Mary's Knife:

Richmond has always been a city that sharpens its own. Five musicians — some forged in the fires of AVAIL, Battlemaster, and Dragonship, others drawn from the wider Richmond scene — finally in the same room together. Mary's Knife — Lizzie on vocals, Joe and Brady on guitars, Chuck on bass, Paul on drums. Rock and alternative rock at the core, with sprinkles of punk and metal cutting through the edges. Old friends, Richmond lifers.

Merciful Zero:

As they say, “two points in the universe will eventually meet”. In this case, there are four. Who knew that Richmond Virginia would become that point of “musical singularity”? Hans (Vocalist), Cheez (Guitarist), Mark (Drummer), BK(Bassist) fuse an amalgamation of pop, rock, hardcore, doom, and alternative influences. Four points, four musicians, four artists. Now, a family of life, love, expression, mystery, and spirit. Merciful Zero.

The Francines:

Richmond’s The Francines are a four-piece who play rock and roll: gritty, melodic, and restless enough to keep you guessing.
