A Shrewdness of Apes
A Shrewdness of Apes started as an acoustic duo with Ian Mabley and Dave Greek in Richmond, VA in 2013. After the addition of a drummer and a few rotations of lineups, they developed into a progressive rock trio, influenced by Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, Yes, and Alice in Chains.
As the remaining original member, Ian Mabley moved to DC in 2014 and continued the project with new members Sumeet Mahal and Jared Coffin. It is with this lineup that they recorded the band's first full-length album, which was later released in 2019. With the current lineup of Chris Sciotto and J.R. Franks, the band made it to the finals for three years in a row for the D.C. area's Wammie Awards.
Whether it's acoustic riffs, dizzying time signatures, or monolithic electric guitar solos, expect the musically unexpected with A Shrewdness of Apes.

Company Calls
Company Calls is a D.C. based band that formed when Nat (Vocalist/Bassist) and Krys (Guitarist) met one fateful night at a show. Since then, they have been creating music that blends several genres but most distinct is their impulse to create poppy punk-loving tunes that blur the line between life’s uncertainties and desire. In 2015, they met Tito Sanchez, who later joined on the drums to complete their eclectic sound.
