NEW BAND ANNOUNCEMENT: HOWLING GIANT

HOWLING GIANT take another huge step on their third full-length “Crucible & Ruin”, a collection of sparking ideas, captivating melodies, and heavy riffing close to perfection - quite a feat of on-point songwriting for such a still young band! This is the band’s first album to feature new fourth member Adrian Lee Zambrano. Although the guitarist and synth player arrived somewhat toward the end of the writing process, he was still able to add his mark with cool textures on the record. The extra guitar certainly adds even more punch to HOWLING GIANT ‘s sound, which delivers a slightly more aggressive approach compared with predecessor “Glass Future” (2023). They even leaned into some raw band live takes to capture the emotion in the room. HOWLING GIANT hail from Nashville, Tennessee, USA, sidestepping the self-proclaimed Music City’s assembly line of modern pop country while taking inspiration from the brilliant songwriters and virtuoso session players that keep the town’s musical legacy burning bright. Fertile ground for a preeminent fuzz-psych power trio, now turned quartet, who consciously live in the pocket of that lineage! HOWLING GIANT storm forward once more in defiant refusal to remain still. Having grown into a four-piece as well as in their prowess as musicians and songwriters, “Crucible & Ruin” is an album at least as big as their name. Don’t take our word for it, just give it a spin – or two or three...

NEW BAND ANNOUNCEMENT: FISTER

Fister is a St. Louis based three piece band formed in 2009, delivering a slow and oppressive strain of sludge drenched doom built on raw power rather than embellishment. The band’s sound centers on punishing riffs, a deep low end, harsh vocals, and a measured sense of structure and melody.

Since forming, Fister has released more than 20 recordings, including six full length albums, while maintaining the same lineup throughout its existence. That consistency has shaped a focused and controlled approach that favors cohesion and endurance over reinvention.

The lineup gets better by the day! Be sure to get your tickets now!
