“so honest, it makes us wanna be BFFs with Kat right away. Sweet sounds and journal-worthy lyrics look good on the songstress.”- Idobi Radio
“Hamilton has a pop punk background, and you can hear that influence in the guitars and drums on The Grey Area. That being said, it’s impossible to box her into one genre, as she also incorporates poppier melodies and an impressive musical range..”- Substream magazine
For fans of Mitski, Jenny Lewis and City and Colour
BRITT KUSSEROW
Britt Kusserow is a singer/songwriter who has lived in too many places. She writes music about women, ships, and the universe. She knows very little about any of those things. Her latest EPs, "Concessions" and “Absolutions” feature a bunch of post-same-sex-divorce-songs that are full of weird weather metaphors and ideas about redemption. You can find both on Spotify.
Vents Magazine says of Kusserow: “With songs that tend to be lyrically focused, with simple, catchy guitar or piano accompaniment, she is a great fit into the folk and acoustic based genres."
HANNAH ROOTH
“Sometimes we feel overwhelmed and trapped by our emotions. I use music to express myself in a way that's so raw, my demons have nowhere left to hide. I invite you to use my work to enter the darkest parts of yourself and embrace your power.
If you're a misfit ready to build power & intimacy through emotional honesty, join our community at patreon.com/hannahroothmusic” -Hannah
Hannah Rooth makes dark americana soul & electropop music with equal parts emotional power and lyrical integrity. She organizes LA's Oasis House Show and was featured in the LA Times for anti-racist work.
“[hearing her live] was like being at my own funeral watching my body being lowered into the ground” - Charlie Lubeck / Charlie Moon
"Hannah’s honest, amazing voice captivates you right away with its inner power, so clear and vulnerable." - Tonic Grain, Hype Machine
“Hannah has a voice that is reminiscent of Lady Gaga, the presence of a fearless and charismatic visionary, and the authenticity of a history book.” - Skippy
