Rickshaw Stop x Noise Pop Festival 2026 Present: THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART Living Hour Still Ruins Cindy — The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are an American indie pop band from New York City. The band was formed by Kip Berman (vocals, guitar), Peggy Wang (keyboards, vocals), Alex Naidus (bass), and Kurt Feldman (drums) in 2007. The band is reuniting in 2025 to celebrate 15 years of their debut, self-titled album which was included on "The 30 Best Dream Pop Albums" list by Pitchfork. — On Internal Drone Infinity, Winnipeg’s Living Hour transforms the passage of time into something both urgent and sacred. Anchored by Sam Sarty’s vivid lyricism, shaped by years as a projectionist conjuring stories in a dark theater, the band explores the quiet magic hidden in everyday life. Their fourth album drifts between dreamy noise rock, folky slowcore, and fuzzy indie-pop, coining a genre all their own:“yearn-core.”With wistful vocals, textural distortion, and poetic detail, Living Hour capture the ache of memory, the mess of feeling, and the beauty in what remains. — Formed in 2020 by Frankie Soto, Jose Medina and Cyrus Vandenberghe in Oakland, California. Still Ruins craft their sound by blending Sophisti-Pop and Dream-Pop rounded out with a Post-Punk edge. They released their debut self titled EP on Smoking Room(Vinyl/Digital) in of January 2024 with a debut full length album coming out in 2026
