                                <description><![CDATA[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&#8212;many of which turned up on his catharsis-packed debut EP, 2023&#8217;s Crying In The Shower&#8212;in order to come out on the other side, stronger than ever. The prolific artist&#8217;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. &#8220;I think I'm at the end of writing about my problems,&#8221; Coddington muses. &#8220;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.&#8221; 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&#8212;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. &#8220;That's the greatest part of this,&#8221; Coddington says of his more buoyant direction. &#8220;We're all dancing around the studio. It's the most natural writing I've ever done&#8230;&#8221; The song &#8220;Hate Myself&#8221;&#8212;his collaboration with producer Carlo&#8212;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: &#8220;Be Ok&#8221; (featuring L&#216;L&#216;) &#8211; written near the end of a serious, unhealthy relationship. &#8220;Dead Right&#8221; &#8211; a fun, catchy tune created without overthinking. &#8220;Crying In The Shower&#8221; &#8211; a Top 20 hit detailing heartbreak, fleeting highs, and emotional numbness. &#8220;Go To Hell&#8221; &#8211; a defiant, crowd-moving anthem about the painful complexity of leaving an abusive partner. &#8220;Young Broke (2025)&#8221; &#8211; a self-reflecting song about the reality of his life, and his future If anything unites Letdown.&#8217;s debut album, it&#8217;s his ability to mix audible joy with emotional darkness, creating cathartic, uplifting music that turns hardship into healing. &#8220;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&#8212;now I'm gonna have to make something awesome.&#8221;]]></description>

Join us for an intimate night of new songs and new sounds. _____ &#160; About Mike Baggetta: &#160; &#8220;Mike Baggetta is a player of immense subtlety across all dimensions, working with an impressive palette of tones &#8230; distilling Robert Fripp&#8217;s loopscapes with hints of John Fahey.&#8221; -The Wire, UK &#160; &#8220;...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.&#8221; -Aquarium Drunkard &#160; &#160; About Eli Winter:&#160; &#160; &#8220;Here, the Chicago-based wunderkind&#8212;an accomplished writer with storytelling bonafides beyond the guitar&#8212;merges the mythos of his native Texas with jazzy, explosive bombast, like a cowboy on DMT.&#8221; &#8212; Pitchfork &#160; "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." &#8212; NPR]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[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.&#160;A viola, piano, dulcimer, harp, lyre, and tenor guitar player, Patrick&#8217;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 &#8220;Crying the Neck&#8221;, 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&#8217;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 &#8220;The Tour of the Beast&#8221;, this time an extensive East to West coast and back again routing with a coinciding 7&#8221; 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 &#8220;The Beast&#8221;, partly inspired by conversations had in the meet-and-greets of last year&#8217;s tour and a hymn of solace, initially written as a response to Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus&#8221;, a lyre and vocal lullaby called &#8220;The Laughing Dove&#8221;.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Psycroptic -&#160;When the history of technical metal is viewed in years to come, the books will come to show that PSYCROPTIC are responsible for a hefty slice of the genre. The band blasted into the deepest underground in the late 90s, then proceeded to drag the metal scene closer to what they do by sheer attrition. Their music guides you through the densest of riff jungles before bursting into the clear with powerfully rhythmic grooves and blasts, anchored by the profoundly talented Haley brothers.Tasmania couldn&#8217;t contain them and as it turned out, neither could Australia. Their first overseas tour was Europe in 2004.&#160;It also introduced them to touring the US with their first happening in 2010. This pushed their lust for the road to new levels, smashing audiences and stupefying musicians around the planet. They&#8217;re unique among death metal bands in that it&#8217;s almost pointless to try and list the festivals and countries they&#8217;ve visited, let alone the bands they&#8217;ve played with.And there is no slowing down. As of late 2024, PSYCROPTIC are recording a new album and are booked in for a massive US tour in January 2025 with NILE and SIX FEET UNDER. PSYCROPTIC are no longer the local Australian band made good: they are a global powerhouse with a footprint the size of the world, nothing left to prove, and an endless commitment to finding ways to rock you as hard as technically possible.https://psycroptic.bandcamp.com/musicInferi -&#160;Inferi is an American melodic death metal band forged from the bowels of Nashville, Tennessee.

