Conrad Richards has been playing and recording music in Chicago for over 20 years. He claims to have written over 2000 songs and poems. He has played in a number of bands, including The Empty’s, The Orphans, NESST, and mostly billed as his namesake, Conrad Richards. He’s played at some of Chicago's premier dive bars and music venues. The set-up and sound varies from show to show: sometimes singer-songwriter, sometimes punk, sometimes dirty blues, sometimes garage rock…but always making it his own. His sound has been compared to Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, Eels, and Nick Cave. Monica Kendrick of the Chicago Reader called him "a singer-songwriter working at a riveting level of energy and charisma." She adds, "guitar and harmonica blare and rattle and chug like the soundtrack to a rail-riding hobo’s apocalyptic nightmare.” Currently, Conrad is writing and recording in his home studio called “The Bunker.”

Dorian Anthony Alexander Tajbakhsh, better known as Dorian Taj, is a guitarist and singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL. He made his first records with the hardcore punk band Articles of Faith, whom he joined just before the recording of their first album, "Give Thanks" produced by Bob Mould. Afterward, he played in the local noise band, End Result, appearing on their lone release, a 12" EP called "Ward" released on Steve Albini's Ruthless label. He later formed a rock band called "Wait For Light". After living in Los Angeles for a time, the band returned to Chicago to record the debut Album at Phil Bonnet's Solid Sound. After a European tour Wait For Light disbanded. D.T. eventually began performing with a band under his name and has released a number of records. His new album called On The Loose(Sept. 2020) Vinly release 2022 with his band (Anthony Rubino, Danny Severson, Josh Hudson and Ryan Farnham).
