Sacred Monsters
One of Philadelphia's most celebrated female-fronted rock bands of the roaring 2020s,
Sacred Monsters is a 4-piece tour de force. Drawing inspiration from the raw, edgy sounds of
'90s heroes like The Breeders and Veruca Salt, they're serving a visceral blend of soaring
female-driven vocals and gritty guitar riffs—but you wouldn't quite call them "grunge."
They're in a class of their own, making music that cheerfully makes its own rules—and
keeps the patriarchy firmly in its crosshairs.
Sacred Monsters features Kathleen "KP" Poliski (bass guitar/vocals), Julie Exter (guitar/vocals),
Fataday Korngor (guitar/vocals), and Nick Cervini (drums/percussion). The band is currently
preparing for their fall 2024 tour of North America.

Terminal
TERMINAL is the soundtrack to a world unbalanced, reeling and spinning out of control, running out of time.
A barely stable alloy of industrial music and glam rock, each TERMINAL anthem is a broadside against the
atrocities of our lost humanity and its devastation of our planet.
TERMINAL is the work of Thomas Mark Anthony, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
A lifelong anti-apartheid and civil rights activist over a life lived in South Africa, Canada and the
United States, Anthony is joined by David Ross Phillips and Sonia Weimann
for the group's powerful and confrontational live shows.
Signed by Metropolis Records in 2021, their debut album Blacken the Skies was critically
acclaimed as "both an indictment and a call to resistance." The second album The New Republic
made many best-of-2023 lists and earned the observation, "[Anthony] makes his case for being
the genre's best lyricist."

Clauds
Hailing from Köln, Germany, Claudia Strepp aka Clauds leveraged a lifetime of wildlife photography,
filmmaking and animal welfare work to transform herself into an oil panter with an unconventional style
and focus.
Beginning with her documentary work on anti-poaching conservationists in South Africa, many of
her recent paintings cover the plight of wild horses in the United States—demonized by the
agricultural industry, persecuted by the government, they are the latest in a long tragic line
of native Americans in danger of losing their lives and freedom.
Clauds' work has been featured in National Geographic and has been exhibited in North American and
European galleries. Presently, she exhibits work and offers arts instruction in her Köln atelier.
