BIO Since their 2019 debut album Glitch, Cryogeyser has delivered a steady arc of distinctive melodies—both sonically mesmerizing and cathartic. Reflecting years of breakdown, renewal, and lucid introspection, Cryogeyser finds the band at their most evolved, fortifying existing strengths and exploring new sonic sensibilities: huge, gritty guitars, blissful pop melodies, surreal soundscapes, and tenderly immediate vocals. Cryogeyser have shifted their earlier vision of longing and resistance to one of metamorphosis, and cemented a spellbinding sound that realizes their transfigurative trajectory. Each song on Cryogeyser invites listeners to submit fully to landscapes that illuminate the viscerality of transformation. “This album is about heat,” singer Shawn Marom explains. “Capturing ice and holding it forever—even as it melts—knowing you’re burning but staying in orbit.” Across the album’s sonic thresholds is a transfixing, heartfelt drive that celebrates the warmth that can emerge from new realizations. “Before music, I often felt like I took up too much space,” they reflect on Cryogeyser, which marks a deeply personal evolution. “This album is about transforming that shame into something shimmery and hopeful—playing like myself and no one else.” In immersive dedication to vulnerability, change, and the inevitable passage of time, the collection encapsulates the band’s journey and is a testament to Cryogeyser’s ethos: burning curiosity and fearless exploration of seemingly immutable grief.

Doors: 6PM / Show: 7PM / 21+ The cast of Radioactivity reads like the credits to an all-star lineup of Texas punk and garage rock royalty, including members of The Marked Men, Mind Spiders, Bad Sports, Wax Museums, The Reds, VIDEO, and The Novice. Jeff Burke is one of the most distinctive songwriters in the punk rock underground, and these songs will sound instantly familiar to any fans of the aforementioned. Radioactivity's first LP was rightly hailed as a sort of sequel to The Marked Men's remarkable run through the first decade of the millennium, and while Silent Kill bears the unmistakable hallmarks of that band's tightly wound "Denton sound," Radioactivity can now lay claim to a sonic territory of their very own. Burke's distinctive hooks dig as deep as ever, but the scope of his vision has expanded. Although the twelve songs on Silent Kill abide one strict rule--providing garage punk pleasure at all costs--Radioactivity bend that mandate in myriad ways. Breathless ragers like "Battered" and "No Alarm" are as fleet and raw as anything in the combined canon of Radioactivity's members, while mid-tempo heartbreakers "Way Out," "Connection" and "Where I Come From" find Burke and company opening up their sound to let in a little tenderness. And then there are songs like "Not Here" or "With You," which enact perfect unions of melody and kinetic energy. Admirers of Burke's legacy will be not only satisfied, but pleasantly surprised

A fearless storyteller with an unshakable sense of self, Alana Springsteen has built her career on telling the truth, no matter how messy or hard-fought. Across high-concept projects like her three-part debut album TWENTY SOMETHING and her highly anticipated sophomore LP I HOPE THIS HELPS—a boldly autobiographical body of work due out May 29—the 25-year-old artist-songwriter has carved out a vital space for raw catharsis and unfiltered reflection. A multi-instrumentalist with an uncompromising vision, Springsteen plays guitar and piano throughout her albums and co-produces all her material, shaping each song with hands-on precision that underscores her identity as both author and architect. Rooted in country but unbound by its edges, she pulls freely from alt-pop and beyond, building a sonic world as expansive as it is emotionally exacting. Born and raised in Pungo, Virginia—a one-of-a-kind region where farmland meets beach—Springsteen's connection to music began in church, where she first found her voice as a child. By age seven, she was teaching herself guitar and writing her own songs; at ten, she began traveling to Nashville for co-writing sessions with industry heavyweights. After making her landmark debut with TWENTY SOMETHING—a 2023 release featuring her GOLD-certified smash "goodbye looks good on you (feat. Mitchell Tenpenny)"—Springsteen earned massive praise from outlets like NPR and PEOPLE. A powerhouse live performer who commands rooms of any size, she has headlined her own TWENTY SOMETHING TOUR; performed at major festivals like Stagecoach Festival; toured internationally across Europe, the U.K., and Australia; and supported superstars like Luke Bryan, LANY, Keith Urban, and NEEDTOBREATHE. With countless milestones to her name—including her Tiny Desk debut in 2024 and a No. 1 hit with "Hot Honey," a collaboration with multi-platinum DJ/producer Tiësto—Springsteen's momentum is undeniable.

Independent local night out.

Chicago! El Ten Eleven is coming to Martyrs' Saturday, October 3rd. Tall Tall Trees opens the night up. Grab your tickets! We like to believe our lives can be shaped into stories clean arcs, legible meaning but life refuses the outline. Instead, it moves bluntly and without apology, indifferent to our sense of order. Events pile up without resolution, momentum divorced from direction, motion confused for progress. Sometimes the only refuge left is the nowhere of our own minds. El Ten Eleven's Nowhere Faster, the duo's 16th release, was forged within that unease. Across eight tracks, it considers not just nothingness but velocity the strange urgency that propels us forward even when the destination remains unclear. We are committed to acceleration, convinced speed itself might save us. The 33 minute album slows just long enough to pose the harder questions: what are we running from, and what do we think we can out run? That tension appears even in the album's artwork, once again created with longtime collaborator Rob Fleming. It depicts a classic liminal space: familiar, anonymous, quietly unsettling. A stained glass colored building and a streetlamp blur at the edges, suggesting motion that feels less like escape than enclosure the kind that traps rather than transports. Nowhere Faster emerged from Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty's longest break from touring and recording in their 23 years together, though "break" is something of a misnomer. Dunn's famously restless creative pace never slowed. Instead, he began writing for not one but two drummers, handing Fogarty one of the most demanding challenges of his career. The record also marks a first for the band, weaving real strings and piano throughout, deepening the palette of what is already one of their most layered works. The album's titles and sounds draw from moments scattered across the band's 23 year history. Opener "Uncanny Valley Girl" marks the return of long retired effects like the delay pedal, stacking basslines into a dense, enveloping wall. It's a clear eyed take on AI era paranoia, anchored by Fogarty's steady rhythm snare taut, cymbals gently alive giving the sci-fi unease something solid to lean on. "Bjork's Alarm Clock," meanwhile, takes its title from an insult hurled at the band by a guitarist of a punk band on their first tour; you can almost hear Dunn and Fogarty's quiet laughter beneath the buoyant bass and bow scratched strings. Still, Nowhere Faster is not a retreat into nostalgia. El Ten Eleven remains invested in risk and reinvention. The record continues to center Fogarty's propulsive drumming and Dunn's bass driven experimentation: the first four tracks ("side A") feature electric bass, while the latter half ("side B") shifts to acoustic bass processed through pedals, subtly altering the album's emotional weight. "Last Night In The Kitchen" reaches for the slick, sleazy bombast of classic Bond themes, opening new corridors for Dunn's ever expanding musical ambitions. Album closer "So It Goes" draws inspiration from Dunn's reading of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, coinciding with his reckoning with aging, loss, and the deaths of friends. Built around one of his stranger sonic experiments a capo wrapped around a fretless acoustic bass the song unfurls into a twangy, americana inflected lament. It sounds like the quiet moments when reflection catches up to us, when we take inventory of the gnashes and scars left by the jaws of life.
