Rematch
(Chicago, IL)
Genre: Pop Punk
Hailing from Chicago, REMATCH sets to bring together aggressive riffs and pop influenced melodies. After releasing their debut EP, “Broken Steps,” in 2018, they have played shows at many of Chicago’s best venues including Subterranean and Bottom Lounge. In Spring of 2019 they went to Wales to work with Seb Barlow (Neck Deep, WSTR, As It Is) and Sammy Clifford of WSTR to create their sophomore EP titled “Do It All Again.” Not letting 2020 slow them down Rematch announced their signing to LOST MUSIC COLLECTIVE, released “Do It All Again” as well as their single “Words That Rhyme With Liar.” In 2021 Rematch plans to release a full length record.
Gold Steps
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: Pop Punk
Few artists would consider leaving “live music capital of the world” Austin for the Midwest. Gold Steps not only chose that path–they’re thriving on it. With their 2022 EP That Ain’t It, released on Revival Recordings, the band marks a new era of assertiveness, calling out toxic influences with hook-laden, brutal honesty and revealing growth towards a more polished, pop-forward sound.
EP singles “Petty,” and “Stay The Same,” quickly became fan favorites, the latter featuring vocalist Liz Mauritz directing razor-sharp jabs at a toxic friend. Self-empowerment and autonomy are central themes on the record, as well as the band’s signature self-reflection and vulnerability, best showcased on final track “Gatsby,” a synthy apology letter to a neglected love. Mauritz describes, “I’ve grown to appreciate the intensity of my emotions…how powerful my love, my fury, and my pain can be. I hope That Ain’t It inspires others to feel the power in their own emotions, really live in those moments, appreciate them—it’s what makes us uniquely human.”
Kicking off 2023 with a new sound, Gold Steps released their poppy new track “Undercover.” “Undercover” is available on all digital platforms now!
