BEACH BUNNY

On 2025's Tunnel Vision, Beach Bunny is getting back to basics: urgent, guitar-based indie rock with pop melodies. Woven through the album, “Just Around the Corner” echoes dynamic '90s indie rock courtesy of fuzzed-out guitars and crashing drums, while slashing riffs and precise rhythms propel the melodic “Big Pink Bubble.” “Violence,” meanwhile, veers between a chorus propelled by buzzing guitars and Trifilio’s pleading vocals and a buoyant chorus hook; “Chasm” is driving punk-pop; and the vivacious title track is a pogo-worthy rock anthem.

“On Tunnel Vision, we wanted to get back to our guitar roots and some of that original sound we had,” says vocalist/guitarist songwriter Lili Trifilio. “This one was more like a classic Beach Bunny record.”

Beginning a decade ago as a Trifilio solo project, Beach Bunny have amassed a loyal fanbase thanks to things such as constant touring and collaborations with artists like Tegan and Sara and Marina. And today, Beach Bunny continues to nurture their community with appearances at Coachella and Lollapalooza and by curating their own Pool Party festivals in their hometown of Chicago.

So far, this approach has worked like a charm. The band—the name refers interchangeably to both Trifilio and the full band that also features bassist/lead guitarist Anthony Vaccaro and drummer Jon Alvarado—has landed viral hits such as the RIAA-certified Platinum "Prom Queen" and "Cloud 9” and the RIAA-certified Gold "Sports," and earned over a billion streams on Spotify alone plus countless appearances on critics' best of the year lists. 2022’s Emotional Creature, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart, while “Vertigo," the first single released from Tunnel Vision, became their highest charting song at AAA radio to date upon its 2024 release.


THE BETHS

"One of the greatest indie-rock bands of their time." - Rolling Stone

New Zealand indie rock heroes The Beths’ latest album Straight Line Was A Lie is a catchy, instant classic. Written in Los Angeles and self-recorded in the band's hometown of Auckland, Straight Line Was A Lie (their first release for ANTI-) follows 2022's critically celebrated LP Expert in A Dying Field. Lead singer and songwriter Liz Stokes delves deeper into her psyche to address everything from roundabout progress to physical and mental health challenges, and fraught family dynamics. Inspired by The Go-Go's, Olivia Rodrigo, filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, and Stephen King's On Writing, amongst others, Stokes' songwriting has achieved startling new depths of insight and vulnerability. Fans will agree that Straight Line Was A Lie is the most sharply observant, truthful, and poetic Beths project to date.


WISHY

On the heels of their breakthrough debut album, Wishy returns with a new six-song EP titled Planet Popstar. A dreamy and pop-forward compilation of b-side tracks, the EP was recorded in the same sessions that birthed Triple Seven, the band’s widely acclaimed debut (“one of the best indie rock debuts in recent memory” says Stereogum). A critical success, their debut album recently landed on “best of the year” lists from The New York Times, GQ, Alt Press, Paste, Stereogum, Uproxx, NME, and more. 

Wishy’s Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites first met in high school in Indiana but didn’t connect as friends until later. For years, their musical paths crossed and diverged, until they finally came together to form a new band. Wishy’s early days were fruitful, with Krauter and Pitchkites already armed with the songs destined for their debut all the way back in 2021. After prior monikers and iterations, Wishy was born as a kaleidoscope of alternative music’s semi-recent history, with traces of dream pop, grunge, and power-pop swirling together, bolstered by the rare musical synergy between Krauter and Pitchkites. 

In late 2022, the band had a fateful session in Los Angeles with Ben Lumsdaine, who ended up engineering, mixing and co-producing Triple Seven, and its tangential EPs, Paradise and Planet Popstar. The songs kept coming, and after another trip to LA and a session in Bloomington, IN, the band had recorded a total of 21 songs, with five of them appearing on their 2023 EP Paradise, and another ten on their breakout full-length Triple Seven. Following the enthusiastic reception and critical acclaim of both releases, a buzzy US headline tour, and looking ahead at an already packed-full 2025, the band decided not to leave the remaining six songs on the cutting room floor. “These songs deserved a life of their own,” says Pitchkites. 

Enter Planet Popstar. Wishy’s latest offering is a sun-soaked, hazy reflection on the band’s central themes–love, life, self-discovery and having fun. It’s a compilation of tracks that, when presented as a unit, shows another side of the band’s kaleidoscopic sound that deftly plays with nostalgia and genre. “We really wanted to lean into the high-production style and had a lot of fun in the studio using these songs as an opportunity to explore a more polished, adult-contemporary feel” says Krauter. 

Living in Indianapolis, Krauter works as a music teacher, giving drum and guitar lessons to students. Pitchkites is a seamstress by trade and often makes embroidered merch for the band. Coming up in a scene defined by hardcore, Krauter and Pitchkites instead find themselves writing melodies in their heads while driving to work, pulling music from the air and arriving at a more ethereal interpretation of the Midwest expanse. 

On Planet Popstar’s title track, Krauter takes the mic amidst a wash of heavy guitar tones and production plucked from the early aughts, sweetened by Pitchkites’ dreamy backup harmonies. Named for the glowing, five pointed star that the iconic bubblegum-pink Nintendo character Kirby hails from, Planet Popstar is a bite-sized antidote to the anxiety and precarity of life in the 2020s. 

At the top of the EP, hypnotizing indie-pop swooner “Fly” only solidifies that notion. “I found a way / to be grateful every day / even when I sit and wait / knowing I gotta fly,” sings Pitchites over a wash of doubled vocals and hazy guitars on this sister track to the Pitchkites-led titular track on Triple Seven, also co-written with collaborator Steve Marino. The band delivers another dose of catchy alt pop with “Over and Over,” a track that unwinds into a propulsive chorus, rife with addictive melodies, intricate guitar work and Krauter’s idiosyncratic vocals. The rest of the EP sprawls out across genre and theme, collaging the original GarageBand demos made for the songs with shinier contributions made in producer Ben Lumsdaine’s Los Angeles studio. 

From the intimate beginnings of two old friends trading bedroom demos, Wishy’s early discography has bloomed into a bold, ambitious introduction with the release of Paradise and Triple Seven. With the addition of Planet Popstar, Wishy completes a loose web of vignettes and snapshots capturing them in a whirlwind couple of years — exiting the pandemic, embarking on an embryonic project, making sense of their musical pasts while forging a musical future alongside one another, each of them on a journey of self-acceptance and self-understanding.