                                <description><![CDATA[Formed in late 2015, mr.phylzzz (pronounced mr. flyzzz) has spent the last decade mutating, evolving, and cementing their reputation as one of the most blistering, uncompromising forces in modern noise rock. What began as a raw, multi-instrumental project has sharpened into a lean, mean, two-piece wall of sound consisting of Clinton Jacob (guitar/vocals) and Danny Sein (drums). Now anchored in the gritty musical landscape of Chicago, the duo crafts a chaotic, high-velocity sonic assault that balances punishing, heavy riffs with an undeniable knack for twisted, melodic hooks. The band&#8217;s rapid, jagged trajectory quickly caught the ear of Tom Hazelmyer, founder of the legendary underground imprint Amphetamine Reptile Records (AmRep). A badge of honor for any band pushing the boundaries of aggressive music, mr.phylzzz made their label debut on the prestigious Dope Guns &#8217;N Fucking in the Streets Vol. 14 compilation. They followed that up with their first proper full-length album, Penitent Curtis, in 2019&#8212;a record that laid the groundwork for their signature blend of cranked amps, driving percussion, and volatile vocal delivery. When the pandemic brought the world to a standstill, the project underwent a metamorphosis. Operating in isolation, Jacob continued to write at a feverish pace. As restrictions lifted, a relocation to Chicago sparked a powerful new chemistry with the addition of drummer Danny Sein. The resulting synergy produced 2022's Cancel Culture Club, a critically acclaimed record that showcased a tighter, more furious version of the band. The album drew well-deserved attention from noise rock royalty, featuring guest appearances from the Melvins' King Buzzo and Kevin Rutmanis. Refusing to let off the gas, mr.phylzzz returned to the studio to track their next chapter, 2023's Fat Chance. Captured in a rapid-fire, four-day session at Chicago&#8217;s iconic Electrical Audio, the album perfectly bottles the raw, frantic energy of their live performances. The songs are dense, blown-out, and hyper-focused, earning praise across the underground for keeping the historic flame of midwestern noise rock burning bright. While their records are masterclasses in controlled chaos, the stage is where mr.phylzzz truly becomes a monster. Renowned for their furious, tight, and unpredictable live sets, the band spent a grueling autumn tearing across North America as the main opening act for the monumental Melvins and Boris "Twins of Evil" tour. Playing to packed rooms and massive crowds night after night, the duo proved that two people can create an atmosphere just as heavy, loud, and mesmerizing as a five-piece band. Today, mr.phylzzz remains a relentless touring machine and a staple of the underground circuit, constantly writing, traveling, and pushing their gear to the absolute limit. They are modern torchbearers of heavy music&#8212;chaotic, cathartic, and entirely on their own terms.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Improvement Movement, the social betterment campaign/prog-rock quartet/non-denominational&#160;cult from Atlanta, GA, have made a new record just for you and your modern day malaise. It&#8217;s&#160;called Your Perfect Real Life, because, well, there&#8217;s a lot going right these days, right? Arriving&#160;August 21, 2026 via ATO Records, Your Perfect Real Life is prismatic, angular, jumpy, and&#160;eccentric. It&#8217;s sure to inundate your ears, corporeal form, and spiritual body with equal parts&#160;unadulterated bliss and realist catharsis, or, in other words, as much good as you can&#160;reasonably feel these days. &#160; Set in a world of chaos where the news seems to be perpetually recounting stories of planes&#160;falling out of the sky, urban wildfires, the uncanny nature of a southern snowfall, and schlepping&#160;ads that feel plucked from a sci-fi movie, Your Perfect Real Life makes an earnest case for&#160;embracing life&#8217;s relentless unpredictability. Animated by the band&#8217;s baroque take on the angular&#160;harmonies of grunge, the record&#8217;s eleven tracks sprawl and simmer, enlivened by the&#160;Improvement Movement&#8217;s novel employment of dynamics, sticky melodies, four-part harmony,&#160;and a treasure trove of experimental instruments. If you&#8217;ve ever found yourself enraptured by the lush harmonies of Fleet Foxes, the theatrics of early Genesis tracks, or the candid intimacy&#160;of Art Garfunkel, Improvement Movement may be for you. &#160; Improvement Movement is a democracy, and so they say, &#8220;things move slow.