Ryan Getz recommends: BAD VEINS

Coming from the same town as Walk the Moon and Public is another rising star in club ready rock and roll – Bad Veins. These guys are tight, polished and want you to have fun while at the same time taking their craft very seriously. They also are on tour much of this spring, including a May 16th appearance at Columbus, Ohio’s Kobo (an IATU hotspot).

Chris McLafferty recommends: ZZ WARD

ZZ Ward is the next step in the ever expanding musical fusion. With a slick blend of deep south folk rock, an element of hip hop and a voice that can go pound for pound with Adele, ZZ Ward is poised to blast into stardom in this musical era. For fans of Adele, The Black Keys, and music.
