One listen to The Unlikely Candidates (Kyle Morris, Cole Male, Kevin Goddard, Brent Carney & Jared Hornbeek) and it’s clear that the Fort Worth, TX alternative rock mavericks create their own scene. One song vaults from stadium anthem into a piano ballad, while the next twists from syncopated singalong into a contemporary grunge-influenced pop song.

Hailing from Texas, the boys immediately separated themselves since uniting in high school. Breaking from the typical musical traditions associated with the Lone Star State, they turned up with an alternative style of their own. They challenged the status quo and carved out their own niche in Fort Worth.

The band has logged countless miles on the road alongside everyone from Cage The Elephant, Sublime with Rome, The Offspring, Young The Giant, The Dirty Heads, Fall Out Boy, The Goo Goo Dolls, & most recently 311. As they’ve grown as a band, the boys have earned acclaim from the likes of The New York Times, AXS, Esquire, Nylon, Alternative Press, Baeble, and more. Additionally, the band’s music has been featured on Hulu’s Veronica Mars, Showtime’s Ray Donovan, ABC's American Idol, FOX's The Four, NFL's Super Bowl 2018 playoffs, and ESPN's 2018 Indy 500. The truth is, with steeple-vaulting vocal acrobatics and fiery falsetto’s, combined with heavy-hitting synth melodies, undeniably catchy lyrics, and feel good beats, The Unlikely Candidates’ sound is still too big and bold for any scene.

Gozu first emerged on the scene in 2010, after the release of their seven track, self-titled EP. Fronted by Marc Gaffney vocals and guitar, Doug Sherman on guitar, Joe Grotto on bass, and Mike Hubbard on drums, Small Stone Records soon snapped up Gozu, releasing their critically acclaimed album "Locust Season" that same year. Gozu spent the next year touring the Northeast with bands like St. Vitus, Pallbearer, Lo Pan, Helmet, Elder, Church of Misery, and Fu Manchu. Shadowing the success of Locust Season, Gozu returned to the studio in 2013, recording their sophomore full-length album "The Fury of a Patient Man". Fury displays Gozu still driven by Gaff’s butter melting melodies and Doug’s mega-thick riffs.

Despite Nashville’s reputation for assembly-line pop country, the town called Music City is a place of deep history, where brilliant songwriters and virtuoso session players keep dozens of musical legacies burning bright. Nashville’s preeminent fuzz-psych power trio Howling Giant live in the pocket of that lineage, and on their eagerly awaited second full-length, Glass Future, they kick out the righteous jams with furrowed determination and wild abandon.

"Austin, TX-based power trio Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol sound just about as big and dumb as their moniker would imply. They’re also as ridiculously awesome as their big, dumb moniker would imply. Since 2017 or thereabouts, vocalist and eight-string slinger Leo Lydon, bassist Aaron Metzdorf and drummer Sean St.Germain have been churning out lumbering cascades of clobbering, trucker hat riffage that toe a slobbery line between Dinosaur Jr., Primus, Pantera and ZZ Top (though yours truly hears a bunch of Netherlands, Dangers and Helmet in there as well) all working to leave untold pounds of undigested red meat in your lower intestine and unadulterated metallic ear worms beating the living tar out of your malleus, incus and stapes." - Decibel

Founded in 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia, Whores has established themselves as one of the most successful and motivated bands in the genre today. Elements of Helmet, Melvins, and the Amphetamine Reptile roster can be heard throughout their catalog, but Whores are no regurgitated throwback act. Through intense, cathartic live performances and the perfected aggressive tenacity present on their recordings, the band has gained a fervent following sure to do nothing but grow in the years to come. October 28, 2016 saw the band's first full-length album, "GOLD." The album was widely praised, garnering spots in the top ten on album of the year lists through publications such as Rolling Stone, MetalSucks, Heavy Planet, Invisible Oranges, and more. The band is currently recording the follow-up to "GOLD." Prior to the release of "GOLD.," Whores' output included two now-classic EPs. "RUINER." released December 20, 2011, put the band on the noise rock map and is now on its fourth pressing. They followed this up with the even-more popular "CLEAN." released October 29, 2013 and now on its sixth pressing. In their short career, Whores have received much critical praise. Some highlights include: • "Ten Artists You Need To Know" - Rolling Stone • "11 Metal Choruses That Will Get Stuck In Your Head All Day" - Alternative Press • "Best of 2016: Metal" - Apple Music #10 Best Metal record of 2016 - Rolling Stone #1 Top Metal Albums of 2016 - Metalsucks

At its core, Tomato Tree by The Slaps is an exercise in patience that seamlessly showcases the virtues of experimentation. Composed of guitarist/vocalist Rand Kelly, bassist/vocalist Ramsey Bell, and percussionist/vocalist Josh Resing, the band’s latest collection of songs is an achievement – a document of deepening friendship and their collective and personal advancements in artistic maturity.

Though the band formed out of a chance meeting at a party in 2016 during their first year of college at DePaul University, The Slaps are bound together by a spirit of pastoral music making – the notion that collaboratively using the available resources can produce stunning results.

