The Echidnas album blew me away, you can immediately tell this music is made for everyone. From the raw personality of the band to every hand that had a hand with the project, you can feel it man...

There is very little documenting the band Driven online, and they only ever released this album as far as I’m aware. This is my love letter in the hopes of spreading their sound to the searchers of the lesser known...

For the foul-eared, gnarly tone fanatics, and lovers of all things brutal; Viscerot is disgusting in all the right ways. My friend and I were stoked to see grindcore legends Wormrot awhile back, and hadn’t heard of the other bands slotted on the bill...

This debut album from KWC is largely considered their "heaviest" but is by no means their only stringed and rhythmic dance with pummeling songs. With each release in their career becoming progressively more focused on letting the songs breathe and negative space...

The band at its crux is a two piece with a revolving door of drummers/bassists that seamlessly blend elements of washed out nu-gaze vocals similar to Narrow Head, metalcore riffage and screams like Disembodied, and beatdown hardcore two-step cadences that hang with the best of them. Low guttural screams overlaid with crushing super compressed bass and tasty drums are some of my favorite elements the band offers...

Far exists somewhere in the middle of the musical purgatory that was the late 90's post-hardcore scene. With alums like Quicksand, At The Drive-In, and Jawbox (FAR covered their version of Savory...

Hailing from Houston, Texas, this Nu-Metal band fuses Metalcore & Experimental Electronic sounds with little elements of Hyperpop. Started with band members Han Kim, Gustavo Hernandez, Carlos Pertuz, and Daniel Garcia...

This band sounds like shit. Literal shit. And it's fucking awesome. Facehugger from San Antonio/Boerne, Texas only have 5 tracks out right now, because frankly the world isn't ready for more. Filthy disgusting toilet vocals, harsh chainsaw guitar work, woobly low bass and the minciest snare imaginable coagulate into some gnarly goregrind, with the lyrics being poetic and insightful as well...

I first learned of Wenge through a potential Facebook Marketplace trade and promptly witnessed their blanketing nu-gaze/alt-rock genius at The Starlighter the same week. 3 damn guitarists...

The most simplistically beautiful band that never got their laurels. Rob Crow and Armistead Smith IV are the sole driving force behind the legendary and unsung group that is Pinback...

DCMAM started their journey in the summer of '24 with Akira (Bass) and Diego (Guitar) looking for musicians to jam with. Shortly after they linked up with drummer Atticus and an unnamed original vocalist who is no longer in the band...

Mourning Sun has undergone many transformations since its inception. The band was originally formed in 2015 by Emmanuel Facio (bass), who was also the original guitarist, along with his longtime best friend during their high school years...

Grab your Raws, your finest herb, and lighter of choice. This album is best imbibed stoned. With that being said, the name Weed is intended as a verb referring to "getting rid of."...

If you're a fan of good ole fashioned screamo, you need to know OnceMore. Originally a genre hopping potluck of members hailing from different bands in the local area; they have conglomerated into an amazingly raw and true-to-self group...

Drive Like Jehu might just be the most important band of the 90's for the progression of the emo and noise rock sound and its history. Their sophomore record Yank Crime completely changed the way I, as well as countless other musicians view song structure and the use of noise in a satisfying and musical application...

Postal is a gnarly metallic deathcore/melodic metalcore band from the 210 who set out with a mission to create y2k core style sounds. With a sonic palette reminiscent of Converge, Zao, On Broken Wings, Boundaries and early Emmure, they've fused multiple genres and come out greater than the sum of said parts...
