Death by Indie
Indie emo-punk band Death by Indie switch things up with their latest release, a three-track EP titled Paenia’s Pop Hits. This collection of songs, originally recorded in the winter of 2022, layers electric and acoustic guitars with strong, emotive vocals and no drums or percussion, showcasing a different side of the band while still keeping their signature vulnerability and warmth.

Danny and The Darlings
Wilmington’s own Dan Robinson, who records under the moniker Danny and The Darlings, is back with a brand-new album that’s as big as it is bold. Teaming up once again with Mike Bardzik at Noisy Little Critter Studios in Downingtown, PA, Robinson delivers a whopping thirteen-track record titled Wilmington Optimist. The album is a fun, nostalgic ride—packed with jump-around power chords and moments of emo introspection that invite you to sit and reflect. Dive into his full collection of music now on Bandcamp.
Jean Alter
True to its name, Wilmo was produced, written, performed, recorded, engineered, and mastered right here in Wilmington by local talent Javier Bennett, who records under the moniker Jean Alter. This bedroom-pop EP is a sweet treat—filled with vulnerable lyrics, airy synths, grand piano flourishes, and chunky, reverb-soaked guitar. Follow Jean Alter on Bandcamp to keep up with new releases and show your support.
Sug Daniels

After making waves with her solo project and performing for audiences across the country, her music is finally available both digitally and on CD via her official Bandcamp.