The two halves of Tampa rap duo They Hate Change—Dre (he/him) and Vonne (they/them)—first came together in front of the apartment complex where they both lived as teens. Dre had just moved down from Rochester, NY; Vonne was trying to sell him bad weed. It was clear from the start that the two listen to music differently from most people—they’re sonic omnivores, obsessive deep-divers, lovers of rare and radical sounds. Starting as kids trawling the internet for tracks, they’ve been collecting music from around the world and across the decades, amassing a shared sonic knowledge so deep that “encyclopedic” barely begins to cover it.

Urban Heat is poised to break nationally in 2024. Fusing dark 80s stylings with modern flourishes, Urban Heat formed in 2019 with multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Horstmann enlisting Kevin Naquin and Paxel Foley to form a live show based around his analog sound design. Undeniably danceable, with melodic synths layered over heavy hitting bass lines, Urban Heat’s high-energy live show offers a spark of hope for the future while wrapped in the malaise of the present and nostalgia of the past. Urban Heat has seen immense success in a short time, receiving recognition as “Best Band” by Austin Monthly Magazine, “Song of the Year” for “Have You Ever” at the 2023 Austin Music Awards, and frontman Horstmann hailed as having “star power more present than any Austin musician in recent history” by SPIN Magazine.

Urban Heat captivates and uplifts concertgoers; with a powerful performance at 2023’s Cruel World Festival and 2023’s premier Darker Waves Festival, packed performances at SXSW, and 2022’s Austin City Limits Festival. They look forward to touring new continents and territories to support the record release in 2024.

An outfit conceived by Chris Moore (Repulsion) and Josephine Olivia (Blacksage) in Washington DC, VOSH explodes with sexual energy, aggression, longing and sheer power. Layers of electrifying guitars, heavy synths, thunderous drums, and Josephine’s unmistakably commanding voice create a haunting landscape. Built on muscle and sweat, VOSH is synchronized, like an industrial machine, fusing the grace and finesse of a living breathing force. Their debut album, ‘VESSEL’ is a testament to that force, summoning something sinister and sexy, blazing their own trail in the darkwave / goth / industrial arena.

Divide and Dissolve’s new album Systemic examines the systems that intrinsically bind us and calls for a system that facilitates life for everyone. It’s a message that fits with the band’s core intention: to make music that honours their ancestors and Indigenous land, to oppose white supremacy, and to work towards a future of Black and Indigenous liberation.

Saxophonist and guitarist Takiaya Reed comments, “This music is an acknowledgement of the dispossession that occurs due to colonial violence,” She continues, “The goal of the colonial project is to separate Indigenous people from their culture, their life force, their community and their traditions. The album is in direct opposition to this.”

"This is death metal that puts heaviness and atmosphere first and foremost. They play with a punk edge and is borderline grindcore in its delivery, think of Hateplow or Misery Index. Pig’s Blood is a death metal album with a demo like rawness. It feels like you are in the front row and the amp is blazing into your ear or you’re watching the band practise." -Brutalism

This Will Destroy You was formed by guitarists Chris King and Jeremy Galindo, bassist Raymond Brown and drummer Andrew Miller in San Marcos, Texas, in 2005. They had met through mutual friends, and played together in various different bands throughout high school, before the line-up was finalised by around 2002. Early iterations of the band experimented with vocals, sung by Galindo, but after recording some tracks they decided the results were “awful” and didn’t fit in with the rest of their music. The band then tried writing different tracks, one of which was instrumental.

Chris King said in an interview with BBC Northern Ireland, “we were … writing different kinds of songs and we wrote one song, and we were like, that works, lets go for it!” The band took its name from an early song that they were originally going to call “This Will Destroy You”, but this was rejected for being too pretentious.

The band found the name “hilarious”. When asked whether he wished the band had chosen a different name, King said to Rock Sound, “It’s supposed to be a little bit obnoxious. There’s something about people automatically hating you before you play that’s kind of endearing.

After years of uncertainty including label disputes, unpaid royalties and a surprise (and successful) album drop,And she is ready to make some noise. Her new album Let Me Do One More is three years in the making and Tudzin’s most defiant and accomplished record to date. Let Me Do One More is out now via Snack Shack Tracks (in partnership with Hopeless Records.)

After the success of her debut album, Kiss Yr Frenemies, and coining the term “tenderpunk,” illuminati hotties were on their way to recording and releasing a highly-anticipated sophomore album. However, things at the label started to fall apart, and illuminati hotties found themselves stuck in a contract with a label who didn’t have the infrastructure to put out the album the band had been crafting for months. “It felt like any momentum came to a screeching halt. It felt painful to pick up a guitar, to write, to record any loose ends that needed to happen to wrap up the album,” Sarah recalls.

With the emotional turmoil and uncertainty building over the label situation, Tudzin turned her focus to a new batch of songs that would become FREE I.H. Funneling all the raw feelings and letting go of any inhibitions, illuminati hotties released the collection of songs, carefully not defined as the “new album.” The critically-acclaimed, fan favorite, release closed the chapter on the label drama, and opened up the band musically to a whole world of possibilities.

After performing with such bands as Toho Sara, Ohkami No Jikan, Musica Transonic, and Mainliner, Japanese guitarist Makoto Kawabata decided to continue his musical explorations by bringing together like-minded individuals to create trippy psychedelic freak-outs inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Krautrock, and '70s progressive hard rock. Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. (Underground Freak Out) were founded in 1996 as a "soul collective." It's not a commune in the full sense since the members don't all live together, but it is based on communal values and has even been mistaken by some people for a religious cult.
