Something Meets Boy, Larrikins, Moneybones, Midso

Moneybones is a rock trio from Minneapolis. They've been playing together for three years with a heavy, melodic sound that owes as much to blues as it does to metal. Their live shows are hard to predict and hard to forget. Tim DeJonge screams but will apologize for it. Andy Keleske rips on the kit. Jake Gau has one mean bass face. They have a single out called "False Faces." Midso is a five-piece band from the Twin Cities playing heartland indie rock. Blending power pop, alt-country, and alt-rock influences, they write songs about work, love, and politics that fit like a pair of old jeans. Minneapolis pop-rock crew blending catchy, jangly guitar hooks with driving beat. They write songs "as fun to listen to as they are to play" and deliver energetic, hard-hitting pop-rock bops. Fronted by songwriter/guitarist Tom Blackburn (with Brian Wahl on bass/vocals, Kevin Zech on guitar/keys, and Ryan Babiracki on drums), the band dropped their debut single Bench Seat in January 2025. A post-punk band from Minneapolis. Focusing on an eclectic blend of happy melodies, thumping bass, and pounding drums. They write songs with a wide variety of topics ranging from introspective substance abuse to a fierce hatred of the corporate environment. The band consists of guitarists/vocalists Kevin Mosher and Tom Blackburn, bassist Conner Gorby and drummer Stephen Legatt.
