Miele is a Boston-based alternative rock band pulling from a diverse drawing board of art rock, psychedelia, soul, grunge, metal, and funk influences. Formed in 2014, Miele straddles the line between alt rock and art rock, with soulful female vocals oft compared to Grace Slick or Robert Plant, and startling switches between mystical melodies and grungy/funky/heavy rock. Miele focuses on examination of the intricacies of the human condition by responding through multi-layered rock compositions. They are releasing their debut full length album, Transience, on June 22 at The Burren. They have been featured on TV Programs Don't Forget To Rock, Duck Village Stage Sessions, and WEMF Radio.

Pyramid Thieves is a Boston-based indie rock band with a synth pop sensibility.

Jakals are a Somerville-based indie folk band made up of Katie Solomon (vocals), Jack Lewis (guitar), Zach Wulderk (bass), Bredon Jones (guitar) and Teryn Citino (drums). They are a bold and refreshing divergence from traditional New England folk acts, “a phenomenal newcomer on the scene that is definitely one to watch in the coming year” (Music Box Pete). Combining the vulnerability and intimacy of traditional folk with the grit of indie music, Jakals’ music explores deeply personal, often painful ideas and experiences.

My Tulpa started when TJ Boudreau kept writing songs about death and love as he was sick of playing in cover bands. These songs are on My Tulpa’s 2014 release Daymares. TJ moved to Baltimore and took 11 months to finish his next album while playing dive bars around the city. The finished product from that time was an album called Misanthropy released in June 2015. Realizing he did not want to work in a pizza parlor his whole life TJ moved back to Massachusetts to go to school and continue to work on music. Shortly after returning to Massachusetts, TJ recruited bassist Aidan Cuffe and drummer Eric McEntee to fill out the group in order to begin playing shows in New England.

Miele is a Cambridge-based alternative rock band with psychedelic, grunge, metal, and funk influences. The word 'Miele' translates to 'honey' in Italian. The five-piece band was forged in Cambridge in 2014, emerging out of mutual interests in the intersection of therapy and music. The words of Miele point to the human condition; they celebrate the emotions, spirit, and wisdom that lives and breathes in all of us, as well as the misunderstood rage, the desire, and the chaos that erupts out of us when we cannot give it a voice.

Combining soaring vocals and intricate jams, NO/HUGS pleases and energizes the soul of the crowd.
