Pocketboy Solid, Long Range Hustle, and I The Mountain @ Junction Underground

Event Details

Event type: Ages 19+

Pocketboy Solid is a Chicago‑based indie supergroup merging the psychedelic folk‑rock sound of Joe Baughman + The Righteous Few with the dreamy math‑pop energy of OK Cool (Bridget Stiebris & Haley Blomquist). Their self‑titled debut album (released June 28, 2024) features lush instrumentation, whimsical lyrical ideas like “Close Encounters of the Richard Kind,” and visuals full of playful absurdity. The project explores new sonic territories, blending strong theatricality, creative video work, and a willingness to let quirky storytelling shape their sonic identity.

Long Range Hustle are a Toronto‑based five‑piece indie rock outfit known for their lush harmonies, driving rhythms, and warm, infectious energy in live shows. Their sound has evolved from folk‑rock roots into an experimental blend of piano‑led hooks, striking drums and bass, lush synth textures, and emotionally turbulent lyrics, as heard on their album I Am Alive, But Only If You Say I Am. The band grew up in small‑town Ontario, honing diverse musical skills from folk, classical, rock and jazz before coming together to perform across Canada and the US, sharing the stage with acts like Arkells, Glorious Sons, and Matt Mays. 

I, the Mountain are a four‑piece indie‑folk band from Kitchener, Ontario, built around the soaring vocal harmonies of Matt Lamers, Matt Rappolt, Allison Dyjach, and Rory McLachlin. Their debut album Little Wild, released early in the COVID‑19 pandemic, explores themes of togetherness, loss, and escape, while singles like “The Boat” and “Coal Mine” gained traction on CBC radio and streaming platforms. Known for energetic live performances, joyous audience connection, and community‑building through music, they’ve shared stages with indie folk and pop acts across Canada's festival scene.
