Jangle guitars and bold reinventions abound: The National Honor Society surge with swirling electro-pop energy and unapologetic resilience, while Red Cavalry writhe with infectious jangly indie-pop energy and McCarthy-style lyrical agitation.

Mythical Motors celebrates twenty years of pioneering crushed lofi power-pop, while Dino DiMuro imagines returning to childhood streets as the person he is now, in sweet lo-fi reverie.
