Post Paradise (Fort Collins):
Blending strong lyrical and melodic influences from multiple genres, the four musicians comprising Post Paradise deliver an indie/alternative rock sound that is unique and memorable. Combined with a synchronized light show, Post Paradise bring a rock edge and reverberating beat to an underlying indie classical vibe, best showcased by the punctuation of the cello, played by Amy Morgan. Fusing the depth and beauty of the cello with singer/guitarist Nick Duarte’s signature vocals and edgy riffs, the two become the cornerstone of the quartet further enhanced by Mark Roshon on drums and percussion, and Brian Zeiger on bass guitar.
Together, the four create a sound all their own, with echoes of nineties alternative, modern indie poeticism, and classical music. Playing their first show in 2009, Post Paradise is now a seasoned and recognized entity on the Colorado music scene. ��The band’s newest EP, “Bring It To Life (Side A)“ was released in October of 2015.

The Hanyaks:
The Hanyaks is a four-piece rock band based in Lincoln, Nebraska. Consisting of Ashley Sharp on bass, Robert Klingsporn on guitar, and Nolan Morten on drums, front man and chief songwriter Monte Peck assembled this sonically schizophrenic group after moving to Lincoln from Austin, TX. With a heavy rhythm section, soaring vocals, and wall-of-sound guitars, Monte Peck and The Hanyaks appear be an even cross of Led Zeppelin and Weezer. But during songs like Waitin' On Linze (The Breakdown) and Cut You Loose (Social Candy), the undeniable Texas blues and outlaw-country influences shine through to showcase a genuine diversity seldom found within your typical rock band. It doesn't stop there. On other tunes such as R (The Breakdown) and Exbestfriend (Like A Parthian Shot), they shift effortlessly into Smashing Pumpkins mode; their sound and lyrics become dark, moody, and deeply confessional.
