Following a string of encounters too strange to be coincidence, Robbie Kingsley, Franco Solari, Dylan McCue, Andre Escobar and Zach Levy came together to form The Hails. Despite first playing in an insular Miami high school music scene, the band officially formed at the University of Florida, turning the tattered carpeting and beer bottle lined shelves of their shitty college house into a distinct, refined sound that is now synonymous with their name. After graduation, the group made the pilgrimage back to their home of Miami, the city that directly influenced the sound of their early shimmering singles Younger and Stay, debut EP He Seems Upset (2020), and the subsequent Alive In Strange Ways (2021). Receiving praise from the likes of Ones To Watch, American Songwriter, Lyrical Lemonade, Atwood Magazine and others, The Hails went on to hold court at festivals including WonderStruck, Okeechobee and Playground, interspersed between sold-out shows across the state of Florida. Firing the starting pistol of their current chapter, The Hails began rolling out singles from their debut album in October 2022. Now with their debut album What's Your Move (2023) out in the world, The Hails will bring their new music to the road on their first ever cross-country headline tour.

Oceanic is a versatile indie pop band based in Charlotte, NC. Heavily influenced by a number of genres, they aim to create original music with diversity that enables the listener to see the world in a new way.

The band is comprised of three core members: Nathan, Jacob, and Sam. Nathan is the lyricist and lead singer, Jacob styles the song with electric guitar, Sam plays bass and arranges the music; all members contribute ideas and personality to the arrangement.
