Sleave is a dynamic four piece whose sound brings together elements of alternative rock, punk, and American hardcore while also being reminiscent of the American grunge and emo movements of the 90's. 
 Formed in Richmond, VA in 2016, Sleave began after Julien Robert and Charlie Bowen met at a party, where they quickly bonded over a shared interest in punk and alternative music. 
 Sleave debuted two Bandcamp exclusive releases (‘Gold EP 2016’ and Better Now/Empty Talk 7” 2017) and played countless shows in and around Richmond. The band then took a performing hiatus in 2018 to record their first full length album. The band worked tirelessly with the help of Pedro Aida of Audio Verite Studios and Andreas Magnusson, both of whom they had worked with on previous releases. During this time, Daniel Salinas joined on lead guitar and Seth Toney replaced Sam Mclelland on bass. 
 In June 2019, Sleave announced their partnership with UK label Engineer Records, and released their first full length record "Don't Expect Anything" in October of the same year. Thanks to the album's popularity overseas, Sleave toured steadily for several years and played most notably in India and Canada. Since then, Sleave switched guitarists, welcoming Olivier Charlas to the group. Sleave released the EP, "All These Songs Are About You" in October of 2023 with the help of Engineer Records and Sell The Heart Records. Production was done with Pedro Aida at Audio Verite, and mastering was done by Jon Markson

Have you ever felt like your back was against the wall with no way out? Like you had the weight of the world and everyone in it on your shoulders? If so, you're everything that the members of Seneca Burns personally relate to. Driving guitar riffs, perpetual intensity, and a megaphone for the mind, Seneca Burns are four star cross'd musicians who came together at the apex of one of the world's toughest times to reanimate that Mid 2000s sound "One More Time" Sick of the monotony of the entertainment industry in their hometown of Charlotte, NC, they led the charge and helped formulate a movement within the community. Headlining their first show, selling the building out, and starting a trend of doing that very same thing over the past two years, they created a party that was can't miss. People come together in the Carolinas to celebrate life and connection, and they often do it wherever Seneca Burns is playing. 2024 starts early with All Things Considered, a Sophmore EP from the four piece, Pixelated Pop Punk act. An early establishment of diversity, showing that Power Chords may make you a Princess, but a quartet of Princesses can Slay. Atticus Lane Matt Jarvis John Jenkins Christian Whittington
