SSA LIN / Don’t Tell Iris / YourFriendM00n

ssa lin (pronounced like "sullen") is the Providence-based indie folk/pop project by Melissa Chaplin. Lust, debt, romance, self-discovery and existential dread are turned into songs that sound as though they could be written by the millennial love-child of Fiona Apple and Fleetwood Mac. Debut album “baby” coming June 2026. Don’t Tell Iris is a New York/Boston-based conceptual rock band blending alt-rock with baroque-pop elements, including dramatic string arrangements. Led by Olive Martinez and Cody Von Lehmden, the band is building a larger fictional world through their music and a companion novel set in a 1918 asylum. Moon Leone, also known as Yourfriendm00n, is a singer, songwriter, producer, and creative storyteller who blends music, visuals, and fantasy into immersive worlds. Her cinematic sound combines orchestral elements with modern pop and rock, with her upcoming concept album Crescent exploring themes of survival, healing, transformation, and reclaiming power.
