Exhorder

Formed in 1986, Exhorder’s journey has proven exciting, yet tumultuous. Fraught with euphoric peaks and crippling valleys throughout its existence, the band debuted that summer with the do-it-yourself demo recording, “Get Rude”. Swiftly building a strong local following in the New Orleans punk rock scene, Exhorder entered a legitimate 24 track studio in 1987 and crafted their controversial classic demo, “Slaughter In The Vatican”. However, as fate would have it, the band broke up for the first time in early 1988 due to internal struggles. A reformation ensued later that year, and Exhorder set out once again to pursue its vision.   The band soon signed with Mean Machine Records, but the label dissolved before the band’s debut could be completed. Following a series of lineup shifts, a second full-length entitled “The Law”, and multiple hiatuses, the band finally relaunched itself in 2017.   In the years that followed the relaunch of the band, Exhorder has toured extensively in both the United States and Europe. The reputation the band has carried as a force onstage continues to grow. With a new release in association with Nuclear Blast completed and was released in 2024, Exhorder are plotting another busy year performing worldwide.https://www.exhorder.com/   No/Más – hardcore / crust / grindcore from DC Phantom (Phantom G.D.L) is a young band from Guadalajara, Mexico, that has quickly established itself as one of the most solid and promising acts in Latin American metal.

LETDOWN.

Letdown. is ready to embrace the positive. The Texas-born, Nashville-based alt-rocker, singer, and multi-instrumentalist has tackled a slew of personal demons—many of which turned up on his catharsis-packed debut EP, 2023’s Crying In The Shower—in order to come out on the other side, stronger than ever. The prolific artist’s latest batch of songs, which he is constantly churning out as a therapeutic way to process daily life, are upbeat, hook-packed anthems that invite audiences to shout along in unison. “I think I’m at the end of writing about my problems,” Coddington muses. “I’ve been putting myself through emotional music therapy for three years now, and it’s working. I’m finally looking back and laughing for the first time. I consider it the upswing of the depression. I’m about to enter this whole new phase in my life. Everything feels new again for the first time.” Ever since he first began releasing music in 2020, Letdown. (real name Blake Coddington) has poured his soul into crafting soaring rock anthems that vulnerably chronicle his mental health journey and sonically intersect with punk/emo, electronic, and pop. Posting a series of unguarded videos to TikTok, Letdown. has seen his following grow to more than 675K, nearly 1M monthly listeners on Spotify, and over 100K on Instagram—not even counting the 200M total streams his songs have earned. This growing popularity has led to extensive nationwide and European touring, allowing Letdown. to connect with fans across the globe. “That’s the greatest part of this,” Coddington says of his more buoyant direction. “We’re all dancing around the studio. It’s the most natural writing I’ve ever done…” The song “Hate Myself”—his collaboration with producer Carlo—became his second Top 25 single at Alternative radio, signaling his rising profile and the impact of his emotionally honest songwriting. He continues to unpack tough emotions in tracks like: “Be Ok” (featuring LØLØ) – written near the end of a serious, unhealthy relationship. “Dead Right” – a fun, catchy tune created without overthinking. “Crying In The Shower” – a Top 20 hit detailing heartbreak, fleeting highs, and emotional numbness. “Go To Hell” – a defiant, crowd-moving anthem about the painful complexity of leaving an abusive partner. “Young Broke (2025)” – a self-reflecting song about the reality of his life, and his future If anything unites Letdown.’s debut album, it’s his ability to mix audible joy with emotional darkness, creating cathartic, uplifting music that turns hardship into healing. “The music I’m writing currently has been a lot more fun than it ever has been, and a lot less depressing. This is what’s been handed to me—now I’m gonna have to make something awesome.”

Mike Baggetta & Eli Winter

Each show features solo sets from each artist, with special guests, throughout The South & Midwest this November. Join us for an intimate night of new songs and new sounds. _____   About Mike Baggetta:   “Mike Baggetta is a player of immense subtlety across all dimensions, working with an impressive palette of tones … distilling Robert Fripp’s loopscapes with hints of John Fahey.” -The Wire, UK   “…A terrific player, capable of weirdly elegant fretwork, shivery Tom Verlaine-esque tones, freeform freakouts and crunchy fuzz, shifting from one zone to another with a naturalness and ease.” -Aquarium Drunkard     About Eli Winter:    “Here, the Chicago-based wunderkind—an accomplished writer with storytelling bonafides beyond the guitar—merges the mythos of his native Texas with jazzy, explosive bombast, like a cowboy on DMT.” — Pitchfork   “Eli Winter’s second turn as bandleader unfolds like a sky bleeding exhaust fumes, alternating pedal steel waltzes and jazz-burnt fuzz bombs. The record starts with an ecstatic riff on a Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell tune and doesn’t really let off the gas.” — NPR

Patrick Wolf – Tour of The Beast

Patrick Wolf released his first E.P. at the age of 19, a groundbreaking debut of classical, folk, and electronic music that set the pace for a stellar decade, releasing seven self-produced and solely written albums and performing multiple laps around the globe on tour, amassing an ever-growing and dedicated, spellbound audience. A viola, piano, dulcimer, harp, lyre, and tenor guitar player, Patrick’s decade of critically acclaimed work, touring, joining Patti Smith’s band, collaborations with Florence Welch, Marianne Faithful, Angelo Badalamenti, and rapid, stellar ascent led to a sudden retreat from the industry where a decade of personal trial ended with a renaissance and reconnection with his work and vocation, documented in a feature film biopic documentary slated for release at the end of this year, executive produced by Tilda Swinton. Last year, he released his seventh album “Crying the Neck”, an end-of-summer folkloric odyssey set in the landscape at the end of the East of England where Wolf lives and works. The album’s success brought him back to his North American audiences; for his first tour in over 13 years, he embarked on a ten-week tour driving himself from east to west coast, where he discovered not only his fanbase had been waiting all that time, but a brand new one had grown in his absence in the States. The success of last year’s tour brings Patrick back to North America this year with “The Tour of the Beast”, this time an extensive East to West coast and back again routing with a coinciding 7” single and release campaign, launching two new songs to the States and ringing in the next era of Patrick Wolf. The first, a bombastic harpsichord banger and outsider anthem “The Beast”, partly inspired by conversations had in the meet-and-greets of last year’s tour and a hymn of solace, initially written as a response to Camus’s “The Myth of Sisyphus”, a lyre and vocal lullaby called “The Laughing Dove”.