&#8221; That may be true&#160;for the internal machinations of the band, but their output has been quite regular. Each member&#160;of the band, who have largely been eschewing definition, are songwriters and instrumentalists&#160;who have spent the better part of a decade in the fertile DIY scene in Atlanta, GA. In that time&#160;they&#8217;ve been swirling, relatively undisrupted, in their own primordial ooze and rubbing elbows&#160;with folks from the no wave, punk, improv, and free jazz scenes. &#8220;Atlanta is about as DIY as it&#160;gets,&#8221; they say. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got some of the most killing musicians in the world all spread out on&#160;these kinds of islands of urbanization. There&#8217;s always something new.&#8221; &#160; That said, the band hasn&#8217;t been in Atlanta much lately; they were on the road relentlessly over&#160;the last two years, supporting Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Iron &#38; Wine, Houndmouth, and&#160;Khurangbin. When it came to making a new record, the slog of touring had to be reckoned with.&#160;&#8220;It was a gauntlet, trying to live day by day. There was no room for anything with too much&#160;premeditation.&#8221; &#160; &#8220;We all have a disposition where we&#8217;d like to be positive,&#8221; they say, noting how their 2024&#160;sophomore pursuit Slump focused in on the minutiae of personal friendships, relationships, and the noble pursuit of right relation. Your Perfect Real Life takes a wider view, reflecting on timely&#160;yet universal themes of mundanity, futility, fear, and acceptance. The band took a uniquely&#160;holistic approach to composing its songs, describing how they sought to write from their&#160;instruments in a way that could reflect the synergy they found playing live night after night.&#160; &#160; The collective effervescence of sharing and making art in community is one of the most&#160;life-affirming experiences we have. It makes sense that a band set on bridging our brutal&#160;realities and the catharsis of art-making is so plugged into that source. With Improvement&#160;Movement in our ears, we may as well keep pushing that rock up the hill, singing in unison.&#160;Don&#8217;t delay, join today!]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Hot Freaks formed in Minneapolis in the early 2010s, releasing their self-titled debut LP in 2013&#8212;a collection of bright, danceable indie-pop tracks with a glossy disco sheen and disarmingly vulnerable lyrics. Blending the emotional openness of of Montreal and Voxtrot with flashes of MGMT&#8217;s playful charisma, the record captured the band&#8217;s tight-knit chemistry and earned them a loyal following in the Minneapolis scene. Though they rarely toured beyond the Midwest, the group&#8212;made up of longtime friends whose relationships stretched back over a decade&#8212;became a beloved local staple before amicably disbanding in 2015 as members moved on to new chapters.&#160; Years later, the internet gave Hot Freaks a second life. During the pandemic, their 2013 single &#8220;PUPPY PRINCESS&#8221; unexpectedly went viral on TikTok, introducing the band&#8217;s heartfelt, humor-tinged indie pop to a new global audience. What began as nostalgia among friends quickly turned into a full reunion as fans discovered the band&#8217;s earnest songwriting and infectious energy. Now reconnecting with listeners around the world, Hot Freaks are stepping back onto the stage with renewed momentum&#8212;releasing rare material, debuting new visuals, and turning a handful of hometown reunion shows into the start of a much bigger return.&#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Formed in 2019 by vocalist Jackson Davenport, VOID is a haunted, technically sharp thrash/heavy metal force rising out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Blending razor-edged aggression with an eerie atmosphere, VOID stands at the crossroads of classic thrash intensity and dark, theatrical heavy metal. The band made its first major statement with their debut album Horrors of Reality in early 2023. The record introduced VOID&#8217;s uncompromising sound&#8212;fast, intricate riffing, commanding vocals, and a sinister edge&#8212;and was followed by a relentless stretch of touring that hardened the band on the road and built a growing underground following. That momentum led to VOID racking their first record deal, and the band then focused their efforts on crafting their most ambitious work to date: Forbidden Morals, a full-length concept album centered on a lost traveler&#8217;s descent into the castle of Vlad the Impaler. Dark, cinematic, and technically ferocious, the album marked a turning point for the band&#8212;putting VOID firmly on the map and opening the door to larger tours and wider recognition. Following the release of Forbidden Morals, VOID signed with Metal Blade Records to further carve their path in stone as one of the most compelling new voices in modern traditional metal.https://voidthrash.bandcamp.com/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.

