Ep. 9 Seba Molnar



"Music speaks to the soul and brings people together, affecting everyone in their own way. Music is a beacon of hope and peace in this tumultuous world."

Though heavily rooted in jazz, Seba is also involved in funk and reggae bands which enables him to create a wide array of original music that transcends genre. His passion for music also extends to teaching, studio recording, and providing talent for gigs.

Ep. 8 Zilla



Zilla is what you get when five of the most talented and hard working musicians in Boston band together to write original music. After winning Emerson College's Wax On Felt battle of the bands in 2016, Zilla used their support to record their first EP entitled, "DreamState". Zilla is a self proclaimed "psychedelic love train to outer space" which couldn't be any more fitting after hearing each track from the EP. Backed by unrelenting pocket and low end from Josh Strmic on drums and Tyler Last on bass, explosions of powerful vocal harmonies are sang by Meredith Snyder, Sally Stempler, and Adam Eugene Moore. Cascading guitar riffs in the midst of fun, witty lyrics match the band's playful personality. All of this in combination gives birth to the term, "monster-soul", which is Zilla.
