                                <description><![CDATA[Vassal&#160; Instagram / Bandcamp &#160; Heavy/Power metal band from Durham, NC &#160; Crimson Steel Instagram / Spotify &#160; Crimson Steel is a North Carolina-based traditional/US power metal band. "Show No Fear" is being released on Heaven and Hell Records on October 2nd. &#160; Aitalla Website / Instagram &#160; The music of AITTALA (pronounced 'EYE-tah-la') crosses many metal genres; it&#8217;s hard to put it into just one category. The sound infuses elements of classic heavy metal, doom, progressive, power, thrash and hard rock with lyrics drawing inspiration from the darker side of the human condition. The AITTALA sound has been cited for being unique which is no easy feat in the metal genre.The first version of AITTALA was formed in 1991 while Eric was living in Holland. With fellow American Tim on vocals and Dutch bandmates Ed (drums) and Jon (bass), the band became a staple of the Dutch metal scene.With the release of the 3-song EP 'Selling Heaven' in summer of 1993, AITTALA opened for such bands as THE GATHERING and SADIST.Unfortunately, as the demo started to create a buzz in the underground European metal scene, Eric had to return to the US and disbanded AITTALA. In 2008, the time was right to resurrect AITTALA.In total, AITTALA released 6 full-length albums and 3 EPs: 'Selling Heaven' EP (1993), 'Bed of Thorns' (2009), 'Haunt Your Flesh' (2011), 'Effigy' (2014), 'American Nightmare' (2016), 'False Pretenses' (2019),'Live to Regret (2022), 'Machines' (2025) and 'Ill-Gotten Gains' (2025).Each release showcasing a natural progression of songwriting and lyrical content but retaining the core AITTALA sound and evolving it.The current lineup of AITTALA consists of Eric Aittala on guitars/vocals and Gary 'Zeus' Smith (THE FIFTH, ex-MR BLACKWELL) on drums and Dane Taylor (EVIL I, ex-MOTORBILLY) on bass. They continue to write, record and tour to bring AITTALA to the masses.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Le Lotus Imagine: A basement. Now imagine you&#8217;re in the basement. And in the basement, a band plays. Melodies glisten, guitars roar. You&#8217;re surrounded by the stuff of dreams. You ask yourself, &#8216;what band is this?&#8217; A voice from within whispers, &#8216;This is le Lotus, from Raleigh, NC.&#8217; Why a basement? Not really sure&#8230; &#160; candiland candiland is a 5-piece indie rock / dream pop band based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Drawing from the dreamy textures of My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins alongside the songwriting of Wednesday and Big Thief, their sound blends shoegaze, alternative rock, and indie folk into something immersive and emotionally direct. Fronted by singer and primary lyricist Lily Mars, the band moves between intimate, reflective moments and louder, more cathartic passages. Guitarists Ace McAteer and Gabe Harmon build colorful, dreamlike atmospheres through layered tones and interplay, while Asher de la Torre (bass) and Ayden Taylor (drums) provide a steady, driving foundation. The members come from across the Triangle but consider Chapel Hill home, where they&#8217;ve been steadily building a presence through live performances and a growing catalog of original music. Lilac Drive &#160;Lilac Drive is a band that creates vibrant yet moody dream pop with rock elements based in the Traingle area of NC. They are a three-piece band consisting of Libby Miller on bass, lead vocals, and guitar, Charlie Bird on guitar and synth and Henry Sasser on the drums. They have performed at venues including The Pour House, The Cave and The Orb. The founders of the band, Libby and Charlie, started creating music together in 2023. They wrote a few songs with musician and producer Aidan Thomann, who is featured on their first single titled &#8220;Take The Chance,&#8221; released in August of 2025. It is available on all streaming platforms, and they are excited to continue releasing singles, and eventually an EP this summer.Follow them on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok under @lilacdriveband]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Drunken Prayer Website / Instagram / Bandcamp &#160; Morgan Geer was a key element at the dawn of Asheville&#8217;s current country musicrenaissance too, playing guitar and singing in the enigmatic, off kilter country band,The Unholy Trio. He and bass player David Wayne Gay (Freakwater, ReigningSound, Krektones) started the group with Lance Wille (Reigning Sound, Krektones)on drums. Bloodshot Records debuted their single and video of Public Enemy&#8217;s&#8220;Bring the Noise&#8220; at SXSW, prompting Esquire magazine to call it one of the greatestcover songs of all time. After a chance conversation in Northern California with Tom Waits about the musicof the church, Morgan took off for Portland, OR to play for bikers at the Queen ofHearts Tavern on Sunday mornings. That&#8217;s where the name &#8220;Drunken Prayer&#8221; wasborn. The newest Drunken Prayer record, Thy Burdens, is an homage to the fiery musicof the church. Partnering with Drive-By Truckers&#8217; Bobby Matt Patton, the pairrecorded this album in Asheville and North Mississippi with some of their friendsfrom Appalachia and the Delta including members of MJ Lenderman &#38; the Wind,Band of Heathens, Jimbo Mathis&#8217; group and Wednesday. &#160; Knockout Artist Bandcamp / Instagram &#160; Knockout Artist is a band from Chapel Hill, NC.

