ensibilities with the maximalism and grandiosity of 2000s guitar-lead pop of My Chemical Romance. Utilizing the methods of modern day production to its fullest extent, instruments span the wide range of baroque keys and harpsichords, DJ scratches and blaring trumpets all wrapped up into a guitar-lead package that is equally able to morph into a catchy pop hook or a screeching noise section. Inspired equally from the bedroom acts of DIY emo (your arms are my cocoon, Weatherday) and japanese pop exemplars like Kenshi Yonezu and Shinsei Kamattechan, melody is warped into static and then cut through again with intense vocals that might be a glittering earworm or blood-curdling call to mosh.
There’s only three things that are ever promised when you put on a STOMACH BOOK song, great songwriting, a catchy melody and catharsis at all cost.
STOMACH BOOK (@stomachbook66), who combines lo-fi and punk sensibilities with the maximalism of 2000s guitar-lead pop, will be at Holland Project APRIL 5 😈💟🎶 Tickets on sale Monday @ 12pm at hollandreno.org!

Offering music that is both honest and melodic, with a charismatic stage presence to match, 54 Ultra is carving out a space uniquely his own, defined by a garage pop and soul sound.

In early 2025, Johnny headed to Miami to work with Kali Uchis on her latest album, Sincerely, where he produced the track “All I Can Say.”
In 2024, he shared his debut single, “Where Are You,” which quickly gained traction online, introducing listeners to a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. A year later, he released his debut EP First Works, which Billboard named one of the Best Projects of the Year (So Far). The six-track collection features fan favorites like “Upside Down” and “No Tengo Valor”, and was followed by four sold-out shows in New York and Los Angeles.
Most recently, 54 Ultra shared “I Won’t Go,” a Spanglish synth ballad that further showcases his ability to blend emotional depth with vibrant, genre-blurring soundscapes.
Just a little over a year after releasing his first single, it was announced that 54 Ultra will perform at Coachella 2026. Leading up to the festival, he will be opening for Kali Uchis at her San Jose show, embarking on a nearly sold-out North American tour, and playing his first European headline shows in London, Amsterdam, and Paris, before closing out the year with a performance at Festival Color Caribe in Puerto Rico.
