Welcome back to the seventh part in our series “BEYOND THE BEAT’S HIDDEN GEMS” where we share all the amazing and emerging artists that we discovered recently. It has been a while since we wrote one of these blogs, so we are excited to share our recent finds over the last two months.
We hope you enjoy these artist recommendations as much as we do.

WOAH is an indie rock band from Charlotte, North Carolina, currently sitting at 37.7K monthly listeners on Spotify. The band is made up of twin brothers Ruben and Michael Gomez, along with their close friends Zac Tice and Jackson Martin.
They made their debut on March 18, 2021 with their debut EP *Better Left Unsaid,* which includes their most popular track “It’s Not a Movie” which garnered over 2.4 million streams since its release.
Their second EP, sitting in an open room, dropped on December 29, 2022. We came across them through “late hour,” a standout track from that project.
Although the band hasn’t released anything since their October 30 single, “In Your Eyes,” we’re hoping they’re cooking up something new behind the scenes.
