Webster's Wheel
Webster’s Wheel are an indie folk/Americana duo with a sound lost in time and found on a journey of finger-style acoustics, interweaving vocal harmonies, and emotional landscapes. Based out of east central Alabama, the duo has toured across the South from the far shores of Florida up the mountains of Virginia and across the Texas plains. They have recorded five albums in three years’ time, releasing music in a style that remains true to their sound and captures the unfiltered magic of their live performances.

Surfwax
Equally angsty and ambient, driving yet melodic emo laced indie rock from Jackson, Mississippi.
“Moorman's bent and macabre leads hit with a vengeance that conjures the spirit of 90's Seattle grunge. Lee punches you right in the solar plexus, hitting all the low-end sweet spots. McCan slams his kit mercilessly, and the effect is primal, calling the tribes of degenerates and outcasts home to a warm place next to the fire of an ever burgeoning Southern punk scene.” - Matt Cockrell; Guerrilla MediaÂ
