Boston-bred Bay Faction return to their roots with their latest EP Year of the Dog (2026). The record chronicles the simple and tragic lives of Jasper Collins and Whitney Miller, whose introductions came via the band's self-titled record in 2015. During the Fall of 2025, the band live-recorded their new EP with the intention of honoring, clarifying, and furthering the characters' wider narrative. This Spring, they will hit the road for their "Year of the Dog" US Tour. These shows will be the first time the entire story of Jasper Collins and Whitney Miller will be performed in full, spanning the band's discography, and completing the Jasper Wildlife Association universe.

NUFFER is the solo project of LA-based songwriter/producer Jake Nuffer. After introducing his off-kilter genre-blurring world on his debut EP A-OK (2022) praised for its range and playful songwriting, NUFFER has continued building a devoted audience through his viral “new riff every day” videos. He is currently gearing up to release his second EP MDPOPE, expanding his sonic palette while leaning into a darker, more intimate direction.
