Roses & Revolutions
Indie pop band, Roses & Revolutions, is fronted by singer Alyssa Coco. In the fall of 2016, R&R released “The Pines,” a rallying point for fans at shows as well as online with features at Paste, Indie Shuffle, All Things Go, Yahoo! Music and others. Spotify Canada discovered “The Pines,” added it to a playlist, and it took off, eventually reaching #2 on the Viral Chart and today has over 2 million streams. From the viral success of “The Pines,” the band booked opening gigs with accomplished acts like Kaleo, Nina Nesbitt, K. Flay, & Gin Wigmore, as well as their own headlining shows. R&R is gearing up to release their second EP with Nettwerk Records.
KOPPS
MUSIC HAS HAD IT TOO GOOD FOR TOO LONG. Rochester, New York four-piece electronic-rock-whateverists, KOPPS, live by this mantra. Bringing accountability back to pop sensibility, they intend to both antagonize and revitalize. Loudly. Their song “Dumb” has amassed over 2 million plays on Spotify with just a one-word chorus (which is of course, “dumb”). Produced by Daniel Armbruster of Joywave (the band featured KOPPS on their own leading single “Tongues”), the music leaves no room for complacency and will push any fence-sitters to one side or the other
