Quarters of Change ~ Frend
QUARTERS OF CHANGEQuarters of Change is the Lower-East-Side quartet leading the charge on New York City’s rock resurgence, and redefining what it means to be a rock star. You may have recently discovered them as the end credit performers on Netflix’s acclaimed “RACE” docu-series, but their origins go back much farther.Composed of Ben Acker, Attila Anrather, Jasper Harris, and Ben Roter, Quarters of Change started in 2017 as a high school cover band, performing iconic rock songs of the 90s and 00s. It wasn’t until their junior year that they began writing original material, pulling influence from groups like The Strokes and Rage Against The Machine, and creating their own original sound. Within a year, the band had signed a deal with Warner/300 Entertainment, released streaming favorites like “Kiwi,” and played sold out shows at renown venues like Bowery Ballroom and Webster Hall.Now, armed with a record deal and an undeniable slew of songs, Quarters of Change is poised to be alternative rock’s next big thing. Keep an eye out for their self-written debut LP, Into The Rift, with contributions from legendary producer Tom Lord-Alge, coming Spring 2022.https://quartersofchange.com/FRENDPost-hardcore heartbreak. Melodically screaming about hard feelings over angular hooks and heavy grunge. Its v cathartic for everyone involved.https://frendtheband.bandcamp.com/
Brittany Ann Tranbaugh (EP Release) ~ Emily Drinker
BRITTANY ANN TRANBAUGH (QUARTER LIFE CRISIS RELEASE SHOW)Brittany Ann Tranbaugh (pronounced TRAN-baw) is an award-winning singer/songwriter based in Philadelphia, PA. Originally from the Lehigh Valley area in PA, she kicked off her music career as a teenager playing at Godfrey Daniel’s, one of the country’s only remaining bona fide folk listening rooms. She has since performed all over the US and Canada in theaters, living rooms, basements, bars, coffee shops, backyards, and on festival stages including Firefly and Philly Folk Fest. You can expect to hear a new EP produced by Jackson Emmer and entitled “Quarter Life Crisis Haircut” in April 2022. In this new batch of memorable and thoughtfully crafted songs, she tackles a wide range of topics including her sixth grade queer awakening, an awkward run-in with an old acquaintance, and the impossibility of true folk music authenticity in this day and age. At times witty and sarcastic, at other times heartbreaking and raw, the EP undoubtedly showcases Tranbaugh’s finest work to date.EMILY DRINKEREmily Drinker blends folk, pop, and rock with a kickass backing band and soulful 3-part harmonies through live looping. Emily has been featured by NPR Music, played at Firefly Music Festival, and toured in Colombia and around the United States. In 2020 and 2021, she hosted a livestream series called Every Cent Concerts to support local artists during the pandemic. In addition to her busy performance schedule in Philly and its surrounding areas, Emily also does some work as a session vocalist. A song she co-wrote and sings on has been played several times on CBS’ The Young and the Restless. In 2022 Emily will release a new album.
