KEV MOE It's hard for me to have a favorite song of this next level futuristic band. I fell in love with them the first time I experienced their amazing energy at a virtual concert held in Fort Dupont Park summer of 2020. It was magical!! I really don't have a favorite but Complicated rings in my head constantly, Houston is straight fire and the video for Smile is the feel good video of all time. Artist's Prayer shows tremendous humility. I could go on and on with these trailblazers.

Got Soul Music I fell in love with Black Alley when I heard Artists' Prayer, but Bad Girl owns my heart!!! The funk on this track is crazy!!!! Favorite track: Bad Girl.

Tracy Smith This band has it all-great vocals, a blend of genres you don't hear together everyday and a sound that, at least to me, is their own. Love this band, hope they have great success going forward. Favorite track: Heavy Hitters.

Miss Buttafly I fell in love with Black Alley my first time going to Up and Up Open Mic. I've been a fan ever since. Animal on the drums and Kacey on the mic makes a helluva combo! Favorite track: Virgin Suicide.

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.
