Wish Queen

Mystical and moving, Wish Queen takes those intangible feelings of desire and yearning (wishing), and transforms them into poetic melodies, ranging from danceable pop to deliciously introspective ballads. Blending her rich classic vocals with layered synth-based production styles, Wish Queen transports her listeners to a myriad of times and places all at once. A hypnotic blend of dream pop, art pop, and indie folk, her debut album, “SATURNALIA,” exploring cycles, heartbreak, and coming of age via Saturn Return, will be released later this year.

PAL

Radderall

Once upon a brief forever ago, two young, landlocked, Ohioan fools found solace in a type of sad-boy-ness that could only be hosted by the honest acknowledgement of nostalgia. First loves, hormone-drenched house parties, receded responsibilities, reunions that rile by assumedly absent feelings of once upon some mess of whatever part of one's wonder years...and so on. 

These remembrances and experiences - incubated in long distance demos and ideas that span nearly a decade before us - soon came to fruition by the finesse/caress of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Madeleine Campbell (then an audio engineer of Treelady Studio) in the Spring of 2013. 

Upon hearing Zach Taneyhill's compositions thru that delicious brand of Garageband-based magic, Campbell offered her talents to Taneyhill and his long-time collaborator, Jonny McAllister, to begin the gaze-on-the-beach experiment. 

The Treelady sessions resulted in the group’s first recorded project titled ‘Vakation’, released in 2018.

In the years to follow, the duo would re-connect to bring to life their home recorded demos for a second full-length, ‘If Ever’. A coming of age and sound.

In time, Ryan Fletterick and Alex Eliopolous joined the group,  lending their expertise on bass and drums. A connection allowing for continuity from the studio to the stage, where the band currently thrives and debuts material from their third record titled, ‘How Can I?’, and new material from their forthcoming fourth record. 

Chayla Hope

Exploring how sadness empowers us and love makes us human, Chayla Hope is pop's next great voice. Her songwriting and lyrics encapsulate a broad perspective based in raw emotion and led by a powerful voice that is at once classic and distinct. The Cleveland-based artist supported herself for years as a machinist, most recently at Gotta Groove Records, where she returns to press the vinyl edition of her debut album Damn, Feelings herself alongside Wax Mage Records. Her early years spent performing in drag helped hone her signature approach to style, and were no doubt part of what led her to voice the theme song for the cartoon Care Bears: Unlock the Magic.
