Minneapolis five-piece Porch Light’s debut album is called Hush, a collection of big, unabashed rock tunes, full of riffs that announce themselves and choruses that reach and grab. All of them are songs meant to be played on stage, by five people without bells or whistles. It’s an approach that’s taken them far — the five-piece have reached over a million monthly Spotify listeners and sold-out headline shows across the country before their debut project hit the market.

They are all over this year’s festival circuit playing Summerfest, Yacht Club, Hinterland, Lollapalooza and Shaky Knees. They also are setting out on the road this Fall for the ‘Hush Tour’, spanning across 30+ dates including shows at the Troubadour, Bowery Ballroom and more.

Common People is an alternative rock band comprised of Nicky Winegardner (vocals), Cormac Cadden (drums), Asher Thomson (guitar), and Sam Belzer (guitar). Formed in Los Angeles in 2022, the band quickly began writing and performing local shows together. Initial demos caught the attention of Cage The Elephant co-founder and guitarist Brad Shultz, leading to the band signing with his Parallel Vision label in partnership with Big Loud Rock. In 2025, the quintet released a series of singles and joined Cage The Elephant and The Criticals on their respective tours. Earlier this year, Common People made their festival debut at Innings Festival before supporting Rainbow Kitten Surprise, The Bends, and Congress The Band on their respective Spring tours. This summer, the band will join Young The Giant on the road, as well as deliver exciting festival sets at Bonnaroo’s Outeroo, Minnesota Yacht Club, and Austin City Limits. Common People’s debut EP, Games – produced by Brad Shultz – is out now.
