We’re still in the post show daze. It’s hard to think it has come and gone already but here we are. @dearmisty has finally released their debut self titled LP and what a stunner it is; yes they dropped singles along the way but this in its entirety is a lesson in devotion to art. @felt_rite did not disappoint- they never do. Their mastery of instrumentation does not outstrip their dedication to the Lehigh Valley independent music scene - take a moment to support their related efforts- @theslopsink@thebethlmite and all the other arts ventures we may not be aware of. Joy Overdrive what plans do you have in store? For the time being it will be wait and see. If we see you in the meantime we will say hello.
Please enjoy this virtual flyer. It doesn’t make sense but what does in 2026? Less is less- more is more. Come May 2nd at @nationalsokols you’ll see what we have in store.
If Sugarcane is a group of collaborators reaching outside their comfort zone, then what is Magazine Crush? How do you respect where you started without repeating it? Sometimes you just have to own it—this is where we and so many of us started. You remember the clothes and the haircuts, but more importantly, you remember the people, places, and things you did together. If you got the opportunity to do it again, would you do it the same or take all of your experience from the past and try to do it better?

Joy Overdrive is a collaborative effort between friends and family. Yes, there are musical relationships that go back over 20 years, but the easy thing to do is retread familiar paths. Forging a new way forward means respecting the past and knowing you can’t replicate it. Sugarcane may exemplify this best: trip-hop influences from a natural-born indie rock band. This in itself may not sound groundbreaking, but we hope our ambition to step outside of the safe and known path will warrant your interest. Please join us 5/2 at @nationalsokols with @felt_rite as we welcome our musical compatriots @dearmisty self-titled debut LP into the world. #triphop #shoegaze #breakbeat #indierock #lehighvalley
Can you have too many synthesizers? @dearmisty doesn’t think so! On May 2nd they will drench @nationalsokols with swirling synthesizers and sub frequencies. We will be adding our own flavor of synth tinged indie-pop to celebrate the release of @dearmisty ‘s self titled debut LP and be joining @felt_rite with their expertly crafted songs designed to push and pull on what left of your heart. Please join us all for this momentous occasion! Please enjoy the synthesizers. 🖤💙🖤💙🖤🎹 @moogsynthesizers #moog @rolandglobal #rolandjuno #diy #lehighvalley
It’s finally time! Our album release show will take place at the legendary @nationalsokols in Southside Bethlehem on Saturday May 2. Joining us will be a debut from indie pop friends @joyoverdrive and a return from the local scene mainstays @felt_rite .
This album has been a really long time in the making so we can’t wait to celebrate its release properly with all of you! Mark those calendars and save that date, come out strong for a night of dreams come true.
Please enjoy an audio and visual sample of things to come; an offering in good faith if you will. There are many songs in many forms that we’re excited to share with you but this will be the first. SSP- what does that mean? Maybe it’s about what it makes you feel? New and old at the same time- revisiting a time and place with old friends you haven’t seen in years. We think this will be the first of many but until then please enjoy SSP. #joyoverdrive #lehighvalley #pennsylvania #diy #indiepop #synthpop #dreampop #shoegaze #newwave #janglepop
Hello we’re Joy Overdrive! There are many things we like to share with you but those- like all good things- will come with time. Between now and then we will provide small glimpses into who we are and what we’re doing. I can promise you we’re not synthetic man and machine hybrids sent back in time to play vintage synthesizers and guitars to save the common house cat and domesticated dog for future generations. #lehighvalley #diy #synthpop newwave janglepop🎹🎸🐈🐕
