Hailing from the Twin Cities of Minnesota, their brand of MN power pop is influenced by many artists throughout the decades and brings what fans call “nostalgic vibes'' to listeners. Pullstring’s palette of sounds ranges from bittersweet melancholy to upbeat anthems. In the past couple years as a band, Pullstring has gone on tours and played to packed venues around the Midwest including 7th St Entry, Turf Club, and The Maintenance Shop. Pullstring has already been on festival lineups such as Eau Claire Fall Fest, KURE Fest, and Northwoods Rock Rally. Pullstring has opened for large touring acts such as ALEXSUCKS, George Clanton, The Melismatics, and We Are Scientists. DISPLAY CASE Based out of Des Moines, IA, Display Case is an alternative rock powerhouse comprising Jordan Essy on vocals, Carter Dull on guitar, Dylan Medina on bass, and Joey Heirigs on drums. With a sound that blends raw emotion with electrifying energy, Display Case has been making waves in the Midwest music scene. In 2022, the band's singles "Redacted" and "Moving On" from their EP Better, Yet put them in the international spotlight. Garnering attention from renowned news outlets such as New Fury Media, Alternative Press, Scene Daddy, and State of the Scene, Display Case cemented their position as a band on the rise. In late 2023, Display Case returned with their powerful and emotionally charged follow-up, The Last Generation EP. Featuring singles "Get Out" and "I Should've Known," the EP captivated audiences and saw a surge in streaming plays, further solidifying Display Case's status as a force to be reckoned with in the alternative rock genre. Known for their high-octane live performances, Display Case is a band that demands to be experienced firsthand, delivering a visceral and unforgettable show every time they hit the stage.
