Exceptionally talented and captivating, Finn O’ Sullivan represents everything to be loved about the music scene in Colorado.

For fans of: Miss May I, Wage War, Motionless In White
Probably one of the heaviest bands in the Rocky Mountain region, Remedy has not only some of the most technical metal you can find, but also some great melodic hooks that keep their songs stuck in your head. From their hometown of Fort Collins and beyond, Remedy catches the eyes and hears of listeners with their impressive talents on their respective instruments. Similar to modern-day heavy hitters such as Motionless In White and Wage War, Remedy fits right in with the genre and has the sound to take them to the top. With an especially polished sound thanks to sound engineer Taylor Hahn of Hahn Audio, Remedy continues to release their signature heavy releases consistently - making sure you always have something to look forward to.
You can listen to Remedy’s single “Tempted” down below or on any streaming service you prefer - and make sure to also check out their newest single “Annihilate” on all streaming platforms. Additionally, don’t miss their EP release show on June 7th at the Moxi Theater in Greeley!
Little Trips

Catchy, groovy, exciting, trippy… these words are only the tip of the iceberg to describe Little Trips’ music. Consisting of Greg Laut, Jason Paton, and Tiana Thakur - you would never be able to tell that Little Trips is just a trio. With a sound as explosive as theirs, it’s mind-boggling to see that it’s only 3 musicians onstage; albeit, exceptionally talented ones at that. Their songs take you on a journey through the fabric of time and space and leave you with a feeling of euphoria and bliss from their music that gets you hooked and drags you back in for another adventure.
Catch Little Trips on June 22nd at the Skylark Lounge in Denver alongside Mean World artist Tarantula Bill, as well as Caftan (Texas) and Mellowphobia (Kansas). You can also stream Little Trips’ music on your favorite online streaming platforms, or better yet, enjoy their fun music videos on their YouTube channel - which you can preview below!
