Decent Criminal - Bloom
Santa Rosa, CA’s Decent Criminal are one of the first signees to the recently formed Dodgeball Records along with the likes of Showoff and Attic Salt.
Surfer Blood - Covers
Following the release of their fourth album “Snowdonia”, Florida’s Surfer Blood are back with a covers EP.
The Eradicator - The Eradicator
Watching sketch comedy shows should come with a disclaimer. Take Chicago’s Andy Slania for example.
Spotlights - Seismic
Formed by two members of post-rock outfit Sleep Lady, this Brooklyn-based husband/wife duo seem to be in a hurry.
Emmer Effer - From The Bottom Down
Emmer Effer is a four-piece out of LA who like to keep their songs short and to the point.
Looming - Seed
If you’ve heard 2015’s “Nailbiter”, you are already familiar with Jessica Knight’s distinctive vocals. You either love them or hate them. There doesn’t seem to be much wiggle room.
Unsane - Sterilize
Five years after their last album and godknowshowmany years into the band’s existence, Unsane is back with “Sterilize”.
Len And Company
With his ever unshaven face and uncombed mop of hair, Rhys Ifans has the scruffy, washed up rocker look down pat. So it was about time he played one. Here he stars as Len, a former punkrocker turned successful music producer/complete asshole. After becoming disillusioned with the music business and running off during an awards show, he has holed up somewhere in the buttcrack of nowhere determined to take self-pity to a whole new level.
FEST 16: Banner Pilot
Banner Pilot aren't playing shows as often as they used to so when you get the chance to see them, you should. Like at Fest. Also, their most recent album came out three years ago.
FEST 16: Rebuilder
So one of the gazillion bands playing at Fest is Boston's Rebuilder. You know them. They recently released a really good EP called "Sounds From The Massachusetts Turnpike" via Panic State Records.
