The Modbeats

Hailing from New Jersey, The Modbeats are an eclectic four-piece set about taking over the rock n' roll world. The high voltage quartet, made up of Philip Dunn (vocals,

guitar), Scott Matison (bass), Fizz (drums), and Joe Mandia (vocals, guitar), has carved a niche in the modern rock scene by incorporating power pop, rockabilly, and gritty

blues and rock ’n’ roll influences into their tone alongside other catalog twists. Their recent debut record, Ballad of a Starving Artist, quickly established the group as

a driving force in the industry for its infectious earworms and classic lyricism. The album earned substantial praise from publications like The Big Takeover, Shindig!,

WXPN, and Earmilk, solidifying the group's ability to bridge past influences with present-day instrumentation and a twist of light and dark. The band’s songs are

frequently heard on Little Steven’s Underground Garage and Little Steven’s Coolest Songs In The World channel on Sirius XM. The Modbeats commitment to pure sound,

uninhibited by subgenre, combined with a distinctive aesthetic and stupefying live performances, earned them a spot on Music Connection's Hot 100 Live Unsigned

Artists and Bands of 2024. They've carved their sound across countless corners of the rock landscape, with more explosive performances and genre-bending releases on the

horizon. - Mayleen Records.

The No Good Crowd

You know those nights when everything just clicks—the pints flowing, the stage humming, the music grinning at you like an old friend? That’s the spark behind The No Good Crowd. Even in an era of bedroom pop and chillwave, these four Philly lifers forged a genre-blending mix of garage, power pop, jangle, punk, and Americana from their very first shows together.

Katie Feeney

Roberta Faceplant

Roberta Faceplant is a honky tonk hurricane from Philadelphia. Safely in the middle of a Venn diagram where kitsch meets bitch, the five-piece Outlaw Americana band has been called “a cowpunk miracle” and been compared to “Southern Culture on the Skids fronted by Laura Bell Bundy.” It’s Country, but you can hear the city.

Raucous guitars, a driving rhythm section, and the raw, powerful, and soulful vocals of frontwoman Katie Feeney make Roberta Faceplant a five-fingered fist of Country grit. Lyrically, Feeney and the band pull no punches, tackling current events with tongue in cheek humor and rage. Peppered with Bob Seger-style working-man themes and a dose of Southern Rock, the band still holds tight to the true spirit of country music - three chords and the truth.

Over the last year, Roberta Faceplant has performed at venues such as Johnny Brenda’s (Philadelphia), Ardmore Music Hall (Ardmore, PA), Skinny Dennis (Brooklyn, NY), and at events like Baby’s First Rodeo in Philadelphia, PA, while opening for artists like Low Cut Connie, Emily Nenni, Dylan Earl, Hannah Juanita, Olivia Ellen Lloyd, Rebecca Porter, and more. The band was named “Best Band” by Delaware Public Media in 2025 and their last two EPs received radio play on stations like KOOP 91.7 FM and KLKT 107.9 FM in Texas; NOLA County Radio in New Orleans; and WXPN 88.5 in Philadelphia.

Roberta Faceplant released their second six-song EP, Brisket & Cigarettes, on September 26, 2025, and is currently working on their first full length album.
