ALLEYCATS DIY PRESENTS

Newfare

It all started in a basement in late 2024- a few friends chasing the feeling that only music could give us. What began as casual turned into something real.

Between long rehersals, broken drum sets, and writing our own music, we realized that pursuing music wasn't just a choice- it was the only thing that ever felt right. We've never truly felt like we belonged anywhere else, and through our music, we've found where we do.

Cabin Fever

Formed in 2015, Cabin Fever has quickly become one of Connecticut's up-and-coming bands. Comprised of four hometown friends, the quartet incorporates various styles of music such as funk, progressive, blues, and more to create an eclectic and energetic performance that will keep you on the dance floor.

Point Radar

Punk band from New Haven, CT.

The Forest Room

The Forest Room is a music project based in Cheshire, Connecticut.
The sound of this act could be described as a very organic blend of post-folk and alternative rock. The warmth and feel of the acoustic guitar melodies blend in with haunting sonic textures, programmed beats and lush, atmospheric sounds that blink an eye to genres such as shoegaze and dream-pop.
The Forest Room has a strikingly distinctive sound, not only due to the seamless blend of styles and textures but also to the fascinating dropped guitar tunings, which add a lot of depth to the riffs and chords. It’s incredible to listen to these songs and actually realize that the arrangements are very minimalistic in nature, effortlessly built upon simple, yet effective elements that hit the spot. The coordinates in this project fall somewhere in between experimental music, trip-hop, and acoustic instrumentals, making for a creative approach that’s rather broad and hard to categorize.

It’s easy to draw comparisons with artists the likes of Kaki King, Portishead, The Album Leaf or Massive Attack, just to mention but a few. One of the main characteristics of The Forest Room is the artist’s ability to create cinematic atmospheres that feel big and roomy, entrancing listeners and taking them hand in hand through a memorable sonic journey. This is music that will work well as a soundtrack to your daily activity, but it is not just “background music.” It will captivate your imagination and set the mood just right.
