SUZZALLO
Suzzallo is a new Seattle based rock band fronted by Rocky Votolato. After the devastating loss of his child in a tragic car accident, Votolato created an entire new world inside of aggressive rock songs that transmute extreme grief into something healing and beautiful. Suzzallo’s debut album “The Quiet Year” is an explosive eulogy filled with cathartic alt-rock anthems that bring the energy of the 90’s back to life.
This a return to form for Votolato, who Rolling Stone once lauded as having a “nuanced command of the folk idiom”, but who started out playing in louder bands, like Waxwing, who gained an underground cult following in the mid-2000s Pacific Northwest punk and hardcore scene. Suzzallo’s music taps into that same spirit: blistering guitars, soaring choruses, and poignantly impactful lyrics–all with a volume and intensity that surpasses any of Votolato’s previous work.
With Rudy Gajadhar joining on drums (ex-Waxwing), Steve Bonnell on bass (ex-Schoolyard Heroes) and teaming up with legendary producer John Goodmanson (Sleater-Kinney, The Blood Brothers, Unwound) Suzzallo recently finished recording their debut album at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, WA - due out on Thirty Something Records in the spring of 2025. Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie / The Postal Service) is featured on several songs, lending his incredible talents to the album with beautifully placed back-up vocals, electric guitar, bass 6, and piano.

BEARAXE
Seattle rock ‘n’ roll band, BEARAXE, is torrential. Lightening-like vocal shrieks and electric guitar leads clap as thundering rhythms boom from the bass and kick-drum.

NADA ROSA
Nada Rosa blends deep roots in dub, psych, surf, and Latin soul into a lush, transportive sound. Led by Seattle-based artist and frontwoman Brandi Diaz, the project is an evolving collaboration with friends that moves between live band sets, dance performance, and DJ sessions. On stage, Nada Rosa invites listeners into softness, centering unity, joy and liberation through sound.

TREVOR EULAU QUARTET
Backed up by musicians Xander Johns, Tony Lefaive and Ej Brannan, Trevor’s own debut album ‘For Someone I Love’ features intricate, catchy and clear compositions that are brought to life with a youthful and tenacious spirit. Always with one foot in the world of free improvisation, the music is spontaneous and inventive, jazz that borders on math rock with rhythmic complexity and heavy distorted guitar. The group recently played in MoPop’s Soundoff event, and later at Timber! Outdoor Music Fest in Carnation. EJ, Tony and Trevor all met at the University of Washington where they learned from trumpet virtuoso Cuong Vu and bassist Steve Rodby, who greatly inspired the sense of freedom in their music and opened their ears to a world of musical possibilities.
