  Yellow Fever is an over-the-top, high energy, make your ears bleed, in-your-face, punk band from small town Ohio formed in the spring of 2022 and started playing out in late summer of 2023.  They currently have a demo EP, Mothership Demos, out on all platforms that released in 2024. They blend genres of hard rock, punk, thrash metal, sludge, hardcore, emo, pop, and noise to have elements of classic rock mixed with a modern flair.  They are currently working on securing a spot for a home studio to get their debut album out late this year into early next year.  Through line up changes, evictions, mental problems, and death, the music always comes first and is the main drive in all song writing practices.  Dillan Woodard delivers blistering heart pumping sub frequencies to occupy the low end.

We are sort of experimental with trying out different sounds and styles.  Our debut six-song EP released December 2024 and was mixed and mastered by Will Carlson Audio and Ingram Audio. The album cover was designed by Ron Totman. It's available on all streaming platforms at this link:   https://too.fm/stillrunning Top 5 Joshua’s Favorite Bands 1. Carousel Kings 2. Boundaries 3.

  LibCor is an indie, alternative rock band based out of Cleveland, Ohio.  As solo acts, Olivia Lee (vocals, guitar) and Corey Kurtz (guitar), met at a cancelled open mic while living in the foothills of central Pennsylvania in 2017. The pair left small town life for the city in 2019.  During the pandemic, the duo recorded their debut album, Cut the Rope , and released it in September, 2021. This helped to recruit Mike Deane (bass) and Jake Campian (drums), completing the band in 2022.  Since then, they have played 83 shows—mostly around the Northeast Ohio region, with some shows in PA, MI, and MD.  LibCor released their sophomore album, M.O.O.N. , in April, 2023 and are currently in the process of putting finishing touches on their third album at Audioworks Media Center. Their next show is April 23 at 7pm at No Class (11213 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, Ohio 44102). They will open for Dancemyth and Derek Zanetti (formerly The Homeless Gospel Choir). Tickets will be ...
