Pool Kids with Sydney Sprague and Chase Petra

Tallahassee’s Pool Kids blend pop, emo, and math rock with emotional clarity. Praised by Hayley Williams, they’ve shared stages with The Mountain Goats and PUP.

Sydney Sprague, an Arizona-born indie pop-rock artist, merges 90s alt-rock vibes with dark humor and vulnerable storytelling. Known for "steve," "quitter," and the streaming hit "object permanence," she toured with Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional. Her sophomore album, "somebody in hell loves you," written during lockdowns, is a clever mix of melancholy and uplifting tunes, exploring both her past and the lives of those around her.

Chase Petra, from Long Beach, CA, crafts "quarter-life-crisis pop" exploring growth and life's unpredictability, with introspective themes in their album LULLABIES FOR DOGS.
