Lemming is indie rock for the masses

Fans say that Lemming combines the sexiness of Pavement, the sound of the Pixies, and the spicy musical style of the Stooges, in a fresh and totally unique way.
Born in 1995 in the podunk town of Zanesville in Ohio but raised to the Seattle sound of Grunge and Alternative rock. We just released our third CD in May of 09 which features a gorgeous mix of Indie, Alternative, Punk & Rock, served up with a twist of soda Pop.
"The Lemming sound ticks so many alt rock boxes it makes you dizzy. It's a heady mix of slacker punk, lo-fi pop, casually nonchalant psychedelia. From the lo-fi Dandy Warholian 'Slowly Going Numb', to the Pavementesque 'Away From You', from the snarling pop punk blast of 'Imperfect' to the lo-fi twee pop of 'Dandelions', they even manage to throw in a track that sounds like a drugged up woozy Velvet Underground ('Hallowed Ground')." -The Devil Has The Best Tuna
Action Camp is Pittsburgh's Dream-Pop duo

A jazz girl meets and electronic boy. they create something that is neither jazz or electronic.
A classically trained, folk-rooted girl met an electro-minded punk boy while both toiling in the food-industry and a relationship akin to a well-weathered marriage began. A shared love of 50's doo-wop, dark pop music, and David Lynch movies is the glue that binds them and also the basis for their eclectic sound.
After playing in the Boston scene for 3 years and going through a few line-up changes, founding members Bengt Alexsander and Maura Jacob decided to relocate to Jacob's hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. Action Camp has since become an ever-evolving entity, incorporating both live and electronic instruments, a flare for the dramatic, and an intimate live show that welcomes audience participation. They invite you to escape from the everyday mundane into the surreal, where “female vocals waft like ground fog above an ancient forest floor (and) a bizarre sense of darker monster surf music slithers in the eardrums†(The Noise Boston).

Sean Gardner produces home recorded pop songs full of simple, catchy melodies under the moniker Winter Makes Sailors.
He has been playing in the Columbus, Ohio music scene for nearly a decade and in addition to the Winter Makes Sailors project, he shares song-writing duties in Columbus bands Melty Melty and Bookmobile. You'll also find him helping out on-stage with his friends in The Kyle Sowashes and The Receiver.
"In between blunt song introductions and his fiddling with an arsenal of rare instruments, shows of his one-man band Winter Makes Sailors are packed with the type of well-crafted tunes that make the coffee shop crowds take notice.
Calm and humble on stage, he gives the fans their money's worth by packing his shows with brief, puncuated songs, sure to entertain most breeds of indie music fans."-Backdrop Magazine.