Weaving Shadows, a story by W.H Holmes written in 1923 is one of the first American ghost stories filled with themes of pain, loss, anxiety, and failure.

                                <description><![CDATA[&#8220;This whole album is almost like my fight against loneliness,&#8221; says Nicole Atkins of her latest release, Drama.&#160; &#8220;A lot of the songs came out of the fact that my husband and I basically have a long distance relationship. We're both on the road. He's a tour manager. I'm an artist. We can be apart for months at a time.&#8221; Those feelings of isolation and separation, complicated by sleep problems and some career uncertainty, left Atkins feeling overwhelmed at times. &#8220;I had to write myself through a lot.&#8221; As the material started to take shape, she felt like she was &#8220;building a life raft,&#8221; and not only for herself.&#160; &#8220;With everything going on in the world, it's easy to forget that we're all the same,&#8221; she says. &#8220;We're being disconnected and pulled apart. We're longing for connection. That's what I want to write and sing about, and hopefully by doing that, make people feel a little less lonely.&#8221; The life rafts on Drama are sturdy, with smart design and a buoyancy that's a tonic for our times. The Spectorized girl group rush of &#8220;Trippin' On Teardrops,&#8221; the pulsing Memphis soul-styled &#8220;For No One,&#8221; the James Bond-meets-Stevie Nicks noir of &#8220;Danny,&#8221; and the ABBA-worthy, anthemic &#8220;Singing In The Mirror.&#8221; As always when dissecting Atkins' neo-classic sound, it's fun to play with mash-up descriptions &#8211; even she offers her own colorful takes - &#8220;What if Brian Eno, Scott Walker and Lee Hazlewood were all partying?&#8221; and &#8220;It's like a Broadway show playing on a dive bar stage." Her journey began in Neptune City, New Jersey, where she developed her taste and sensibility early. &#8220;There's a poetic isolation at the Jersey shore,&#8221; she says. &#8220;All the tourists leave, and you're stuck with this really gloomy, but beautiful place, and nothing to do. Also, there were all these summertime musicians who'd play every night on the beach. I grew up thinking that was a normal job.&#8221; Raiding the record collections of her parents and grandparents drew her to dramatic singers from Candi Staton to Roy Orbison. When she found an old acoustic guitar in the attic of her uncle's house, her course was set. &#8220;Actually, I either wanted to be a rock star or a professional wrestler,&#8221; Atkins says, with a laugh.&#160; It had been six years since her last, Italian Ice, and Atkins admits she had some self-doubt. Enter another Nashville pal, Patrick Sansone. The producer and Wilco multi-instrumentalist proved to be the perfect foil for Drama. &#8220;Pat knows so much about that chamber pop style of music, and that's my North Star and home base,&#8221; Atkins says. &#8220;I write like I write - sometimes it sounds '80s, sometimes it sounds '60s, sometimes it sounds '50s. And Pat always gets it. He was able to help me sprinkle that baroque sound throughout the whole record, so it all made sense together.&#8221; And as on previous albums, she ups the ante by aiming to &#8220;write modern songs that could be part of the Great American Songbook.&#8221; But in her own way.&#160; &#8220;I'm not trying to rehash or celebrate some bygone era,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I'm just taking what I like melodically from the past, and channeling it into my songs. I like to make them deeply personal. The question I come back to is - how do I make this sound exactly like me?&#8221; Drama&#160;sounds exactly like Nicole Atkins.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[The Obsessed is a rock band. A FU*KING HARD rock band. Since their formation in 1978, they became known around the world for their influential contribution to the origins and continued legacy of the doom metal and underground hard rock genres. The distinctive vocals and guitar wizardry of founder and driving force Scott &#8220;Wino&#8221; Weinrich has left a mark on the world of heavy music that continues to inspire. The Obsessed gained momentum in the Baltimore/DC area of the USA in the early to mid 1980&#8217;s during the height of the hardcore punk movement. Often cited as the band that bridged heavy metal and punk together, the band gained the respect of punk heavy weight contemporaries Black Flag, The Bad Brains, and Minor Threat, to name a few. The attitude and spirit of The Obsessed has led many to regard them as &#8220;America&#8217;s Motorhead&#8221;. Wino went on to join the doom metal giants Saint Vitus as lead singer on seminal albums including 1986&#8217;s &#8216;Born Too Late'&#8216;. In 1990, The Obsessed came back with their eponymous debut album, &#8220;The Obsessed&#8221;. This album was quickly followed by 1991&#8217;s &#8220;Lunar Womb&#8221; and 1994&#8217;s "The Church within. The band then signed with Relapse Records and recorded 2017&#8217;s &#8220;Sacred&#8221;, an album showing The Obsessed were back with pure vengeance. Sacred brought the band to venues and festival stages around the world. In 2022 the band became a four piece with the addition of Chris Angleberger on bass and Jason Taylor on guitar. The band has been touring heavily since and have been seen on USA and European festival stages such as HellFest, Freak Valley Festival, Snowblind Festival and multiple DesertFests.The band&#8217;s 2024 album, Gilded Sorrow, on Ripple Music, marked a new chapter in their legacy. The album captures the essence of the band&#8217;s classic sound while adding a fresh new atmosphere with a dual guitar attack. In 2025, Bob Pantella (The Atomic Bitchwax, Monster Magnet, Raging Slab) joined The Obsessed on drums. To quote Wino, "This is the strongest The Obsessed has ever been. We are geared up and ready to play. We will be hitting your city soon!"https://www.instagram.com/theobsessedofficial/Hippie Death Cult - Hippie Death Cult's journey through shameless and triumphant artistic expression has led them to become a vibrant force within the realms of psychedelia and riff-heavy rock n' roll. With their unwavering dedication to their craft and their ability to push boundaries, they are poised to leave an indelible mark on the heavy music scene for years to come. https://www.hippiedeathcultband.com/]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[The Velveteers bring a visceral energy to their explosive sophomore album, A Million Knives, loaded with blistering rock anthems infused with melodic indie songwriting. With GRAMMY&#174; Award-winning producer Dan Auerbach at the helm, the Boulder, CO trio encapsulates the raw, forceful, and profoundly heavy power of their live performances and laser-focuses a spotlight on tightly crafted songs as they carve out their own distinctive niche. Driving The Velveteers is the commanding presence of frontwoman Demi Demitro, a no-bullshit, five-foot-something spitfire with thunderous guitar riffs and soaring vocals, backed by her incendiary double drum duo. The band's signature dual drum setup creates a thunderous foundation that propels their gritty, dynamic garage rock sound. On A Million Knives, this setup melds seamlessly with a more modern indie rock influence&#8211;the attitude of Wolf Alice, the colossal sound of Queens of the Stone Age, and the singular lyrical voice of Hole. The Velveteers have built a dedicated following through relentless touring and electrifying performances, sharing stages with renowned acts such as Smashing Pumpkins, The Black Keys, Greta Van Fleet, Guns N' Roses, and Des Rocs. With A Million Knives, The Velveteers offer a compelling testament to their rising stardom, a rock 'n' roll album as beautiful as it is electrifying.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[For nearly two decades, Fruition have built their genre-bending version of American roots music around harmony &#8212; not just the vocal interplay of the band&#8217;s three songwriters, but the deeper harmony created between five friends who&#8217;ve spent years on the road together. On their eighth album, Something More, those bonds grow into something more collaborative than ever before. Produced by Grammy winner Tucker Martine, Something More finds Fruition stepping into an era defined as much by exploration as craft. Fueled by melody-driven songwriting, analog tones, and atmospheric textures, the album expands the band&#8217;s melting pot of rock, folk, pop, soul, and Americana into something more expansive and fully realized. Much of the songwriting emerged from collaborative sessions between Jay Cobb Anderson, Kellen Asebroek, and Mimi Naja, adding a shared perspective to songs rooted in reflection, uncertainty, acceptance, and growth. &#8220;This record is us trusting each other more than we ever have &#8212; as humans and as musicians,&#8221; says Anderson. &#8220;It&#8217;s the sound of us leaning into each other.&#8221; From the street corners of the Pacific Northwest to stages like Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Great American Music Hall, Fruition have grown their career night by night and song by song. Something More feels like the next chapter: a collection of lessons absorbed, trust deepened, and a band fully embracing what they&#8217;ve become.]]></description>

