Since then they’ve played with bands including Japanther, Cerebral Ballzy, NinjaSonik & many more . Ho99o9’s often politically incorrect & disturbing lyrics which often cover subjects of blasphemy, necrophilia, drug use & truth to the 999 revelation have accrued them a cult of like minded followers. Ho99o9 is currently finishing up their first full length record. Band Website Facebook Instagram Twitter N8NOFACE Everyone likes to romanticize the working class. It’s easy to fool yourself into thinking you understand a perspective because you saw it in a netflix doc or read something from a best selling “culture” critic. But what if you’re on the other side of that story, focused on survival, watching the world pay attention to all the wrong things, waking up each day fighting to get to the next. What if the sci-fi dystopian future happening this very minute, is your reality, and all you have is a guitar, cheap synthesizer, old computer and a tangled rusty voice? That’s the constant starting-line embraced by N8NOFACE. Originally from Tucson, N8NOFACE made his way to LA to double down on the visual, audio and live expression naturally running through his veins. While his influences range from Suicidal Tendencies to Stones Throw compilations of minimal wave music, his sound can be uniquely classified as the past, present and future heartbeat of the real LA. A dirty melding of 80s/90s nostalgic synthpunk combined with the amalgamation of chaos heard in grimy soundcloud rap tapes. N8NOFACE screams for those left behind, presenting the hard truth of police brutality, mental health, and the untold stories of the voiceless. His 1-2 minute minimalist distorted dark synth movements challenge every listener to accept what the real world sounds like, and dares the complacent to be shocked out of their musical safety net of never-ending sameness.

GALACTIC COWBOY ORCHESTRA Galactic Cowboy Orchestra has been bending genre boundaries since 2009 with a high-energy mix of prog-rock, jazz fusion, bluegrass and more. Built on adventurous compositions, odd time signatures, improvisation and serious musicianship, GCO’s music can move from intricate riffs and soaring electric violin to deep grooves and extended jams, sometimes within the same song. With seven albums, three DownBeat nominations, thousands of touring miles and collaborations with symphony orchestras behind them, the Minnesota-based quartet brings all that musical complexity to the stage without taking themselves too seriously. The result is an adventurous, energetic live show built around the interaction between four musicians and the audience in the room. For fans of Mahavishnu Orchestra, King Crimson, Dixie Dregs, Gentle Giant and Béla Fleck & the Flecktones.

There’s an ecstatic melancholy in Dent May’s music, bittersweet, exuberant songs that break your heart as you sing along. On The Big One, he ditches his solo bedroom process for spontaneous sessions at Honeymoon Suite with a rotating cast of friends. Blending DIY pop with ’70s songwriter warmth, May embraces improvisation, community, and cautious optimism, finding joy, connection, and possibility even as the world feels uncertain.

For Diles que no me maten, every note is a small step into the unknown. The five-piece Mexico City band have always operated on a first-thought, best-thought basis, drawing on a jam-based, krautrock philosophy to craft intricate constructions of wiry art rock spiked with bluesy balladry and poetic mysticism. While their fourth album Escrito en Agua (Writ in Water) is their most consciously crafted and accessible to date, their founding principle of slow, wide-eyed exploration is alive and well.

Recorded in a basement in 2010, Road Ends in Water was the first album by Reed Turchi, and showcases his signature slide-guitar and kudzu-boogie in its rawest, most North Mississippi-inspired form. With special guest Luther Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars playing through a blown-up tape-machine on three songs, the album ranges from uptempo rollicking blues-rock to heavy, fuzzed-out riffs. The inspiration of no-holds-barred dueling-slide-guitar, one-chord romp is clear, as Road Ends in Water offers up a series of originals and adaptations that all end up in a swamp of romp-and-groove. Originally released in 2012 in a pre-streaming world, the album has been lost for over a decade, and has been totally re-mixed and re-mastered for this new release, which showcases a basement boogie in its early glory.

