US Girls (US)
U.S. Girls is the creative force of a lone American woman, Meghan Remy. For the past four years she has pursued her minimalist aesthetic with a militant by-any-means-necessary attitude, merging experimental compositions tracked on borrowed four track recorders with her distinctive photocopy-art visual aesthetic to deliver starkly defined statement LPs like ‘Introducing…’ & ‘Go Grey’ on Siltbreeze Records.

Shockwave Riderz (Pgh)
The Pittsburgh-native electronic-infused surf rockers, known as Shockwave Riderz, are Phil Boyd (drums/vocals), Sara Mac (Vocals/Roland SP-404), and Paul Quattrone (MPC 1000/Effects pedals). The trio represent the meeting point between basement punk and beach-side rock with a dash of electronics for good measure. The group’s debut release, a three-track 12”, is a mature introduction to a group that surely has a bright future in this city and beyond.

Nic Lawless is a Pittsburgh based punk-rock outfit and PostLife affiliate, lead by Nic Lawless himself and accompanied by his Yung Criminales. Originally hailing from New Brunswick, NJ, Nic Lawless recreates the energy of basement punk shows, which are native to New Brunswick, but with an influence of Pittsburgh contemporaries.
