Whoop with LaureNicole
Whoop Website On sophomore album Just What? North Carolina’s Whoop traverse indie-pop, rock, reggae, and jazzy hip-hop with instinctive musicality, rare chemistry, and palpable joy. Due on Porcelain Records on April 1 st , the foursome’s second full-length in as many years evolves an innately diverse palette channeled through force-of-nature vocalist Fal and shaped by Grammy-winning guitarist/producer Steve Bigas. “Music is supposed to bring people together, shake things up, cause a ruckus, and make a mark,” said Fal. “I always want Whoop to leave a lasting impression in someone’s mind/heart/ears.” Formed in 2020, Whoop evolved organically from Friday night jams in Bigas’ barn studio in Raleigh. Consisting of musical moments captured, distilled, and tastefully shaped into songs, the band’s celebratory yet introspective eponymous debut emerged to rave reviews just a year later. Since then, the prolific quartet, completed by bassist Nick and drummer Will, has been performing electrifying live shows – including Carolina Indie Fest and the NC State Fair – between the writing/recording sessions that ultimately spawned Just What?

Cancelled: The Stray Lions with The Sheeps, Dover and the Elevators, and Dakota Proctor
The Stray Lions Bandcamp / Instagram The Stray Lions are a pop group or musical dance craze from Roanoke Virginia. The Sheeps Bandcamp / Instagram Dover and the Elevators Bandcamp / Instagram The electric duo that makes up Dover and the Elevators are here to disappoint. The garage rock, psychedelic, punk band are all of those genres and yet no particular one simultaneously. Dover’s music is best heard while speeding in school zones or while sitting in your room thinking about your ex. They comes in hot, and leave you rode hard and put up wet.

US Christmas with Doomsday Profit and Dead Halos
US Christmas Instagram / Bandcamp As USX enters their third decade as a band, they continue to push their sound into challenging new territory, blending wall- of-sound torrents of guitar, melancholic Appalachian dirge, and experimental electronic textures into a seamless and intense whole. Doomsday Profit Website / Instagram / Bandcamp Durham, N.C. sludge metal band Doomsday Profit have built upon their foundations of gritty, groovy, and psych-splattered sludge with their forthcoming self-titled album, out Sept. 19, 2025. Across the album’s nine songs, the band has embedded an even wider array of influences into their acerbic, dystopian sludge. Particles of monolithic doom, grisly death ‘n’ roll grooves, driving punk rock and scathing black metal all flash in the band’s raw recordings. As ever, Doomsday Profit has a finger pointed squarely at the powers that be, but they’ve also learned to turn their ire inward, and balance their vitriol with melancholic nuance. This broader approach has turned their already dynamic performances into a must-see, with a live resume that includes Hopscotch Music Festival and Seismic Summer, as well as supporting slots with established acts like Thou, The Obsessed, Black Tusk, REZN, and Restless Spirit.
