With a sound that blends ethereal atmospheres, soaring guitar riffs, and trippy synth textures, Never Plenty creates an immersive sonic experience that pulls listeners into a dreamlike landscape. The Vancouver four-piece offers a unique fusion of vintage influences and contemporary soundscapes, reflecting both the old and the new in the realm of psych rock.

Infusing the swirling sounds of early ‘90s shoegaze with an infectious rhythm section, haunting violin, and the plaintive lyrics of frontman Nima Walker, Hillsboro’s raw sound manages to strike a delicate balance between something nostalgic and something wholly its own, creating a world in which fear and shame are excavated in an ecstatic fever.

From the Pacific Northwest, Maneater is the musical project of best friends Lindsay Stewart and DJ On. Maneater’s sound is blown out, fuzzy, pop with infectious melodies complete with screeching guitar solos. They are self-described as Vancouver’s premiere gay son thot daughter rock n roll band.
