Days Like These began in 2002 when a group of high school friends from Vineland, New Jersey, decided to chase their love of music beyond the classroom. Signing to Lobster Records, home to artists like Yellowcard and Lorene Drive, they quickly made their mark. The band bought a van, hit the road, and took their songs across the country, culminating in a full run on the 2004 Vans Warped Tour.
While they were part of the early wave of the emo movement, Days Like These never fit neatly into that category. Their anthemic choruses, soaring melodies, and infectious hooks gave them a sound that transcended the scene, pulling in fans who were simply looking for music that felt big, honest, and alive.
After stepping back to pursue other chapters in life, the band has returned with a renewed energy and a completely fresh approach to songwriting. Now, stronger and more focused than ever, Days Like These are ready to pick up where they left off, only this time with a deeper perspective and a drive to take their music further than ever before.

FRND CRCL is a South Jersey pop-punk band praised for their "nostalgic yet strikingly infectious" sound, blending 2000s-era influences with modern twists and dual vocals to create stadium-ready anthems. Their albums, like Suburban Dictionary and JRSY FRSH, are described as conceptual, with introspective, relatable lyrics, and energetic, high-fidelity production. Critics note their skill in producing melodic hooks, energetic instrumentals, and a sound that is fresh and uniquely their own, carving a distinct niche in the modern pop-punk scene.
JRSY FRSH (2025): A vibrant, eight-track album that is a testament to the band's evolution, blending live-ready energy with stadium-sized choruses and genre-defying songwriting.
Suburban Dictionary (2023): Their third full-length album, a conceptual work exploring suburban life, and often listed among top albums of 2023, per Pittsburgh Music Magazine.
Internet Noise (2020): Their sophomore release that gained significant traction, with one reviewer calling it a "near flawless record".

Teen Idle is the musical moniker of NJ-based producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sara Abdelbarry. In middle school, Sara was convinced she would become a cardiac surgeon – conveniently, her craft still gets to the heart, just with sound instead of a scalpel.
Inspired by the multitude of pop and rock artists she used to watch on MTV starting at 8 years old, Sara knew there was a special magic about music she had to experience for herself.
Meshing the heartfelt nature of influences like Lindsey Buckingham with the grittiness and abrasiveness of '90s grunge and the lovelorn tendency of '60s acts like The Supremes, Teen Idle makes cinematic rock music with a statement.
Teen Idle's debut LP Nonfiction is out now on Boston-based indie label H1 Massive. In 2020, Teen Idle's first EP, Insomniac Dreams, was released on NYC indie label Green Witch Recordings. Premiering to early acclaim, the album charted at #10 on the WRSU charts and remained in the station's Top 30 for 5 weeks straight. Singles from the album also played on KEXP, KXLU, and DKFM. The album was also released on CD by Sunday Records, home of one of Slowdive's early releases.
