Thaddeus Anna Greene is a rock and roll quartet. This Cleveland powerhouse formed in 2010 and has been brewing up a buzz ever since. With honest, and familial lyrics, Tj Maclin (lead vox, guitar) dictates the often felt yet unexpressed voice of the young man; while Ryan Augusta (guitar, vox) fills in the cracks and provides a full-bodied presence. Matt Augusta (bass) and Anthony Foti (drums, vox) supply a rhythm section  with deep pockets and a satisfying groove.     @ThaddeusAGreene

Bite The Buffalo is brothers, Stos and Miti Goneos who have formed a fuzz riddled rock 'n roll outfit . Releasing the Bromigos EP in 2012 led to touring the UK / Europe and through to The US. Following up a successful year with their debut album 'Blue Lips' created in a lighthouse off the coast of Dorset took the guys to SXSW festival in Texas and back for a storming set on the BBC. They caught the attention of Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant who invited the brothers to join him at a sold out Manchester Apollo.      @BiteTheBuffalo
