Baums
BAUMS is an art rock band from Atlanta. Atypical song structures and hues of noise rock, post-punk, experimental, jazz, and prog combine into captivating performances rich in melody, groove, and atmosphere. BAUMS released its debut eponymous EP last November, almost immediately selling out of physicals as soon as they were released. A consistent string of shows and some organic buzz—coupled with sparse song releases that fans are eager to stream in between live shows—have steadily yet quickly grown BAUMS’ presence and influence in indie and DIY music in the Southeast.

Safety Switch
Safety Switch is a new Atlanta-based project comprised of some of the indie scene’s heaviest hitters, featuring Tom Sinclair (Elesa Sparkle, major) and Tim Holder (Bathe Alone, Sleepers Club) on guitar, Anna Griffith (Bathe Alone, Sleepers Club) on bass, and Mason Palanti (Mallbangs, Scattrbrain, Sleepers Club) on drums. Formed in 2025, the four-piece brings a nearly exorcising sound that combines the ‘90s DIY post-punk twang of Slint, the incandescent slow rock disco of Dry Cleaning, and the emotional drive of ‘In Utero’-era Nirvana. What started out as a side project between four friends while working on respective projects comes a new indie rock sound the Atlanta scene needs. — Aja Arnold, Mainline
