THE HAYMARKET SQUARES
PUNKGRASS FOR THE PEOPLE
Armed with tight vocal harmonies, bluegrass instruments and a heaping dose of righteous anger, The Haymarket Squares are Arizona's premier punkgrass trio.
Although they've been together for less than 2 years, Mark, Marc and John have played more than 100 shows in Arizona and the western U.S. They've developed a loyal following among punks, anarchists, hippies, activists and other thinking folks who appreciate rabble-rousing lyrics wrapped in a catchy melody.
Known for long sets and short songs, a typical Haymarket Squares show features ecstatic dancing, blindingly fast mandolin, and broad smiles. Who knew changing the world (or at least singing about it) could be so much fun?

WHISKEY KISS
Without being distracted by gimmicks that modern day "punk-rock" tries to pass on the masses, Whiskey Kiss has done something unheard of today… They keep punk-rock simple. Their debut, Encyclopedia Self Destructica, has ten songs, and a half an hour of fist pumping, body slamming simplicity.
Lightning fast drums and involved guitar riffs that will remind all the punk-rock purists of the days long (too long) ago. More importantly Whiskey Kiss's songs stand closer to punk's original idealisms, songs about friends, loyalty, respect, and having pride in your town. With Whiskey Kiss's infectious first release readying to put modern day hype to rest, they will prove, once again, that you can't try and change something as pure as broken
bottle punk-rock.

THE SENATORS
Phoenix-based indie start-up ‘the Senators’ are a new face of the Arizona music scene, but are already receiving national attention. Rooted in years of collaborative songwriting between the Teer brothers – Jesse & Rooster – the project came together in the summer of 2012.
The Senators have fashioned a sound that harkens back to the early Folk, Americana and back-beat Country while maintaining a spirited and relevant edge… with songwriting that is innovative and refreshing, but at the same time rooted deep in rich tradition.
The Senators first full-length release ‘Harsher Than Whiskey/Sweeter Than Wine’ is now available on iTunes & select online retailers. Singles from the album include ‘the Sea and Its Floor’, ‘the London Bridge’ and title track ‘Harsher Than Whiskey’.
