Artists
Ceremony
Ceremony are a full scale musical riot spawned from the rotting corpse of Northern California hardcore. Akin to a musical sledgehammer, they are sonically crude, violent, and undeniably destructive in their approach. A throwback to the early days of hardcore, when it was defined by pessimism, misery, and was a true haven for the downtrodden. In their few years of existence so far, Ceremony have become as popular as they are antisocial. Heralded by many worldwide as one of the best hardcore/punk bands to surface in the last decade.

Pissed Jeans
The sound of their music is a combination of sludgy bands from the early Eighties like Flipper and My War-era Black Flag and the noise assault of The Jesus Lizard.
Their discography includes Throbbing Organ 7” (Parts Unknown), Shallow LP/CD (Parts Unknown), Don’t Need Smoke to Make Myself Disappear 7” (Sub Pop), Hope For Men LP/CD (Sub Pop), and their August 2009 release King of Jeans (Sub Pop).
In an interview with Tony Rettman of Blastitude, Pissed Jeans’ singer described their sound and intent with the following: “The idea was to start a different kinda punk band focused on dead ended carnal cravings, sexual depression…that sort of thing. Mainly we just wanted to bludgeon the listener with dull, monotonous droning rock music that just sucks the energy out of you, the musical equivalent to watching a toilet flush.”

The Rival Mob
The Rival Mob bring a style of hardcore back to Boston, MA that has almost become a distant memory. Playing at breakneck speed, the sound is reminiscent of old DC/NY hardcore bands meshed with big riffs that will stick in your head.

Gods and Queens- SOLD OUT
Gods And Queens started in 2008 as what was supposed to be a solo project for guitarist Jamie Getz, Gods And Queens evolved into a fully functioning band. Recording and releasing an LP on Robotic Empire (US) & Adagio830 (Europe) before they played a single show, Gods And Queens made no bones about the influence and directions they wanted to go. The reference of mid 1990′s bands such as Lungfish, Unwound, June Of 44, Rodan, and Hoover have been a mainstay in the band’s catalog of music.
The core line up of guitarist/vocalist Jamie Getz and bassist Ben Roysdon has been riddled with various drummers and an unwillingness to let that slow them down. Completing 3 European tours and releasing 1 LP, and 2 EP’s Gods And Queens continue to evolve in their small path in the musical world.
