Cosmonaut
Cosmonaut is a 4-piece indie-rock band from NYC. Formed in 2009 by classmates John Paul Manley and Daniel Quinn, Cosmonaut blends shoegaze influences with alternative rock and pop, to create a unique, mesmerizing sound.
The band came together after Manley and Quinn met at Fordham University. Both Manley and Quinn share vocal and guitar duties, and enlisted longtime friends Brendan Picone (bass) and Tom McIntyre (drums) to fill out the rhythm section. Cosmonaut is currently recording with producer Kyle "Slick" Johnson (Wavves, Modest Mouse, Cymbals Eat Guitars). The band's song "Occulture" also was featured recently on Occupy This Album alongside numerous other artists (including Patti Smith, Yo La Tengo, and Mogwai).
Cosmonaut's sound has been characterized as "somewhere in between Kevin Shields and Stephen Malkmus" (Aural Wes). "Their resonant compositions are offset with clear melodies and a natural intensity," according to Fordham University's "The Observer." Weezer's videographer and unofficial fifth member, Karl Koch, has described Cosmonaut's sound as incorporating "shades of My Bloody V, early New Order, and Pavement," (Karlophone).
Josh Eppard of Coheed and Cambria is quoted as saying " Cosmonaut has found a way to embody the classic rock and roll elements that have been all but forgotten in contemporary rock while keeping intact their indie music footing. Cosmonaut is my favorite new band. Here's to the future."
Cosmonaut is currently finishing their debut ep to be released in 2013.

Peanut Butter Lovesicle
Peanut Butter Lovesicle is rock and roll band consisting of brothers Jake and Mike D'Arc (on guitar and bass respectively; they both also sing) and their cousin Timmy Miller on drums and vocals. Their musical style identifies with straight rock and roll mixed in with southern blues rock influence, then add a bit of classic 60's sounding guitar inspiration. The band was formed in Ocean City, NJ playing out at clubs and bars all over the South Jersey area and gaining national attention via the cover of Atlantic City Weekly in October '10. The band now resides in Brooklyn, NY, and has been seen playing shows throughout the city at hotspots such as Cameo Gallery, Arlene's Grocery, Lit Lounge and Trash Bar, as well as frequenting the northeast. PBL has already been receiving attention as they were introduced on MusicVagabond, one of the top NYC music sites and their single "State Of I" from 2010's Heavy Daze Wildcat Craze EP was on episode 421 of CW's hit show Gossip Girl. The boys have just finished a mini-tour of London and released a new single "Black Eyed Blues" (iTunes, Amazon).
