Strutman Lane
From the outskirts of DC, a group with a mutual love of funk, pop, and soul came together to breathe sensuality into original music. With each release, Strutman Lane infuses rhythm guitar hooks, warm vocals, and driving sax lines that cater pocket grooves to the soul. Strutman Lane is coming into 2025 hot with a sold-out show at the Atlantis, a new EP, a East Coast tour, and a headlining gig at the 9:30 Club this July.

Me Like Bees
Formed on the heels of the 2000s indie rock scene, Missouri-based indie rock band, Me Like Bees, was created by college dropout, Pete Burton and former gas station clerk, Luke Sheafer in 2009. The pair met while playing high school football together in Kansas; only to lose touch and serendipitously end up at the same college town in southwest Missouri several years later. The duo shared a mutual affinity for the music of the aughts. Bands like The Strokes, Modest Mouse, The White Stripes, and Franz Ferdinand, would serve as the catalyst to the danceable, guitar- driven rock that Me Like Bees would become known for, all of which are ever-present on their newly released sophomore full-length album — Disco Two Step.
Notably, the band released their first full-length album, The Ides, via Loveway Records in 2013. In 2014, they won first prize at the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands in Hollywood, CA — beating out 20,000 other artists, and securing a coveted spot on the Vans Warped Tour. With their undeniable trajectory of growth, the group knew the next step was to make more music. They got the chance to work alongside Goldfinger frontman and well- known producer, John Feldmann for the There Will Be Time EP (2016), and they didn’t stop there. In 2018, they partnered with Image Comics and artist Jeremy Haun for the release of their graphic novel-inspired EP, Songs From The Realm.
With a plethora of years in the game and knowing their way around the studio – Me Like Bees is making sure they’ve got your attention.

The Wonderlands
Alternative-pop quintet The Wonderlands began as a vehicle to combine the aesthetics of pop music with elements of American folk, soul, and rock. Now in the process of recording their third album, the band’s writing has evolved to become more collaborative and exploratory. Their newest single “When I Was Younger” addresses the painful paradox of growing up with an anthemic chorus and a driving rock rhythm.
