The quartet of Zack Borzone (vox), Jack Tobias (synth), Sam Pickard (drums), and Saguiv Rosenstock (guitar) display an innate ability to translate a primitive spirit into a modern form. Born during the lockdown as an experimental project between Borzone and Pickard in Philadelphia, the group expanded as the two moved to New York, adding Tobias for their debut self-titled EP, which was produced by Rosenstock, who was then integrated into the band. That first collection is one of self-discovery, of finding the tools necessary to make songs within the band’s own ecosystem. They honed in on their own world and their collaborative, close-knit writing process, discovering the essential structures and feelings that make YHWH Nailgun.

If CBGB, noise rock, and the garage revival had a 3 way, their unholy love child would be donned Piss with Style. With loud, funky and emotionally charged songs, their influences span decades of rock n’ roll royalty, all while poetically creating gritty personal narratives, and grappling with both existential dread and urban decay. The Twin Cities have helped resurrect Piss with Style to the fear and pleasure of everyone in the wake.

Weedeater was born the mid-'90s, in Wilmington, NC, originally taking shape as a side project of vocalist/bassist "Dixie" Dave Collins, who was otherwise engaged with sludge metal cult favorites at the time. However, upon that band's official demise in 1998, Collins was free to concentrate his efforts on Weedeater, which released two sludgecore albums to kick off the new millennium: 2001's And Justice for Y'All and 2002's Sixteen Tons, both produced by stoner specialist Billy Anderson. Collins later decided to tour briefly as bass player for and also found time to lend his four strings to Wilmington neighbors, , but continued to work with Weedeater guitarist Shep and drummer Keko, touring relentlessly over the years, with the likes of C.O.C. and . Busy as he was, Collins and co. finally got around to recording their third long-player, God Luck and Good Speed, which was release through Southern Lord in 2007. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

Nashville’s Howling Giant has nothing to prove. Music City’s preeminent heavy jamming psych-wizards formed more than a decade ago, and have been on an enviously productive upswing ever since. With four EPs, a split, and two full-length albums under their belts, not to mention a relentless touring ethos that finds them spreading the gospel of the riff far and wide, Howling Giant can transfix you with a gorgeous, harmony-laden vocal hook while hitting you square in the gut with the snaking, progressive groove you never saw coming. High Desert Queen has begun making "waves" on the live music scene with their high energy performance and their unique "Texas Desert Rock" sound. After releasing just one song and only a handful of live shows, the band was contacted by Blasko (A&R of Ripple Music, Bassist for Ozzy, Rob Zombie, Zakk Sabbath) and was quickly signed to Ripple Music. Their debut album titled "Secrets of the Black Moon" was released on Oct. 15th, 2021 to high acclaim. INSOMNIAC coalesce onto our plane like a third eye opening into the beyond. A bouncing ball on the rhythm of the universe. An aural guide past the edges of perception. The band took form in Atlanta, Georgia, like-minded explorers of sound and mind writing songs in the frequency of the earth. Featuring members of Deceased, Brass Knuckle Surfer, and The Buzzards of Fuzz, the outfit’s transcendent, mind-expanding psychedelic heaviness casts light on the magic and strange beauty, balanced between unconsciousness and dreams.

Nice Strong Arm, Self-Evident, Align

Nice Strong Arm is a product of the creative and welcoming counterculture of Austin, Texas, in the late 1980s. The band found its sound playing shows with local peer upstarts like Scratch Acid and opening for the underground heavyweights of the time such as Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, My Bloody Valentine, White Zombie, etc. The list is long. The band signed in 1986 to influential label Homestead Records after an improbable one-show tour to open for Volcano Suns and to strut their stuff for Gerard Cosloy. They then went on to record three critically acclaimed LPs and tour the US indie college circuit non-stop. Charting and growing fanbase notwithstanding, the band split in 1990. A re-kindled amity in 2026 finds the trio eager. The old game is afoot: "let's write songs and play some shows!" The band is touring the U.S. later in 2026; the paint-peeling live shows are back! N.S.A. are also recording a new record. Nice Strong Arm is: \- Jason Asnes: electric bass guitar & vocals (Ex-Swans, Alkaline, Saturnine, Crown Heights). In NYC, he became a successful club/event DJ recording and releasing tracks as DJ Angola. \- Jeffrey Kent Hoskins: drums, timbales (Ex-Flying Saucer, recording engineer and producer, cyclist). \- Kevin R Thomson: electric guitar and vocals (Ex-Touched By A Janitor, Timco, Morning Champ, Enablers, Technician).

talker has been running for a really long time. To what exactly? She can’t totally answer that herself. Runaway Jane, the second full-length album from the Los Angeles based songwriter Celeste Tauchar feels like a cinematic desert dream from the very start. Every song leaves you feeling like a phantom sucked into someone else's timeline. Following the unflinching honesty behind her 2024 debut, I'm Telling You The Truth, Celeste spends much of the running time wrestling with what comes after accountability. Written alongside longtime collaborators Matt Bernstein and JR Kurtz, mixed by Grammy-nominated producer Sarah Tudzin (illuminati hotties, boy genius), and masted by Brian Lucey, Runaway Jane touches on widescreen indie rock, dusty Americana, and moments of explosive alt-rock catharsis that feel as expansive as the Mojave Desert. After spending 2024-2025 touring with Wheatus, Kississippi, and more, talker is on tour across the U.S. throughout 2026 in support of Runaway Jane.
