Weird God with Gio Mesto and Ex Iguana

Weird God Bandcamp Born and raised in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas, this North Carolina based sibling duo mixes loud and fast big beats with dreamlike melodies to create a delightful cosmic swirl of post rock/punk exultation.   Gio Mesto Bandcamp Based in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area, Gio Mesto is a four piece that plays songs inspired by the angular rhythms and textures of post-punk, art rock, and shoegaze; as well as drawing from jazz harmony and melody. These influences are evident on both EPs recorded and released in 2024. The band is also known for their moving renditions of classic hits such as ‘8 Mile’ and ‘Still the One.’   Ex Iguana Bandcamp Ex Iguana is an emotive punk duo from Saxapahaw/Carrboro, NC. They blend evocative lyrics and catchy riffs into looping hooks that constantly threaten to self-destruct before finding cathartic release. They put out their first full-length record in May 2025 (“Be a Good Boy” – available on bandcamp) and now they’re making another one.