A whirlwind of dexterous limbs and digits, this super star sonic showman has to be seen to be believed. Clad in his cannonball man, extra tight jumpsuit and signature motorcycle helmet with telephone/microphone attached, Bob Log III unfailingly sweats up a river while kicking on a kick drum, stomping his homemade foot cymbal and playing slide on an old archtop guitar. His endless pursuit for musical mayhem and a downright party has seen his unique talents utilized for children&#8217;s birthday parties, obscure beer barns, mammoth music festivals and everything in between. Yet, beyond these mesmerizing visuals, lies the true reason for Bob Log&#8217;s international cult status and superhero adoration. It is quite simply the guitar playing - finger picked lightning, sliding up and down, stopping when it wants to, then starting again when it feels like it, all in a way that makes people move uncontrollably, smile and reel. &#160; Excerpts from an unpublished journal &#8211; The Adventures of Bob Log III and His Faithful Guitar, by The Guitar: Chapter 39 HELP! 162 shows this year! 30 Countries! My strings hurt! My nut aches! My volume knob was broken by a Swedish girl&#8217;s butt! I don&#8217;t even know where we are right now. We have been doing this for 12 years!

It&#8217;s just the loudest strangest stuff you&#8217;ve ever heard. You don&#8217;t understand one word he&#8217;s saying.

Still angry, still driven, and still screaming &#8211; this is a band that will never give up the fight.It takes serious talent to write and sing songs that sound angry while the music lifts your spirits. So much of political punk is abrasive and unpleasant. No hooks. No melodies. But other times the words sound incongruent with emotionless and insipid music. The Iron Roses manage something rare and commanding with music that lifts the heart coupled powerfully with lyrics that express fury and resentment of the current world. Punk as a genre has been so commodified and diluted over the last decades that it seems to be ever increasingly hard to find bands that resonate this way.&#160;Yes, we can discuss their pedigree, most notably their frontperson Nathan Gray (of Boysetsfire), and their relentless touring and political activism. But none of those things matter if the songs don&#8217;t connect with the listener. And this collection of songs are going to do just that. From the opening notes of the first song the cards are on the table. The objective is clear &#8211; The Iron Roses are putting to words and music all the thoughts you&#8217;ve had these last few dark years. With the worldwide political climate leaning further and further from the left. With rights for many being limited and destroyed. With no end in sight. We need bands like The Iron Roses giving us a soundtrack to fight. Songs to pour our anger and frustration into when we sing along - just as they did when they wrote and recorded them.https://www.instagram.com/theironroses/Rodeo Boys - punk / garage / grunge from Lansing, MIhttps://www.rodeoboysofficial.com/]]></description>

