BIG INTO is a Twin Cities based trio featuring guitarist/vocalist Jozef Conaway, drummer/vocalist Curtis Kraft Mattson, and Duluth bassist David Mold. The band blends space rock textures, sharp punk leaning rhythms, and exploratory lyricism into a groove forward sound that is both expansive and controlled, drawing comparisons to Talking Heads for its rhythmic complexity and dance friendly sensibility. The Draco Volans are an Indie Rock trio from Duluth, MN. Catchy, guitar-driven tunes come courtesy of Austin Korkowski on Vocals/Bass, Chris Burgan on Guitar, and Antonio Davis on Drums. The Leave Alones are a 4 man garage band spawned from the misery and mediocrity of the 5 day work week. These guys just want to rock again, and they want you to rock with them.