                                <description><![CDATA[Shearling Bandcamp Serving as a spiritual continuation of the now-defunct Sprain, Shearling exhibits the reunion of a now decade-old collaborative force between guitarists Alexander Kent and Sylvie Simmmons. A subsequent recruiting of percussionist Andrew Chanover, bassist Wesley Nelson, and Keyboardist Elizabeth Carver filled out their orchestrally-minded roster. The band was mostly quiet for its first year of existence, avoiding live performances to instead focus on their brazen debut &#8216;Motherfucker, I am Both: &#8220;Amen&#8221; and "Hallelujah"&#8230;&#8217; The record retains Sprain&#8217;s characteristic commitment to intensity, further mutated through a newfound lens of collagist approach. Featuring only a single, hour-plus long song, Motherfucker is a demanding exhibition of uncompromising ethos. Shearling&#8217;s aggressive live performances and meticulous recordings demonstrate an ambition, audacity, and emotional vulnerability that few contemporary bands can parallel. &#160; "Shearling present a work that could grow to be one of the great cult albums of alternative music." - Beats Per Minute &#160; "Calling Motherfucker both a wildly bold and ambitious debut would still be an understatement" - New Noise Magazine]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Matt Heckler Website / Bandcamp / Instagram MATT HECKLER is a solo multi-instrumentalist that barely fits into any ordinary musical category. He tends to keep to the darker side of Appalachian mountain music and early bluegrass but listen long enough and you&#8217;ll soon be transported to the mountains of Eastern Europe or a dimly lit bar in Ireland where they honor those who have passed with a gently swaying a cappella ballad. After touring almost nonstop for years in support of bands like Devil Makes Three, Lost Dog Street Band, Flogging Molly, and others, HECKLER, like the rest of us, got sidelined by the ongoing global pandemic. With the newfound time off, he set to pushing creative boundaries in his home recording studio as far as his mind would allow. Each fiddle, banjo, and guitar track carefully put in place all the while retaining the grit and energy reflected in his live shows. Paired perfectly as the sequel to After The Flood, the Blood, Water, Coal album is a defining release in his career. Blood, Water, Coal was performed and recorded by MATT HECKLER with upright bass and backing vocals provided by Jeff Loops (Lost Dog Street Band). While recording Blood, Water, Coal, MATT HECKLER released The Magnolia Sessions outdoor live set &#8211; the maiden release for the now popular series &#8211; which made it to #9 on the Bluegrass Billboard Charts. The Magnolia Sessions was still charting upon the release of Blood, Water, Coal, which debuted at #3, leaving HECKLER with two albums running on the Billboard Charts simultaneously. With the release of his last album, "This Town Is Killin Me", HECKLER signed off on his fourth album with a national tour. Fans filled the venues for a rowdy solo act, and he held true to the grit of his live shows reputation. Moving forward, HECKLER has a new album in the works, which he says is his best yet. Keep your ears peeled for future&#160;recordings, videos and performances near you. &#160; Julian Sikes Bandcamp]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Withered Website From its inception, WITHERED has been an outlier, a perplexing charge of extremity which the metal scene has never been able to put its finger on. &#8220;We want to compound new elements into every album,&#8221; posits guitarist/vocalist Mike Thompson, &#8220;and we&#8217;re definitely a band for metal nerds. Our audience seems to be the old-schoolers who are absorbed by this stuff every day and jaded folks of a certain age. Industry types and peers tend to get it, but that&#8217;s about it.&#8221; Thompson&#8217;s self deprecating assessment of his creative output might be part gentlemanly humility talking or a harshly realistic take on WITHERED&#8217;s cult status, or somewhere in between, but with an impressive body of work fanned out over the course of 18 years and five albums which have weathered as many trends, the Atlanta quartet continues to confound and refuses to compromise. New album, Verloren is the band&#8217;s most daring and iconoclastic work yet, one that spits in the eye of complacency and exists as a contrarian masterstroke. &#160; Xenobile Website &#160; Ignorant Death Metal from Atlanta &#160; BLIX Bandcamp / Instagram &#160; NC Black Metal &#160; Aterra Bandcamp / Instagram &#160; Black Metal trio based out of North Carolina.