Slamming down dolphin corpses at breakneck speeds, the duo, which is comprised of Tommy Meehan on guitar (Deaf Club, Cancer Christ, Sweatband Records, Cartoon Network) and Seth Carolina (Starcrawler), have constructed a fresh and mucousy new alien craft powered by tightly controlled noise-guitar, savage primal drum work, and gooped up vocal deliveries that might sound like a gaggle of frogs thrown into a garbage disposal (although the Squid boys wouldn&#8217;t recommend doing this). Conceptualized and formed in 2022, the band decided to fully utilize planet Earth&#8217;s viral slumber in order to gestate, write, and record 2 full length albums worth of material. Throughout the year, SQUID PISSER played a handful of shows in California and Nevada as a 2 piece as they continued the quest for further personnel and collaborators. Tommy Meehan&#8217;s tightly controlled noise-onslaught of rainbow vomit (spat out of a guitar amp via manic pedalboard wizardry and sophisticated finger work) paired with the utterly brutal and savage drumming of Seth Carolina, merge to create a collection of tracks that have been forged in a totally fucked and sonically chaotic storm of pus and goo.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[We like to believe our lives can be shaped into stories&#8212;clean arcs, legible meaning&#8212;but life refuses the outline. Instead, it moves bluntly and without apology, indifferent to our sense of order. Events pile up without resolution, momentum divorced from direction, motion confused for progress. Sometimes the only refuge left is the nowhere of our own minds. El Ten Eleven&#8217;s Nowhere Faster, the duo&#8217;s 16th release, was forged within that unease. Across eight tracks, it considers not just nothingness but velocity&#8212;the strange urgency that propels us forward even when the destination remains unclear. We are committed to acceleration, convinced speed itself might save us. The 33-minute album slows just long enough to pose the harder questions: what are we running from, and what do we think we can outrun? That tension appears even in the album&#8217;s artwork, once again created with longtime collaborator Rob Fleming. It depicts a classic liminal space: familiar, anonymous, quietly unsettling. A stained glass-colored building and a streetlamp blur at the edges, suggesting motion that feels less like escape than enclosure&#8212;the kind that traps rather than transports. Nowhere Faster emerged from Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty&#8217;s longest break from touring and recording in their 23 years together, though &#8220;break&#8221; is something of a misnomer. Dunn&#8217;s famously restless creative pace never slowed. Instead, he began writing for not one but two drummers, handing Fogarty one of the most demanding challenges of his career. The record also marks a first for the band, weaving real strings and piano throughout, deepening the palette of what is already one of their most layered works. The album&#8217;s titles and sounds draw from moments scattered across the band&#8217;s 23-year history. Opener &#8220;Uncanny Valley Girl&#8221; marks the return of long-retired effects like the delay pedal, stacking basslines into a dense, enveloping wall. It&#8217;s a clear-eyed take on AI-era paranoia, anchored by Fogarty&#8217;s steady rhythm&#8212;snare taut, cymbals gently alive&#8212;giving the sci-fi unease something solid to lean on. &#8220;Bjork&#8217;s Alarm Clock,&#8221; meanwhile, takes its title from an insult hurled at the band by a guitarist of a punk band on their first tour; you can almost hear Dunn and Fogarty&#8217;s quiet laughter beneath the buoyant bass and bow-scratched strings. Still, Nowhere Faster is not a retreat into nostalgia. El Ten Eleven remains invested in risk and reinvention. The record continues to center Fogarty&#8217;s propulsive drumming and Dunn&#8217;s bass-driven experimentation: the first four tracks (&#8220;side A&#8221;) feature electric bass, while the latter half (&#8220;side B&#8221;) shifts to acoustic bass processed through pedals, subtly altering the album&#8217;s emotional weight. &#8220;Last Night In The Kitchen&#8221; reaches for the slick, sleazy bombast of classic Bond themes, opening new corridors for Dunn&#8217;s ever-expanding musical ambitions. Ultimately, Nowhere Faster is an album about reckoning&#8212;about time, endurance, and the uncertainty of how long a band, or a life, can last. We are all fumbling toward finitude. The question is not whether we&#8217;ll arrive, but what we want to hear on the way there. What will we dance to as the ground begins to shift beneath us? If nothing else, it may sound something like Nowhere Faster.]]></description>

With 8-foot-tall pig suits, t-shirt tosses, AirDropping unreleased demos from the stage, constant instrument swapping, and free coffee, The Toxhards have built a rapidly growing and devoted fanbase - many of whom attend shows cosplaying as characters from the band&#8217;s eclectic catalog such as &#8220;&#198;ngus, The Prize-Winning Hog,&#8221; &#8220;Satan&#8217;s Little Hell Song,&#8221; &#8220;Beatrice,&#8221; &#8220;Doombop!&#8221; and &#8220;Get Creative!

The Get Destructive Tour promises to be the band&#8217;s most ambitious and interactive run yet, featuring a completely different setlist every night, brand-new visuals, and new songs the audience will vote on during the show (the band needs that sweet, sweet market research!) plus all the Toxhard classics fans love to experience live. The Toxhards&#8217; music has racked up tens of millions of streams and views online, with millions more for their comedic bits and skits. Their debut LP Your Neighborhood was released in spring 2025 via Hopeless Records to critical acclaim, and was followed by extensive touring across North America. The Get Destructive Tour marks a new era for The Toxhards, and promises to outdo everything before it.]]></description>

Having evolved from their understated slowcore beginnings in Austin, Texas, they&#8217;re now seasoned veterans of the scene. Across their first five studio albums, the duo established their trademark sound of twangy indie rock, 2000s-inspired pop-country, and emotional acoustic ballads with strong pop sensibilities. Their last two records saw them processing life&#8217;s most intense emotions more openly than ever before, from declarations of love in its many forms on 2021&#8217;s True Love, to grappling with loss and personal change on their latest self-titled album, Hovvdy. But the songs of Big World have them trading in overt emotional directness for subject matter that leans enigmatic, contemplating their place in the world through a mosaic of songs that sees the band at their most secure and self-aware.]]></description>

