guitars and acerbic lyrics in a vein that draws comparisons to Green Day, with songs that address queer and nonbinary identity directly.