MATT KOZIOL New Jersey native turned Nashville transplant, Matt Koziol has carved out a distinct lane at the intersection of country, Americana, and rock. His voice is the calling card: soulful, gritty, and built for both stadium stages and stripped down front porch moments. Koziol writes like he means it. His songwriting leans into the honest, sometimes bruised, always human side of life, paired with a stage presence that turns rooms of strangers into fans by the end of a set. Songs like “Old Fashioned” (feat. Isaac Gibson), “Here Again,” and “Follow Me Home” have racked up millions of streams and cemented him as one of the more compelling voices in roots driven music today. He’s earned his stripes on the road too, sharing stages with Whiskey Myers, 49 Winchester, and Charles Wesley Godwin, and building a reputation as an artist worth catching live, night after night, market after market. With a growing catalog and a fanbase that stretches globally, Matt Koziol is still writing the next chapter, one honest song at a time. Band Website Spotify Facebook Instagram NATALIE LYNCH Chicago’s own, Natalie Lynch, has a sound that ranges from Classic Country to Rock & Roll with undertones of Folk and Blues.

She can capture a room anywhere; from a Chicago dive, to a Mississippi juke joint or a New Orleans club, Natalie has the rare ability to bring raw power to any audience. You can catch her solo or with her band of misfits, The Hired Guns. Band Website Spotify Instagram

Called one of the most gifted singer-songwriters of his generation, by The New York TimesTeddys glorious tenor is bracing but warm and never showy. The Associated PressBuoyant, soulful BillboardBeloved London-born, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Teddy Thompson has returned with the exquisitely crafted Never Be The Same, his first collection of original material since 2020. Across ten tracks, Thompson refines his craft via an exploration of musics enduring preoccupations love, longing, and the uneasy passage of time.This album wasnt built upon a grand narrative. There was no self-imposed exile, no forced reinvention. Instead, it is centered around an exhortation that is threaded through the songs like a refrain: Never Be The Same, its title only revealing itself to Thompson after hed completed the recording.Its a phrase that, unconsciously, I used twice. And when I saw it on the page, I realized, this is the message of this album, says Thompson. Dont ever be the same. Change. Grow! Even when the sentiment is, woe is me, Ill never recover after that love or loss. The message is still, change. Dont get too comfortable. Everything is temporary, so evolve or perish!

Primitive Broadcast Service (PBS) is an experimental rock trio from Milwaukee with a reputation for noisy, politically-charged content and fun, high volume live shows.

Tracked at Electrical Audio in Chicago and Wreckage Industries in Milwaukee, 'Monsters' is a collection of "heavy, angular, dissonant pieces of music, written from the environment around them and routed through whatever field recordings happen to come within reach of a microphone" (IDIOTEQ.com). The working term for the PBS sound: urban skronk - a Midwest noise form of protest music. The recurring them of 'Monsters', throughout the dissonant hum, heavy drum and street noise: Love Still Exists. The current lineup is J.D. Morgan (guitar, vocals), Andy Steffenhagen (bass), and Bryan Dorn (drums). RIYL - Unsane, Shellac, Unwound, Sonic Youth. Introspective and literary, Dwells fills the space left behind where doubt has spent the long, dark night gorging itself on your deepest fears. Lurking and settling in, at least it's warm now. Claw Toe is a Chicago-based post-punk and garage rock band.

**Mark Solotroff’s** music and artwork explore urban landscapes, navigation through city environments, and human connection in an age of digital fragmentation. Alongside diverse collaborations with acts like Wrekmeister Harmonies, The Body, Indian, Consumer Electronics, and Brutal Truth, Solotroff is celebrating the release of *A Diagnosis of Distance*, a bass-heavy solo analog synth record which serves as an unsettling, immersive soundtrack for navigating emotional territories and metropolitan terrain. **Mortido** is the morose death ambient project from Chicago artist Omar Gonzalez (Civil Siege, Machismo, No Dreams, Rectal Hygienics, etc.). Recorded between 2022 and 2023, Mortido’s self-titled debut album synthesizes dark ambient isolation and heavy industrial soundscapes into immersive, cinematic textures. **Exhumed Corpse** is bleak/dark industrial sound constructed from minimal bass synths, audio test lab equipment, and tapes. Uncomfortably slow and low bass frequencies wave in and out of the audible spectrum alongside distant rhythmic metal clangs, bangs, and steam hisses. Rumors of power amps and subwoofers catching fire are true. For fans of NOTHING. **Black Triangle Badge** draws from audio sources both mutated and direct. His sonic palette is as unpredictable and eclectic as the nighttime city streets themselves, crafting soundtracks of unease that reflect a world increasingly plagued by fascism, ignorance, and toxic hate.
