Kickstand Productions Presents Violet Waves

Come celebrate the release of Emily Bjorke's multi-genre debut album 'Are You Going To Heaven Or Hell' on its release day at Color Club in Chicago. Emily Bjorke is a songwriter, singer, and producer based dually out of Los Angeles and Minneapolis. She got her start as the powerhouse frontwoman for all-girl punk trio Last Import from 2015 to 2020. Since then, Bjorke has become a decorated and revered songwriter and composer, including composing the official WNBA theme for CBS. This spring, she dropped her first two solo singles ahead of her upcoming album 'Are You Going To Heaven or Hell', set to release on October 16th. The first few singles have been reviewed and celebrated on blogs such as The Needle Drop and Le Future Wave, in early anticipation for the record's release. 'AYGTHOH' is a multi-genre album that combines Bjorke's love of classic surf rockers like The Beach Boys, the 2000s country songs of her childhood, and the Minneapolis punk scene. Presented by Color Club.

Doors: 9PM / Show: 10PM / 21+ Horse Jumper of Love thrive on patient and uncompromising songs. Thanks to frontman Dimitri Giannopoulos' evocative lyrics and arrangements that suddenly turn from delicate to blistering, their music is full of intensity. While the Boston trio, which also includes bassist John Margaris and drummer James Doran, has stretched the fringes of indie, their latest is their most immediate yet. Out August 16 via Run For Cover Records, Disaster Trick tackles self-destructiveness with healing and heart. Where Horse Jumper of Love's last release 2023's Heartbreak Rules excelled with quiet, bare-bones songwriting, Disaster Trick cranks up the volume while keeping the no-frills intimacy of the band's catalog. Recorded at Asheville, North Carolina's Drop of Sun Studios with producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo De Souza), the recordings soar with searing guitars and an unshakeable rhythm section. , "rdquo" -> I tried the quiet thing on the last album and I realized there's definitely two parts of me: I like really heavy music, and I like really gentle music," says Giannopoulos. , "rdquo" -> The two albums I listened to the most while we were in the studio were Leonard Cohen's Songs From a Room and Hum's Downward is Heavenward." This contrast between quiet and loud exists throughout Disaster Trick but it's animated by stark emotion and straightforward, timeless songwriting.