Play Some Music reunites the band&#8217;s most recognizable and widest traveling lineup of Jason Sidney Sanford, Mark William Pearson, and Daniel Paul Boucher, whose 2008 LP Gong Lake (Table of the Elements) and 2006 LP Patterns (Les Potagers Natures) serve as defining releases among the band&#8217;s catalog of over thirty recordings. Wielding their distinctive homemade instruments - a melding of hardware store and landfill &#8211; Play Some Music features microtonal and macrotonal wire-framed steel guitars as well as amplified drums, amplified circular saw blade percussion, electronics, and feedback organ to produce a suite of songs, improvised and composed, that explore classical mythology and the nebulous realm of memory. Always expanding their sound world, Neptune&#8217;s signature frenetic guitars and drums are joined by new gamelan-like amplified percussion and phantasmagoric electronic textures hovering over its ether. &#160; PIPE Bandcamp&#160; In the &#8216;90s,&#160;Pipe&#160;burned bright before it burned out. After releasing a sizable catalog (an EP, four singles and three LPs, plus assorted compilation cuts) and touring with the likes of Archers of Loaf and New Bomb Turks, injuries and road fatigue ended the band in 1999, after only seven years. Then, after a 10-year quiet, Pipe&#8217;s original lineup&#8212;singer Ron Liberti, guitarist Mike Kenlan, drummer Chuck Garrison and bassist Dave Alworth&#8212;reunited in advance of Merge Records' 20th anniversary festival.&#160;And they just keep playing!]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Dinner Time Instagram / Bandcamp Dinner Time was founded in Atlanta, GA in 2018 as a collaborative project, focused on bringing together songwriters from several existing groups. Influenced by garage rock, saccharine 60s melodies, and a DIY mentality, the group released their debut album DINNER TIME in 2019. The group continued to redefine their sound on subsequent LPs Halfway Down (2021) and Technicolor (2024), adding moody synthesizers, more psychedelic production techniques, and leaning into jazzier changes. The quintet has spent the years in between touring the country, appearing at Treefort Music festival, SXSW, and even collaborating with the Atlanta Braves. Now the band has come full circle, and is ready to share DINNER TIME 2. This album represents a return to form, back to the familiar influences of their debut, now with years of experience under their belts. Layers of acoustic guitars and mellow pianos evoke the sounds of the 70s, while catchy melodies and soaring guitar harmonies hint at the band&#8217;s varied influences (which include the Zombies, the Beatles, the Doobie Brothers, Randy Newman, CSNY, and Masayoshi Takanaka). Produced in collaboration with Clark Hamilton (Klark Sound, Improvement Movement), DINNER TIME 2 will be released on May 8, 2026 via Dinner Time Records.&#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Total Chaos Instagram / Bandcamp &#160; Thirty years ago in Pomona Valley, California, was the birth of Total Chaos. Created out of the desperate needto save a dying genre of punk rock, during a time that the market was saturated with a more commercial newstyle. It was more important than ever to express their social and political views. The idea of socialresponsibility was a significant thing, from organizing peace punk picnics, to protesting against the gulf war,their music had a meaning and stood for something. Over the years, the band has seen many things come andgo, but they have stuck to their original ideals. Whether you are pop punk, street punk, hardcore punk,straight edge, political punk, goth punk, skate punk, crust punk, metal punk, or whatever box they try to putyou in, Total Chaos unites you all into one scene:PUNK ROCK! &#160; Noogy Instagram&#160;/ Bandcamp &#160; Noogy is punk band from Denton TX, formed in January 2016. Mixing 80&#8217;s hardcore with the ska-punk of the East Bay sound to create a back-to-basics classic style.   Lyrical content express far left political views to stories of troubled adolescence, drug abuse, punk culture and other social issues.   Founded by Andre Vorhis (guitar/vox) and Nick Helm (drummer), the band went through numerous line up changes over the years. Anthony Martinez (guitarist/vox) was added in 2018 and has been a permanent fixture ever since.   After touring relentlessly with a series of different bassists and tagging along with bands such as T.S.O.L., M.D.C., Reagan Youth, Flipper, etc and opening for Pennywise at Punk Rock Bowling 2019, Noogy recorded the Roughhousin EP at Civil Audio studios.   Prior to the release of the Roughhousin EP, drummer Nick Helm passed away on April 24th, 2020.   Noogy&#8217;s first full length was released on 9/25/2021. It featured a series of previously unreleased/released/demos of drums by Nick Helm from the last few years and were recorded over and remixed to make the album.   It was not how the album was intended to be made but was the only way to have original line up on the record.   The songs Nick didn&#8217;t have a chance to do were filled in by Antonio Val Hernandez of T.S.O.L. and was mixed/mastered/co-produced by Michael Briggs At Civil Audio.