The Asteroid No.4 - The Asteroid No.4 are an American psych/shoegaze band based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Originating from Philadelphia in the latter half of the 1990s, the band began their relocation to the west coast in 2011. Since forming, the band has endured several lineup changes. Over the last ten years, however, they have consistently included Scott Vitt (vocals, guitar), Eric Harms (guitar) and Matty Rhodes (bass, vocals).  Drummer Mark Tarlton (formerly of Echodrone) joined the band in the Summer of 2020. 


The band is known for their dynamic live act, integrating multi-textured guitars and reverb-drenched vocal harmonies over an unwavering rhythm section. However, it’s been their prolific recording output, including their eleventh album “Tones of the Sparrow”, that’s helped build their dedicated fan base within the underground psych scene. With well over a dozen compilation appearances, digital-only rarity releases, and multiple singles and EPs, the band continues to hone its distinct sound with each release. The Asteroid No.4’s sound has been called a “hypnotic hybrid of several different genres filtered through the kaleidoscope of all things psychedelic.” Whether it be “shoegaze”, 12-string driven jangly folkrock, “Kosmiche Musik” or even the occasional dabbling in “Cosmic” countryrock, the band have never shied away from being faithful to the sounds passed on by their influences.


Purple Heart Parade - Purple Heart Parade are a Manchester-based psychedelic rock and shoegaze band renowned for their immersive live performances, soaring melodies and expansive walls of sound. Blending elements of psychedelia, alternative rock and dream-pop, the band have built a dedicated following across the UK and internationally through a combination of acclaimed releases and powerful live shows.


Velveteen - After a brief hiatus, Velveteen returned in 2026 with 6-track EP, My Dreams Are Changing, released on Noon Records. Described as their "most expansive work to date," the record was an overdue follow up to 2022's debut album Empty Crush. "Raw distorted and feedback intensive," hallmarks of classic 90s noise-rock are evident amid a shoegaze sound that is as much a love letter to their predecessors as it is their own.
