STAIND is comprised of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Aaron Lewis, lead guitarist Mike Mushok, bassist and backing vocalist Johnny April, and drummer Sal Giancarelli. The band was formed in 1995 in their hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts. Over the course of their career, the band has released seven studio albums and eight Top 10 singles, selling over 15 million albums worldwide. Break The Cycle, released in 2001 and RIAA certified 5x platinum, featured the smash single, “It’s Been Awhile,” one of the most played songs in modern rock radio history, spending 20 weeks at Number 1. In 2019 after a five-year hiatus, STAIND reunited for some unforgettable festival performances, and a hometown reunion show that was recorded for the live album, Live: It’s Been Awhile. STAIND will release their new studio album, their first in twelve years, Confessions of the Fallen in September 2023.

Known for their unparalleled originality and a sound that's been described as a mashup of Hank Williams Sr., Sly Stone, and AC/DC played backward, CAKE has carved out a unique space in the music industry. Initially forming as a response to grunge, the band's democratic processes, self-reliance, and inventive music have positioned them as a nation-state unto themselves.  In a remarkable display of autonomy, CAKE writes, arranges, produces, and performs their own music and has also mastered the art of engineering their recording projects. Their solar-powered studio, boasting a surplus of energy, consistently runs the electrical meter in reverse. The band's latest triumph, "Showroom of Compassion," debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, earning praise from the New Yorker as "deadpan brilliance." CAKE seamlessly blends diverse genres and influences, offering a musical experience that stands alone in its uniqueness. The band is working on their ninth album, which is due for release this year.