A noise that gets louder everyday, and is never quite the same with each iteration.&#160; Amassing over 400,000 listeners over the last decade, collaborating with Adrian Young and Todd Foreman of No Doubt and Sublime respectively,&#160; performing alongside the Dresden Dolls, and independently assembling a 48 show, six week tour of house shows for over 3000 ravenous attendees (hosted by equally ravenous fans themselves), Johnny Manchild has broken down every conventional method in this pursuit of creating and exposing his music.&#160; With five albums under his belt, and his new self-produced album, &#8220;Side Effects&#8221; slated for 2026, Johnny Manchild has shown no sides of resting until the noise subsides; though the odds of that happening anytime soon are growing smaller everyday. &#160; FRIEND OF A FRIEND &#160; Friend of a Friend formed in the summer of 2020 after a lifetime just missing each other. Since their 2022 debut release, they&#8217;ve toured relentlessly throughout Europe and North America.

Loud key-smashing chords dueling with gritty electric guitar, powerful, raw female voices and a thick chorus of harmonies is the strange and compelling concoction the band calls piano-rock. Ever pushing the bounds of what that means, Karma and the Killjoys expand their musicality with every song, both embracing and defying the genre&#8211;and therefore defining it.&#160; Karma and the Killjoys is Rain Scott-Catoire (piano, vocals, songwriting), Sydni Myers (vocals, songwriting), Thomas Vercher (drums), and Tim Marchand (guitar).]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Hailing from the quaint town of Rigby, Idaho, Anyone Awake is an Alternative Indie band that&#8217;s breaking through geographic boundaries and turning heads wherever they play. Formed in late 2022 by high school sophomores and lifelong friends Cassius Coleman and Sam Butterfield, this group of young musicians has already begun to make waves with their electrifying performances and raw, emotive sound. Their debut release, Point It Out, recorded live at Make It Now! Productions, showcased their unpolished, heartfelt approach to music. The band quickly expanded, with the addition of Rylan Sager on lead guitar and Seth Chamberlain on drums, amplifying their energy and creating a dynamic soundscape that audiences can&#8217;t help but connect with. While their hometown may be small, Anyone Awake&#8217;s ambition is anything but. In just a short time, they&#8217;ve moved from local gigs to stages in Los Angeles, all while building a dedicated fanbase with their captivating live shows. Every performance is fueled by their passion for connecting with audiences through music that blends heartfelt lyrics and unforgettable hooks. At just thirteen, Cassius began writing the band&#8217;s debut LP, Bushel and a Peck, released October 25th, 2024. The album is deeply personal, inspired by the love story of Cassius&#8217; grandparents, weaving their journey into a touching, melodic narrative. Even more impressive, he recorded this album at just 16 years old, demonstrating a musical depth and maturity that far exceeds his years. The album represents a leap forward for the band, with professional production that enhances every element of their already distinctive sound. Their first single, &#8220;Pluto/Charon,&#8221; is already streaming on all major platforms, with their second single, &#8220;I Think So,&#8221; gaining more than 25,000 streams within 3 weeks of its release. In a matter of days, Anyone Awake has seen their social media following skyrocket by over 30,000 followers, driven by their quirky and authentic online presence &#8211; including the viral success of lead guitarist Rylan Sager&#8217;s extra toe, lovingly dubbed &#8216;Toeby,&#8217; which has even inspired a line of merch. With Bushel and a Peck on the charts and a rapidly growing fanbase, Anyone Awake is primed to make their mark on the indie music scene. Their blend of youthful energy, undeniable talent, and a sound that transcends their small-town origins makes them a band on the rise. Driven by the belief that even when you&#8217;re awake, you should never stop dreaming, they continue to transform ambition into action, proving that big dreams aren&#8217;t just meant to be chased&#8212;they&#8217;re meant to be lived, one performance at a time.]]></description>

On records like 'Cold World' and 'What's Left Now?' they sharpen their sound into tightly wound, hook-filled anthems, while tracks like "Monolith" and "Drown" showcase a band unafraid to be both vulnerable and volatile.

