The band blurs lines between a multitude of genres from rock to funk to disco, electronic and punk, ultimately coalescing into something fresh, modern and simultaneously timeless. Originally initiated in 2019, by west coast transplants, Rex Costello and Oliver Hart, the two found themselves in Brooklyn New York, combining forces in the studio with producer Sam Cohen. The outfit quickly grew into what is now its 7-piece formation including Evan Eubanks, Diona West, Theadora Curtis, Chloe Golding and Ryan Lee. **About Wax Jaw** *https://linktr.ee/wax_jaw* Wax Jaw has rapidly climbed the rungs of an expansive Philly music scene following the release of their debut EP "Between the Teeth” in 2023. A formidable opening statement from the band, the EP is a collection of catchy punk tunes sun-kissed with surfy guitar tones and permeated with new wave danceability. The release was immediately picked up by Abandon Everything Records and followed up with multiple sold out shows at home and on the road while touring in the U.S. and Canada. **About SNOWMEN** *https://linktr.ee/snowmenband* SNOWMEN -comprising of Zac Wilson (vocals, guitar), Kendall Laughton (drums), Adam Parbhoo (guitar), Josh Agrifoglio (guitar), and Sam Haecker (bass) - entered the New York rock and post-punk scene with a refreshing blend of wit and raw energy.
