City Of Sound

CITY OF SOUND is a DIY cinematic-rock band known for their epic ‘in your face’ live performances, dynamic orchestration, and movie-like wall of sound. With comparisons to the likes of M83, Coldplay, Muse, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and Angels and Airwaves, they have found a large following from the gaming community and have cultivated a loud and supportive fanbase around the world with their statement of ‘Love over Fear’.

After the release of their debut album ‘Silent Empire’, they have now moved to their next era of Arrival where their base has fully funded their next collection of songs to help them take over the music scene. Roaring out of their collective-home of Indiana, this D.I.Y. cinematic-rock band has grown its loud and intense fan base from the ground up.

“Our specific sound was always the vision,” says Jay Wright (vocals/piano). “I wanted to create something that makes people feel epic, hopeful, and comes for your fucking heart. Luckily, I found people who wanted to be a part of the same thing.”

Rounding out the City of Sound is Nova on Violin, John on guitar, and Chris on drums, creating a unique flavor of arena-sized cinematic-rock music that’s ever present with their debut album 'Silent Empire'. A concept album that is crafted around a central character, Empire, and her journey of reflection to become something greater.

“The song 'Odyssey' is the beginning of that journey,” says Wright — the band’s primary songwriter, producer and arranger. “It begins with her world destroyed, left with nothing, but with everything to become. She makes the choice to take the journey she has long resisted. It's something that is central to our message of love over fear.”

Talking more about the message being showcased note-by-note on the album, Wright adds: “I wanted the album to address something that I felt was missing not only in myself but also in society as a whole. I found myself searching outside of myself for identity, trying to force outside attachment to tell me who I was. It wasn't until I took the journey into my own insecurities that I could truly address who I really was and who I wanted to become.

Broken down into three chapters, Silent Empire takes the listener through 15 tracks full of epic storytelling and soaring vocals. LOVE OVER FEAR.

The Inside Out

James Howard, John Landino, Andi Wright, and Zack Apuzzo have joined forces to share a creative vision as the Connecticut-based band The Inside Out.

Individually, their musical journeys are diverse and well-seasoned. Together, they strive to provide familiar tunes with a fresh perspective that indie/alt fans have been craving.

Since its formation, The Inside Out has been gaining notoriety throughout the New York tri-state area and beyond with its thrilling sound that incorporates influences from rock bands such as The Killers, Modest Mouse, and The Strokes, and has made multiple appearances at Launch Music Conference in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

In November 2022, the band released its 11-track debut album “No Brains, No Blood.” and followed the project’s success with its popular single “Mr. Arrogant” in August 2023, as well as the singles “Too Late” and “Good Times” in 2024. The quartet is currently working on its highly anticipated forthcoming album “Road Trip,” which is slated for release in 2025.

Justin Charles

Justin Charles is a 22-year-old singer-songwriter, producer, and self-described "pop boy" on a mission to bring larger-than-life pop music back to center stage. Inspired by the confident energy of artists like Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber's Believe era, he blends booming production, infectious hooks, and modern storytelling into a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

​

A lifelong creator, Justin taught himself music production at just 10 years old and still produces much of his music from his bedroom. Beyond the music itself, he takes a hands-on role in every aspect of his project, from visual direction and styling to content creation and marketing.

​

His DIY approach has helped him build an audience of over 25,000 followers on TikTok, where he shares his journey as an independent artist while cultivating a growing community around his music. His career highlights include performing on a nationwide tour with Boys of Summer (a popular influencer event/concert), appearing twice at Playlist Live, and currently preparing for his East Coast tour in 2026. Most recently, he was nominated regionally in his hometown for Pop Artist of the Year at the 2026 Eddies Awards.

​

At a time when few artists are embracing the classic pop boy archetype, Justin Charles is proudly leaning into it. Equal parts songwriter, producer, creative director, and performer, he's redefining what being a "pop boy" means in the 21st century.
