Rec Center is a “basement rock band” made up of four friends, Nathan Pica (lead guitar), Ibrahim Manfoud (rhythm guitar), Sam Carson (percussion), and John Joyce (bass guitar) who play jazz, blues, psychedelic rock, and alternative inspired music. The project began in a Pittsburgh basement in February of 2024.

Hailing from Indiana, PA, Battery Acid Boyz is a dynamic duo composed of Marie Smith (Vocals + Guitar) and Summer MacPherson (Drums). The pair met and bonded over their shared adoration for music, quickly discovering that their passion included not just talking about it, but making music themselves. Battery Acid Boyz is the passion project of two college students who write songs that make you want to dance or cry. You aren’t quite sure.
