XICLON is a boundary-pushing Latin Alternative band that fuses alternative hard rock and metalcore with traditional Mexican music elements, primarily the accordion and bajo sexto of Norteño. Formed by Juan Carlos Martínez and Vicente Tapia, and expanded with brothers AG and Chris Granados, the band crafts a distinct sound that speaks directly to the bicultural Mexican-American experience through cathartic emotion and cultural duality. Named one of the top discoveries at the 2025 Latin Alternative Music Conference by Rolling Stone, XICLON continues to refine their sound through all-original independent releases like Desahogo and Índole Ido, as well as hard-hitting reinterpretations of regional Mexican hits, consistently cementing their position as pioneers in a growing scene. #latin #alt #rock #norteno taken in Houston, Texas by @radfestofficial

Moreno Valley, CA) - California indie garage rock band Archer Oh consists of Arturo “Archie” Medrano on vocals and guitar, Pedro Hernandez on drums, Diego Jacuinde on lead guitar, and Juan Cabrera on bass. Humbly beginning in the backyards of the Inland Empire in 2017, through their energetic live performances, DIY work ethic and goofy personalities, the group has amassed a cult following that in spite of the odds, increasingly platforms the band to new heights.
By 2022, Archer Oh had shared stages with Destroy Boys, Vundabar, Beach Goons, Six60, and Late Night Drive Home, embarked on two national tours supporting The Red Pears, and closed out the year with their first headline tour, including 3 consecutive sold out headline shows at The Paramount, Constellation Room, and The Glass House Pomona- where they sold all 800 tickets in celebration of Gradients - their first record together as a band. The following year solidified Archer Oh as a formidable touring machine, with the band playing 84 shows in 2023 - including The Channel Surfing Tour - their first full-length headline tour that included performances at Treefort Fest, Austin Psych Fest, Norman Music Festival, concluding with a headline show at The Belasco in LA, followed by two North American headline tours direct supporting Dogstar (Keanu Reeves) in mostly sold-out rooms of up to 5000 capacity, and a headline pacific northwest around Freakout Fest. More headline shows and another Dogstar tour followed the next year, and fans saw the band announce their biggest shows ever: a hometown return to Desert Daze Festival in Lake Perris, and a show with The Red Pears at LA’s The Shrine.
Archer Oh is set to release their debut studio album, The Internal Theater in February 2025 via AWAL/Sony. The record was engineered by Sean Cook at John Congleton’s LA studio “Animal Rites” and mastered by Howie Weinberg. Just like the years past, Archer Oh is ready to continue to win over even more people in 2026.

We are a Rock band with a blend of post-hardcore, emo and electronic synth-pop. Straight out of Houston, Texas, Long Live The Lights first formed in 2018 by Andre’ DeCuba (Lead Vocals) and Brendan McDowell (Guitars) with Matt Fogarty (Bass, Vocals) later joining the band that same year. They have since then added Steven Miller (Drums) to complete our line up.

With a focus of wanting to connect with others through energetic and impactful music, They began writing and performing in 2019.
We released our first single “Sirens” in 2021
which showcased a mix of Newcore and Synth Pop. They released “Far From The End” in 2022, which had a blend anthemic emo dynamics. This would be the song that led to a turning point in the band’s path as they began to develop their identity and signature sound. In 2023, They had the opportunity to work with legendary producer Aaron Sprinkle who’s produced some of their biggest influences as a band. In 2024, they self released “Voice of Virtue” followed by “Reprise” and “Paradigm” in the early spring. If you’re a fan of Story Of The Year, Anberlin, Saosin and Silverstein you’ll definitely connect with their music. #emo #rock #poppunk taken in Houston, Texas by @radfestofficial
