Right Proper with Tell Me Tell Me and M Jones and the Melee at Up the Creek Records

Right Proper is the Oakland collective setting the new standard for alternative pop-rock. led by the charismatic AK Jameson and her love for 80s and 90s video game soundtracks, Right Proper thrives on pushing boundaries while staying true to their sound. They're not just playing songs; they're creating earworms that echo your best memories.

There’s a big wave coming and it’s getting ready to break. M Jones and the Melee is a rock band based out of Oakland, CA. Fronted by guitarist and songwriter M Jones, their theatrical performing style has been likened to that of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Santa Cruz native M Jones struck out under her own name after bouncing around the bay area music scene for several years, writing songs to come to terms with the grief, anger, and tension of the times. Her songs draw from a number of styles, featuring funky guitar riffs and driving rhythms steeped in roots sensibilities and a healthy dose of psychedelic noise. The Melee formed in August 2019 with the arrival of bass player Justin Vanegas, drummer Jono Costa, and fiddle player Ariel Wang.

Tell Me Tell Me is a dance grunge band from Oakland. Yearning melodies soar over melted guitar riffs and driving, danceable drum beats. The music celebrates loss at points of no return, and Tell Me Tell Me leads the ceremony.
