St. Louis, MO's Modern Angst has a compelling story that reflects both personal and societal struggles. Formed in 2021 by Jared White, the band’s roots are deeply entwined with his need to process and express the tumultuous emotions brought on by the COVID pandemic and the broader social issues of modern America.

Toronto hardcore up-and-comer, DoFlame, recently joined the Blue Grape Music roster and today he's announcing his sophomore album, BENT, due out October 11th. Masterminded by 21-year-old punk, Mateo Naranjo, DoFlame is like the hardcore version of a coming-of-age movie, capturing all of the joy, confusion, and determination of being young and unsure of what’s next, just as effectively as it blends the unbridled aggression of heavy music with the swagger of hip hop.
