Bay Faction
Borne out of an online message board, Bay Faction emerged in the Boston DIY scene in 2015 with the debut of their self-titled record. It was the first release on Counter Intuitive Records with the band’s album pressed on highly coveted vinyl. Following its release, Bay Faction spent 2 years rigorously touring nationwide, developing a cult-like following.

After graduation, the band relocated to New York, and camped out in a suburban New Jersey basement to write and record their sophomore record Florida Guilt. The record marked a departure from their earlier style, trading in a conventional rock setup for sampled drums, synths, and vocal processing, embodying the ethos they had long sought to define

Highsnobiety named Bay Faction as “your favorite band you haven’t heard of yet” and national touring ensued to promote their album. On the heels of the pandemic, Bay Faction bid farewell with the release of Swan Dive, their final song before entering hiatus.

Now, in 2024, the band relaunched with a sold out tour and is releasing the first single, Drive Home, on August 9th from their forthcoming EP.

Cry Baby

Cry Baby is a Brooklyn based five-piece embracing what it means to be a band. Writing and
recording out of their bedroom studio, their sound is marked by the digital age of computers.

Drawing inspiration from 90’s alt-rock acts like Third Eye Blind, they infuse modern production
elements of drum breaks, synthesizers, and glitchy soundscapes. After the release of their first
two singles in summer of 2023, they quickly began playing up and down the east coast.
These electric and antics filled shows began cementing a name for Cry Baby as a standout
band in the NYC scene.

“Bridging the brilliance of Y2K pop rock with the charge and charm of 2020s alternative, Cry
Baby are well on their way to defining their own place – and filling a much-needed gap – in
today’s music world” (Atwood Magazine).
