The Shondes (taking their name from the Yiddish word for "shame" or "disgrace") are a band from Brooklyn, NY whose dramatic brand of rock music has been compared to Sleater-Kinney, Patti Smith and The Raincoats. Their instrumentation includes drums, bass, guitar, violin and vocals.

The Shondes are known for their melodic rock sound and a live show that explodes with energy. Their music draws from feminist punk, classical and Jewish music, which combine to create songs that are often both heartbreaking and hopeful. They bring an infectious urgency to their live performances that gets audiences on their feet and singing along.

"The Shondes are a twisted carnival film noir come true." -CMJ

“Riot grrrl radicalism wed to classically structured songs, distortion pedals, clashing vocals, and powerful lyrics.” -The Village Voice

Screamin' Cyn Cyn and the Pons are a theatrical party punk rock band out of Madison, WI, who sing funny, catchy songs over a relentless rhythm section, powerful guitar lines, and simple keytar riffs. It's art-rock without pretension, twee-core without sentimentality, punk rock without pants. Screamin' Cyn Cyn & The Pons' live show is littered with homemade props, hand-sewn costumes, and a confrontational mania that invariably elicits dancing, laughter, or at least slack-jawed bewilderment.

The Drain rises from the ashes of great Madison underground heroes Faghat and The Facesteak to bring you a brainful of frequencies designed to expand your space and bring you love.
