About Mondo Cozmo:

Listen | Watch Video

Mondo Cozmo, aka Josh Ostrander, is a Philly-raised, West Coast-based rock & roll songsmith. This is for the Barbarians is his third album following his 2020 release, New Medicine, and 2017’s Plastic Soul. This is for the Barbarians should be consumed as a singular piece. A complete idea. It has a beginning and an end. It’s a story. It weighs heavy on the death of Ostrander’s uncle while at the same time celebrating life. It’s dark and beautiful. It’s bright and funny. It’s the human experience in a year of isolation. It’s a slice of Ostrander’s liver and a piece of his heart.

About Mike Mains & The Branches:

Mike Mains & The Branches is an indie rock band based in Nashville. Since their conception in 2012, the group has built a reputation for their fantastical instrumentation and unforgettable live performances. Mains began writing songs early in his career between shifts at a casino, which is an apt illustration of Mains perspective on life: it’s a comedy, a tragedy, and a fairytale.

It’s that perspective that laces itself throughout the band’s catalogue, where the songs make you dance while lyrics make you cry. And while the juxtaposition of glitter and gloom should feel confusing, it renders itself joyfully therapeutic. And that’s their goal—particularly in their live shows—to strap you into a rollercoaster you never want to get off of.

Their boisterousness began when founding members Mike and Shannon fell in love, got married, and in doing so, minted the focal experience of the band’s music and lyrics; not just love, but the swirling highs and the bruising lows of choosing to live life together. After releasing an EP and two full-length albums, they chose to partner with Tooth & Nail Records on their latest release. The record, When We Were In Love, is their most honest yet. Although their agenda remains the same—to combat numbness with joy, pain, and wings to fly—this latest pursuit is more of an honest reflection in the struggle to love. The result is an infectious and colorful album full of tragedy, comedy, and the freedom to forget fairytales.
