The Red Room at Cafe 939 proudly presents Fresh Prospects, a free concert series spotlighting emerging artists. Curated by Berklee students with an ear for talent, this series offers an intimate glimpse into the music scene’s future, featuring local performers making waves and capturing attention.

Sevalynn is an alternative metalcore band known for their raw, emotional sound and distinctive delivery. Fronted by Princess Guinto, the band blends hard-hitting vocals with powerful, dynamic instrumentation that deeply resonates with listeners. Their music pushes boundaries, fusing edge and emotion in a way few can replicate. On stage, Sevalynn’s energy is undeniable. Their immersive performances and genuine connection with audiences set them apart within the genre.

Tripwire, freshly formed and full of promise, hails from Boston, Massachusetts, and channels the spirit of early 2000s post-hardcore with the sleek sensibilities of modern nu-gaze. Their debut self-titled demo EP (2025) showcases impressive refinement and versatility. Tracks like “Cold Cup” feature soaring clean vocals and infectious choruses, while songs such as “LL3000” flex the band’s penchant for downbeat, chugging riffs, and feral, sawtooth screams.
