Apes of the State,
Clover Lynn, The Hellfires
Apes of the State is an independent PA based folk punk band.
Apes of the State was born from the post-rehab bedroom folk punk project of singer/songwriter April Hartman in 2015. In her words: “I picked up a guitar and started writing about s*** instead of doing drugs about it.” Their sound is a distinct blend of classic folk punk, emo, pop punk, folk, and bluegrass with attitude fueled vocals spitting clever lyrical wordplay. Drawing early influence from artists such as Pat the Bunny & Paul Baribeau, April filled out the sound of her stripped down and honest acoustic songwriting with a ramshackle crew of musicians collected from open mics and the music scene of their home base Lancaster, PA.

SWMRS
SWMRS (formerly Emily's Army), is an American punk rock band formed in Piedmont, California in 2004 by Cole Becker and Joey Armstrong, with Becker's brother Max Becker joining only a few weeks afterwards. They drew on a mix of influences ranging from the Beach Boys to the Ramones to create their own brand of rock.
SWMRS is the sound of brothers staying afloat, having fun, and learning to move with the currents. Like the ocean, life moves in unpredictable waves – you can’t control the way the ocean moves, but you can choose whether you sink or swim.
