PINKY LEMON 
"There are a lot of bands experimenting with shoegaze, but there are honestly none doing what Pinky Lemon is doing" - The Alternative. Pinky Lemon is an eclectic take on indie rock that weaves shoegaze, pop, emo, and electronic music together to create songs that constantly evolve and surprise. Their most recent EP “Pinky Hell” demonstrated their genre-bending approach to music. Expect ethereal sonic textures and hypnotic rhythms from the self proclaimed "shoe-gays". 

For fans of: Deftones / Beach House / Smashing Pumpkins / My Bloody Valentine / Tame Impala


BALTIMORE AVENUE 
Baltimore Avenue cite their influences as coming from “post-punk, noisy 60s, 70s, 80s experimental type of stuff”. Those who experienced their palpitating performance at Battle of the Bands ‘24, held at Georgetown’s very own Leavey Esplanade, will tell you of the sweaty intensity the band embodies, creating a mesmerizing wall of sound. 

For fans of: Interpol / Black Midi / Radiohead / Red Hot Chilli Peppers / Sonic Youth


WONK 
Wonk have been described as “poets of the old school, writing about classic themes like witches, cigarettes and houses”. The chamber pop six-piece consists of clarinet, violin, piano, guitars, drums and the occasional melodica. With their unusual song structures, purposefully difficult time signatures and orchestral climaxes. Wonk have been said to make audiences audibly gasp and often cry. 

For fans of: Black Country, New Road / Wilco / Fiona Apple / Velvet Underground / Geese


SENSE MEMORY 
Sense Memory is made up of Pietro Elie on Laptop, Kiyan Saifi on guitar and electronics, and Teymour Saifi on bass. The band first started as a free improvising noise duo between Kiyan and Pietro, with the band recently adding Teymour on bass. Fans of experimental and improvised music should be excited to see Sense Memory reinvigorate the genre of “noise” to Georgetown’s campus. 

For fans of: Pharoah Sanders / Keiji Haino / free jazz / noise
