Black Owls (Grandville OH) "Describing their sound as “Mott the Hoople meets Guided by Voices,” MPMF mainstays Black Owls formed in 2007 near Columbus, Ohio. Inspired by the classic Rock & Roll of The Rolling Stones, the glammy swagger of David Bowie and the quirky NYC Art Punk of Television, the band has released several albums and featured a rotating lineup that currently includes Cincinnati musicians Brian Kitzmiller, Brandon Losacker and Sammy Wulfeck." - Mike Breen, CityBeat

Ohio Knife (Cincinnati) - "After creating warm, textural Indie Folk for several years in The Chocolate Horse with numerous bandmates, Cincinnati artist/singer/songwriter Jason Snell was ready to strip things down and rock the fuck out, so he formed Ohio Knife. Starting out as a recording trio with drummer Joe Suer and out-of-town keyboardist Andrew Higley, Snell and Suer started played explosive duo shows (including showcases at South by Southwest) before adding musicians, like bassist Scotty Wood. The band is driving and fuzzed out, with Snell sailing his rich vocals and pronounced melodies over the crafty, musical drumming of Suer and the swell of distorted soul." - Mike Breen, CityBeat
