West 22nd

West 22nd is a rising indie rock band hailing from Austin, Texas, composed of lead vocalist Logan Madsen, rhythm guitarist Gabe Acevedo, lead guitarist Jeremy Ancheta, and bassist Jet Beck. Since their formation in 2022, the band has been making waves in the local music scene, with their name paying homage to West 22nd Street in Austinʼs West Campus, where their journey began. Known for their high-energy performances and compelling songwriting, West 22nd quickly built a loyal following. Their breakout single, “Sunburns,” has amassed over two million streams on Spotify, cementing their reputation as a band on the rise. In 2024, they achieved a groundbreaking milestone by becoming the first band entirely composed of current University of Texas students to perform at the prestigious Austin City Limits Music Festival. This historic moment marked a turning point in their career, showcasing their growing influence in the indie music scene. Despite the demands of academic life, West 22nd has managed to maintain an impressive performance schedule, playing over 100 shows, including notable appearances at South by Southwest (SXSW), Hullabaloo, and Forty Acres Fest. Their debut EP, “All the Way Home,” released in August 2023, highlights their musical evolution and has received critical acclaim for its heartfelt lyrics and polished sound. With an expanding fan base, West 22nd has taken their music beyond Austin, performing in major cities such as Los Angeles, Denver, Nashville, and Atlanta. Their unwavering commitment to their craft, combined with their ability to create an intimate connection with audiences, has solidified their status as an emerging force in the indie rock world.

Listening to Pretty Jane is a bit like leaning on your slightly older, begrudgingly wiser, yet equally confused best friend when shit hits the fan. In a mosaic of alternative and indie punctuated by unassuming pop appeal, the lived experiences of the band breathe fluidly through the tracks as their music yearns for connection, intimacy, for home or the past. The Detroit-born and Nashville-based trio—Trevor Dalrymple [vocals], Luca DiVergilio [bass], and Ethan Strain [lead guitar]—fearlessly flaunt personalities just as outsized as these emotions, garnering them an online following of over one-hundred thousand. After amassing ten million-plus streams and earning early acclaim from A1234, SHEESH, and many others, the band continues to give form to relatable feelings on an upcoming 2025 EP.
