Formed in 2022, The Sewing Club are Hannah McElroy (guitar, vocals), Stephen Meaux (guitar, bass), Justin Mckinney (guitar), Zach McCoy (drums, vocals). An alternative/rock project at its core, The Sewing Club began in the basements of their friend’s houses in Nashville, TN. They’ve completed tours opening for acts like Chokecherry and Arlie across the entire US, played SXSW, and shared the stage with acts like Protomartyr, fanclubwallet, Otoboke Beaver, Soccer Mommy, Horse Jumper of Love, Lowertown, Deeper, etc.

This past fall, the band released their debut EP “Care” recorded and mixed by Calvin Lauber (Julien Baker), Alex Farrar (Wednesday), and Henry Stoehr of Slow Pulp. Their debut album is set to release Spring 2026 via Born Loser Records. The Sewing Club is grungy pop that’s sure to get stuck in your head. https://thesewingclub.bandcamp.com/

+ Support: crysometimes is Megan Bush (they/them), a Brighton-based force delivering a sweet, self-defined slice of grunge-pop and alt-rock. Think ’90s royalty like Avril Lavigne and Paramore, but raised on modern internet angst and brought to life on stage alongside live bandmates Viv Maher (she/her) and Caleb Tamplin (he/him). After tearing through a UK tour supporting Chloe Slater, instantly selling out Third Man’s Blue Basement, and winning over every room in their path, Megan is gearing up to drop the debut crysometimes EP. Live, it’s a hyper-emotional power trip fueled by heavy guitars, big hooks, and the irresistible urge to scream every word back at the stage https://www.instagram.com/crycrysometimes

Blitzer: The band aesthetic is inspired by the Cold War in the 1980s, in particular East Berlin and the architecture and imagery of the time. Meanwhile, the sound is indebted to the noise of early 80s post-punk and new wave – think Echo & The Bunnymen, The Birthday Party, Buzzcocks, Public Image Limited – bands that both sounded and looked amazing, but still remembered to write three-minute pop songs, all rumbling melodic basslines, icy and venomous guitar attacks and infectious drum licks.  https://www.instagram.com/blitzer_band