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Born Without Bones Website / Instagram / Bandcamp /&#160; Born Without Bones has always been a band that didn&#8217;t quite fit in. While rooted in the Massachusetts DIY punk scene, they've always pulled from a wide range of influences. Traces of big guitars and even bigger hooks of &#8216;90s alternative mixed with the storytelling and subdued tones of heartland singer-songwriters, culminate in a sound that is distinctly their own. Born Without Bones' emphasis on crafting pop hooks sets them apart from most of their punk scene peers. The band has released four full lengths, Say Hello (2010), Baby (2013), Young At The Bend (2017) and Dancer (2022). The band formed in 2010 as a solo project by singer and guitarist Scott Ayotte. After the release of their debut LP &#8220;Say Hello,&#8221; The band self released their sophomore record, &#8220;Baby&#8221; in 2013 and began touring the country in earnest. After a few years on the road the band released their third record, &#8220;Young At The Bend&#8221; on their own imprint, Devil You Know Records. In 2021, they signed to Pure Noise Records and simultaneously released the &#8220;Pictures Of The Sun EP&#8221;, a collection of re-recorded and reimagined favorites from the band&#8217;s catalog like &#8220;Baby&#8221; and &#8220;Falling Asleep.&#8221; Their fourth full length album, &#8220;Dancer&#8221; was released the following year. In 2023, the band embarked on a 23 date US tour to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their sophomore album &#8220;Baby.&#8221;&#160; Born Without Bones is Scott Ayotte (vocals, guitar), Jonathan Brucato (guitar), Sam Checkoway (drums) and Ryan McKenna (bass).]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Third of Never Bandcamp / Website Third of Never's new album Damage The Pearl is the soundtrack to a feature-length film set for a 2026 release. The film is loosely based on a narrative inspired by the songs. Third of Never's lead singer Doug MacMillan (also known for his work with the Connells) and guitarist Jon Dawson star in the Brent Clark film. The band is rounded out by founding member Jode Haskins (lead bass), Charles Cleaver (keyboards), and drummer Brandon Ruth. Also appearing on the album are Who/Pete Townshend keyboardist John 'Rabbit' Bundrick, Steve Potak (Connells), and Sara Bell (Lud). On June 6th the band's set will focus on material from Damage The Pearl, along with material from their previous four albums and the debut of two new songs. For music, video, and band interviews, visit www.343Collective.com. Erie Choir Website / Bandcamp &#8220;Erie Choir is almost an anagram of my name,&#8221; Eric Roehrig explains with a slight chuckle. &#8220;The album titles are all anagrams&#8212;the first one is called Slighter Awake, which, taken altogether, says &#8216;Eric Roehrig takes a while.&#8217;&#8221; It&#8217;s been eight years since Old Rigs, Erie Choir&#8217;s second album, which arrived nine years after the band&#8217;s 2006 debut. Roehrig characterizes himself as &#8220;easily distracted,&#8221; but &#8220;patient&#8221; is a better descriptor for his songs and their lengthy gestation periods. The gorgeous arrangements, the earwormy melodies, the layers of sly humor and poignant observation in the lyrics&#8212;all of this comes from Roehrig&#8217;s unwillingness to rush, to let the songs appear and dictate their direction. The Carrboro, NC-based songwriter came up in the Chapel Hill indie rock scene, splitting lead duties in Sorry About Dresden with the late Matt Oberst. Roehrig first started Erie Choir in the early 2000s as a channel for his acoustic folk musings that didn&#8217;t quite fit with his main band, but over the past 20 years, it&#8217;s morphed into a full-throated, muscular rock and roll outfit. What began as a quiet solo project gradually accrued trusted collaborators, slowly solidifying into the longstanding lineup of today: Roehrig, fellow Sorry About Dresden alumnus James Hepler, Bob Wall, Jack Watson, and Ben Spiker.&#160; Scivic Rivers&#160; Website / Bandcamp&#160; Scivic Rivers is the musical nom de plume of American singer-songwriter Randy Bickford; the new self-titled album is his seventh LP. Bickford's songs have earned him wide recognition from fellow lifer musicians and critics alike. Pitchfork described his writing as "tracing a single thought or sketching a single image throughout the course of several bars, building suspense and making you wait patiently for the pay-off". Scivic Rivers represents the next epoch of Bickford&#8217;s work. In retrospect, it makes sense: he released his initial output as the Strugglers, often emergent and spare as the bones of his songwriting hardened. In time, he found himself upright and walking in his craft, releasing a pair of albums under his own name, Brice Randall Bickford, still personal but now breathing with life and rich arrangements. But all walking is controlled falling, and the coming years would invite and even require a new horizon.]]></description>
