Split Chain with Soul Blind, Downward, and more

Soul Blind, hailing from Hudson Valley, New York, crafts a fuzzy blend of shoegaze, alternative rock, and post-hardcore. Drawing from 90s influences like Alice in Chains and Deftones, the band is known for its "grungegaze" sound. Their discography includes albums such as "Feel It All Around" and "Red Sky Mourning." Popular songs include "Stuck In A Loop" and "Phantom Pool."

Split Chain, a quintet from Bristol, UK, defies genres with their high-energy, kaleidoscopic sound. Known for their creative freedom, their debut album *motionblur* captures the angst and joy of self-discovery.

Downward, originating from Tulsa, Oklahoma, creates a compelling sound blending indie folk, emotive post-hardcore, and alternative rock. The band is recognized for its dynamic quiet/loud approach and introspective lyrics. They released their self-titled debut in 2018, followed by "Downward (LP2)" in 2025. Their music explores vast soundscapes and emotional complexity, drawing comparisons across shoegaze and post-punk.
