GUACK is an NJ-based alternative punk band, started as an experimental math rock duo by Frank Latona (vocals, guitar) and Ian Moran (bass guitar, vocals). After releasing a 2012 two-track avant-garde demo on Bandcamp, the band was put on hiatus for about a decade.

Rekindling the GUACK project in 2022, the band broadened their sound and reach, undergoing lineup and musical style changes in the process. In 2024, longtime collaborators Joe Reiner (guitar, backup vocals) and Dave Sotomayor (drums, tracking/mixing/mastering) were recruited to fill out GUACK’s ranks. Check out their Spotify.

Indeyevid is a powerhouse punk band known for their electrifying energy and raw, unapologetic sound. Since their formation, this high-octane quartet has carved out a unique space in the scene, blending diverse musical influences into a fresh, unmistakable style.

The band was born in the summer of 2022, fueled by the vision and restless energy of Amanda Indeyevid. Eager to shake things up, Amanda set out to create something real—something that captured the rebellion, resilience, and raw emotions at punk’s core.

From the heart of the New Jersey music scene, Amanda assembled a lineup of like-minded musicians who shared her relentless spirit. It wasn’t long before Indeyevid became known for their chaotic, high-energy shows, where sharp, cutting lyrics and Amanda’s fiery stage presence took center stage. Their music is a cathartic explosion—tapping into deep emotions and personal struggles, resonating with anyone looking for an outlet to break free or find a place to belong.

With relentless drive and passion, Indeyevid is poised for something bigger. Each performance, each song, each riotous moment pushes them further into the spotlight. As they continue to sharpen their sound and captivate audiences, their future is unstoppable. The journey is just beginning—the best is yet to come.Check out their Spotify.  

King Mob is robot stripper music! Check out their music .
