Nice&Swell is an Alternative Reggae Rock band from Huntington Beach, California, born from a friendship forged in the surf. Grant Esco and Arturo Grimes met while giving surf lessons in Huntington Beach, and on September 15th, 2022, they bought a drum kit, wrote their first song Hourglass, and Nice&Swell was born. The two performed as a duo before linking up with former classmates John Wedner (lead guitar) and Brendyn Quiroz (bass), who helped the music come fully to life. They released their debut album on April 20th, 2023, followed by several singles. They then headed into the world-famous 17th Street Recording Studio with producer Lewis Richards to craft their sophomore record — released April 20th, 2025. Nice&Swell is driven by a pure love and respect for music, always jamming and spreading good vibrations.

Capital Dub is a Southern California reggae band blending classic roots influences with a modern edge. Formed in 2020 in Huntington Beach, the group came together through a shared love of reggae and a long-standing friendship that fuels their chemistry on and off the stage.

Led by vocalist Ben, the band features Mike on bass, Alex on drums, and Rory on guitar. Together, they create a dynamic sound that balances laid-back grooves with high-energy rhythms.

Since forming, Capital Dub has become a standout in the local reggae scene, known for tight live performances and a genuine connection with their audience. Their momentum hit a new high with a recent set at the 2025 California Roots Festival and the release of their latest single, Get Right
