St. Marlboro is a Chicago rock ‘n’ roll band influenced by twangy classic country, ethereal indie rock, and the grit of Chicago punk. The four-piece band creates a unique urban-gothic sound, reminiscent of early 2000’s folk-rock powerhouses. This backdrop serves as the vehicle for singer-songwriter Kyle Paulin’s straightforward storytelling, complimented by melancholy Americana undertones. They have performed throughout Chicago and the Midwest, supporting acts such as Left Lane Cruiser, Lucky Tubb, The Goddamn Gallows, Railway Gamblers, and J.R.C.G., and have made their presence known in the Chicago club circuit at venues like Schubas, Empty Bottle, Subterranean, and Reggie’s Rock Club. Their live show is a high-energy, yet intimate experience, featuring a spectrum of sounds ranging from delicate to scathing.

Hailing from the rural outskirts of Baltimore, consisting of founder, Dresden Boulden on Guitar and Vocals, Triston Grove on Bass, and Jason Kendall on Drums. Magick Potion is a hard hitting heavy rock trio channeling the raw energy and heavy grooves of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Clearly hooked on the likes of underrated groups such as Blue Cheer, The Amboy Dukes and Budgie, the band crafts a sound that fuse’s heavy rock’s gritty riffs with contrasting moments boarding on psychedelia. With roaring guitars, thunderous drums and hard driving bass lines Magick Potion conjures a vibe that is both nostalgic yet contemporary and original. Their music is a bridge to an era where rock was rebellious, loud and unfiltered, yet they infuse it with a spirit all their own.
