Racket

Philadelphia emo trio Carly Cosgrove channels raw vulnerability into a blend of mathy indie rock, '90s garage, and Midwest emo, earning a 4.8/5 from New Noise Magazine for their 2024 Wax Bodega sophomore LP The Cleanest of Houses Are Empty - praised as "a near-perfect album" and "everything that is good about current emo." Drawing comparisons to Motion City Soundtrack and their Philly emo forebears like Algernon Cadwallader, the band pairs anthemic hooks with unflinchingly personal lyrics about depression, anxiety, and self-reflection. Catch them live at Racket in New York on Sunday, April 19!

LA-based synth-pop songwriter Caroline Kingsbury channels 80s new-romantic energy into boldly queer, emotionally charged anthems - her 2024 EP "I Really Don't Care!" was named one of Atwood Magazine's 25 Best EPs of the year, and her 2025 festival debut at Lollapalooza helped push her to 300k monthly Spotify listeners. Now she brings her Shock Treatment Tour to Racket in New York on Thursday, April 23 - don't miss it.
