Lion Cub – “Lion Cub was formed in rural Massachusetts as a recording project by students Chelsey Hahn and Chad Jewett, a project that quickly blossomed into the 11-song full-length, ‘Seneca’, a widescreen collage of classic pop, synthetic digital sounds and warm, acoustic instrumentation. Lion Cub has since played over 50 shows in a little over 6 months and has toured the East Coast of the United States.”

Walter Sickert & The Army Of Broken Toys – “Sickert and the Toys broadcast the sound of hapless, doe-eyed innocence gazing into the abyss — which counterintuitively makes for highly enjoyable listening.
The sheer magnitude of Sickert and company’s apocalypse folk appears to have mushroomed in proportion to their roster — formerly comprising just Sickert and Edrie Edrie, now something akin to a 15-player circus of
doom. ” – Barry Thompson (Boston Phoenix)
