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.

Early Exit with FoundiT and ColorMeKrazy!
Early Exit Early Exit is a rock music band rising out of Raleigh, NC. Seamlessly weaving together influences from Green Day to Queens of the Stone Age to the Arctic Monkeys, the band pairs exciting instrumentals with piercing lyrics to create a powerful brand of music. FoundiT FoundiT is a 4-Piece Pop Punk/Rock Band based in Raleigh NC. Blending elements of 2000’s pop punk and emo rock with modern day pop rock-they bridge the gap between nostalgia and something new. ColorMeKrazy! The brainchild of a bedroom-pop artist & an ex-scene kid, ColorMeKrazy! is a collective of musicians/maniacs hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina. In 2023, the band was formed with the intention to meld the saccharine aesthetic & sensibilities of modern hyperpop artists (Brakence, 100 Gecs, Charlie XCX) with the powerful, dark, scream-crying-in-the-rain-angst of yesteryear’s emo titans (My Chemical Romance, Senses Fail, Taking Back Sunday) into it’s own unique flavor of electronic pop-punk music.