                                <description><![CDATA[PROFANATICA are at the vanguard of the ﬁrst wave of American black metal. Founded and led by infamous master of black perversion Paul Ledney (drums/vocals), they have purveyed primeval blasphemy for nigh on thirty-three years. Ledney formed the band from the ashes of the ﬁrst INCANTATION lineup when he split and took with him all of the members sans John McEntee. That early trio of ex-INCANTATION members reeled oﬀ three ground-breaking demos of some of the most extreme and blasphemic metal of its time in rapid succession. The band ﬂyers that permeated the tape-trading circuit were no less shocking and featured the trio bloody and naked and in the throes of what was most certainly a primeval summoning of some kind. In short order, they had inked a deal with the ﬂedgling Osmose Productions for what became one of that labels ﬁrst releases (Osmose release #5); a legendary split with Colombia's MASACRE. Something so volatile could only last brieﬂy, and after another brief recording session the band collapsed under the weight of its own extremity. but the recordings made in this two year window went on to see dozens of reissues in the coming decades, in a testament to how formidable and formative they are to the black metal scene worldwide. After almost ﬁfteen years spent with his equally polarizing solo project HAVOHEJ, Ledney reignited the ﬂames of PROFANATICA in 2006. Reemerging with a new deal from Hells Headbangers, Ledney and his new band released 'The Enemy of Virtue', a collection of that vaunted early material, and a new full-length, 'Profanatitas de Domonatia'. A triumphant return, 'Profanatitas de Domonatia' picked up right where these Kings of US Black Metal left oﬀ, delivering a savage stream of chainsaw guitars and relentless battery upon which they desecrated everything sacred. This set-in motion another frenetic burst of work for PROFANATICA. The next decade saw them unleash four new full-length albums of blasphemous perversions, sacrilegious incantations, and furious black metal. In addition, the band issued six mini-albums and EP's, a full DVD of early footage, and began touring internationally in Europe and in Central and South America. For the ﬁrst time PROFANATICA were appearing near or at the top of the bill at festivals like MDF, Messe Des Mortes, Hells Headbash, Prague Death Mass (Czech Republic), Chaos Descends (Germany), Black Sun (Spain), Tyrant Fest (France), SWR Fest (Portugal) and many more. In fall 2018, PROFANATICA joined forces with Season of Mist and undertook their biggest tour to date supporting WATAIN and ROTTING CHRIST across Europe. And a year later, the trio vomited forth a most vulgar strain of black metal ejaculate with their SoM debut album 'Rotting Incarnation of God'. The band embarked on an extensive twelve-country European headline tour in the album's wake. Shortly after returning home that winter, the world ground to a halt in 2020. Save a live-streaming concert production for the legendary Rock al Parque in conjunction with BATUSHKA, little was heard from PROFANATICA. That is until spring 2023, when PROFANATICA emerged from their den of iniquity on a European headline tour to promote a new album. 'Crux Simplex' is a ten-track oﬀensive of sin and sacrilege, a nasty aﬀront that bastardizes the ﬁrst 10 stations of the cross. As per their legacy, PROFANATICA deals in bestial, ﬁrst-wave black metal barbarity, and their eighth album unveils ungodly levels of bile and blasphemy.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Occupational Hazard by Unsane returns in a newly remastered edition reviving a pivotal moment in the band&#8217;s history where abrasive, heavy sound collided with elements of punk, metal, and industrial music.&#160;Originally released in January 1998&#160;through Relapse Records, the album&#8217;s reissue arrives on Friday, February 4, 2026 viathe band&#8217;s own imprint label Lamb Unlimited, revisiting a defining chapter in the group&#8217;s&#160;evolution. Sonically, the record is noted for its aggressively distorted guitars, driving basslines, andpounding drums &#8211; hallmarks of the band&#8217;s uncompromising noise rock style.&#160;In preparation for the album, the band first recorded a six-song demo session at AmRep&#160;Studios in Minneapolis, MN. Shortly after, Unsane relocated to Excello Studios in&#160;Brooklyn, NY, where they tracked the album with engineer Billy Anderson. Frontman Chris Spencer (guitar, vocals) recalls the period: &#8220;The writing process for Occupational Hazard was great. I think the one real defining factor to this very creatively rewarding period of time in our career was that we knew what we were doing in terms of songwriting, and we were able to take our time while constantly playing.&#8221; Following the recording sessions, Occupational Hazard was mixed by legendary&#160;producer and Barkmarket guitarist David Sardy. Reflecting on the collaboration, Spencer adds: &#8220;I&#8217;ve always liked what he did with his own band and in the studio, and I thought that it would work well for what we were doing. Dave also had access to a really good studio in Midtown Manhattan, so we decided to take advantage of his great production work and that space. We had been offered a three-record deal with Relapse Records and figured that would be the best thing to do, considering we wanted to tour constantly.&#8221; Shortly before the album&#8217;s original release, during a European press tour, Spencer was&#160;brutally attacked by street thugs in Vienna, Austria, and left for dead. He returned to&#160;touring after emergency surgery, though the incident significantly disrupted the album&#8217;s&#160;original touring cycle. Now, more than two decades later, the entire album has been newly remastered by&#160;longtime Unsane collaborator and engineer Andrew Schneider. All formats will include&#160;an extra track, &#8220;No Soul,&#8221; originally released via Frank Kozik&#8217;s now-defunct, infamous&#160;Man&#8217;s Ruin label as a vinyl-only limited edition. Additionally, the band will release the&#160;original six-song demo session recorded at AmRep Studios in Minneapolis, MN. This&#160;previously unreleased material will be included in the digital download format and will&#160;also be made available for streaming and download. Despite its cult status, the band had never performed Occupational Hazard in its entirety&#8211; until a newly announced, one-time-only special performance at the Roadburn Festival&#160;in April 2026. In addition to this exclusive appearance, Unsane will embark on a full&#160;EU/UK headline tour, running from March 13 to April 19, 2026.&#160;]]></description>
