Holy Pinto
Holy Pinto is an indie-pop group led by songwriter, Aymen Saleh. It originally began as two kids in their hometown of Canterbury, England and is now one adult based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sweetening their original youthful raw, punk sound with a blend of colourful indie-pop and singer-songwriter stylings, they released their sophomore record “Adult” in the spring of 2019.
Their most recent release was the concept EP titled “Milwaukee: A Love Story of Truck Stops, Soccer Bars, and a Big Blue Van” in early 2020, receiving plaudits from local outlets such as 88.9 Radio MKE, and the Journal Sentinel, alongside national publications such as NPR, including a spot on their coveted SXSW Austin 100” list of up-and-coming artists.
They are now working on a third album, set for release in late 2022.
“Sweetly jangling, goodnatured Britpop — uses his songwriting to reflect on the pull of both places and the pressures inherent in growing up. Dispensed with abundant charm and grace, his songs feel warm and lived-in.” Stephen Thompson, NPR

Browns Crew
Browns Crew is a Latin Hip Hop duo comprised of El Sebas and Cristo Paz, two emcees, writers, performers, curators, and producers. Their upbringings are examples of the Mexican diaspora and are reflected in the production and composition of their art and music. They share their visions and experiences in English and Spanish and are known for infusing Caribbean sounds into their live performances and recordings. In 2019, Browns Crew was named a winner at Summerfest’s 2019 Emerging Artist Series and awarded Radio Milwaukee 88Nine’s 2019 Song of the Year for their single release, “Mil Aires”.
“Latin hip-hop duo Browns Crew are helping to lead a ‘South Side renaissance’… The group fuses Latin American sounds with hip-hop drums and cadences to deliver stories of immigration, struggle and life as Latinos from the South Side of Milwaukee.” – Vianca Fuster, LionArt Media
Browns Crew have worked hard to the point where it is undeniable that they are advancing the sound of hip hop not only on the city’s South Side, but across Milwaukee.” – Allen Hallas, Breaking & Entering

Paper Holland
After first discovering Paper Holland, you may find it surprising that they aren’t signed to a west coast label, living in their vans along the Pacific Coast Highway, and ignoring booking requests in favor of another day out on the water. You may be further surprised to learn that they’re from the Midwest, but their hooks are sunny, their harmonies are warm, and their friendly demeanor welcomes all into a beach-soaked world of wonder.
Formed by the nucleus of frontmen Joe Tomcheck and Andy Kosanke, the band’s music opens a portal to the nostalgic realm of imagined vacations and wide-eyed dreams. Their atmospheric pop sound traverses land, air, and sea while encompassing a wide and varying selection of instrumentation. Such style has landed them comparisons to Hippo Campus, Vampire Weekend, and Phoenix.
Since releasing “Galapagos” (2018), Paper Holland have been writing music to confront different global and societal issues, which they’ve only briefly touched on so far. The band may still be dancing in the sand and splashing in the water but plan to be more forthcoming with their concerns about the rising sea levels, warming temperatures, political injustices, and isolating social climates. As we romanticize tropical getaways to be the ideal escapism from chaotic urban life, the band is well aware that escapism is not a permanent solution
Through the darkness Paper Holland see a brighter future but it’s going to require leaving the beach. Do you wanna go?

De La Luz
Through a combination of theatrics, filmmaking and music, De La Luz tells a story that draws upon the ethnic backgrounds and experiences of Vincent Black and Mario Lanza, weaving those elements into a sci-fi-influenced tale.
“Musically it’s very genuine and personal,” says guitarist Lanza. “There’s a rawness to this and we’re aiming high for studio-quality R&B pop-alternative music. It has a lot of energy and a big sound yet a dynamic that’s melodic and somber.”
