After playing under a number of different aliases and lineups, Stella Starfox came to life in 2018 on a Massachusetts college campus. Originally hailing from the ‘burbs of southeastern Mass, they have since established themselves in the greater Boston area with their gritty, indie-alt sound and celestial multi-part harmonies. 

Nowadays, the group plays with the live band consisting of Tommy Fuccillo, Matt Hatch, Cam Wright, Mike "Brown" Bloniarz and Matt Deluccia.

The New Noise blends sophisticated and catchy guitar riffs with deeply personal lyrical content. The New Noise formed in Boston in 2022 with Jeff St. Germain on lead vocals/rhythm guitar, Matt Gentle on lead guitar/backing vocals, Ian Downie on bass, and Bob Judge on drums/synth. File under indie/emo/guitar pop.

From the stages of the Greater Boston area, it's Crushdepth - aka the solo project of Tony from Aqua Hamster!

The songs of Crushdepth have been honed through open mic appearances, Instagram livestreams and shows at beloved local venues like the Midway Cafe and the Jungle.

For this year's Porchfest, get set for a show that combines songs from the album Commit To The Bit with new material and... perhaps a special guest appearance to plumb the depths of the Aqua Hamster catalogue!

Local Physical Therapist, Maloney also performs a variety of songs, from Irish Music (solo and with his band The Boston Harboy Bhoys), to 60's Classic Rock (i.e. Beatles, John Denver, Elton, Billy Joel) to 90's Britpop, as well as original music (kids album: Music for Young Ears, and pop-rock album, "January Hopeful, available on all streaming services). His setlists jump from genre to genre, but he always hopes to bring an audience together for a singalong and to enjoy the joy of story telling through music. 

High Tide is an alt-rock trio originally formed when the band members were in high school in the late 2000s.
Now reconvened after an 8-year hiatus, the band is once again engaged in writing and recording, and they are excited to preview work for their upcoming album!
At Porchfest, High Tide will present stripped-down versions of their deep songwriting history, with a few covers and side-project numbers sprinkled in for good measure.
Come join for fans of Dispatch, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beatles, and more!

Sometimes quiet, sometimes loud. Sometimes simple, sometimes intricate. Sometimes earthbound, sometimes free. Always scummy, never stagnant. Drawing on an ever-expanding list of influences ranging from soul and the blues to krautrock and metal, Pond Scum continues to explore the dark corners of the room where all of the sounds start to blend together.

Dan & Eric is a two man band made up of Dan Paluska and Eric Gunther. Both have written, produced, and performed electronic  music for twenty years. Their collaboration represents a return to acoustic instruments and songwriting. The duo writes indie / folk rock music, with Dan and Eric trading off between drums, guitar, keys, and vocals.    

A fun casual fusion of Funk, Soul, Jazz, and Pop!
