ELLA
ELLA is a Xicana indie post-punk band out of Los Angeles, California. ELLA’s Spanglish lyrics aim to remind their audience of the beauty of biculturalism and help reconnect the quartet to their own culture. Tapping into issues such as catcalling, colorism, and domestic violence, as well as promoting women empowerment, ELLA is committed to using their art as a tool for social change.

Observer Syndrome is a new rock ‘n’ roll band who hail from all over the Los Angeles area. The band is a little over a year old with dual vocalists Kristy Martinez and Bryan Cortez, alongside lead guitarist Nix Mendoza and drummer Nate Latiolait, Observer Syndrome blends sounds ranging from punk rock to metal, thrash and experimental. The two songs we’ll be playing for our set are “House of the 5th Circle” & “Dynamite in the Well.” “House of the 5th Circle” is about moving forward in our lives, and leaving all the anger, anxiety, and regrets behind. “Dynamite in the Well” is about seeing the reality of the world, wanting to make a change, and standing up for what's right. They have an album and more shows in the works!

The Tissues
The Tissues are a dark and noisey art-punk quartet from Los Angeles
 led by Kristine Nevrose (vocals), Bianca Ayala (bass) and Tara Edwards (drums). The band’s style bridges dark and hypnotic post-punk with melodic bass and anthemic, energetic classic punk. The Tissues’ DIY aesthetic seeps through the upcoming album with themes of rebellion, sexuality, and the condemnation of modern oppression. The group released their debut LP “Veil” 
in 2017 and their second LP, “Blue Film” in 2020.
