THE CASKET KIDS: …began in 2010 by Christian Youngblood and later joined by Paul Dupont, Brennan Persing, and Johnny Decay. Christian wanted to create a band merging together horror, punk, rock n’ roll, and heavy metal to create a sound both dark and unlike most others in their local music scene. They have been compared often to Misfits, Mourning Noise, Pentagram, Ramones, Fear, Venom, and Black Flag.

Teena May began her music journey on a toy piano at age 4 by ear, then with classical piano lessons in her home town of Winchester, VA until age 13. At university she taught herself acoustic guitar and began songwriting but was convinced creating music was only a private hobby as she explored more stable, “lucrative” career opportunities.

In the fall of 2012, Brooklyn NY, Teena started songwriting in earnest. After wrestling with her identity as an artist for 10+ years, it all came together Spring of 2022 at a near empty open mic in New Orleans. She realized sharing song stories is not a choice - it's her calling, never again to be ignored.

Teena performs her extensive Country, Pop, Folk and Americana 200+ song catalogue all over the United States, Paris, France, Montreal and any place she is invited. She now performs either solo, as a duo with a harmonica player or as a full folk band with fiddle and upright bass.

E.T.D. (Eat the Decay) is a relentless grinding death metal band hailing from Texas, formed in 2022. Boasting a stellar lineup with members from Thy Feeble Saviour, HRA, Hypo-Christians, Dark Reign, Cemetarian, and Burn The Boats, they deliver a ferocious sound that commands attention.

CONOR DONOHUE is an indie rock musician who currently resides in New Orleans. His sound is a unique blend of dance-punk, electro-pop, and traditional Americana, featuring a mix of live instrumentation and electronic elements. Donohue's music is characterized by driving beats, catchy hooks, and intricate melodies, while his lyrics are often introspective and witty. 

WILL STEWART: As one of the brightest and most prolific new songwriters to emerge from the Birmingham music scene over the past few years, Will Stewart has made a name for himself as both an imaginative storyteller and six string gunslinger whose detailed accounts of life around the Deep South seem to capture the essence of not just the humid, kudzu-covered environs they come out of, but also the creative cultural milieu that makes such narratives possible in the first place. Taking cues from everyone from Big Star and R.E.M., to Phosphorescent and the Drive-By Truckers, and even classic Southern literary figures like Eudora Welty and Barry Hannah, Stewart has managed to carve out a place for himself as a conjurer of time, place and characters— and the stories that swirl around them— in a way that’s simultaneously reflective, empathetic and unapologetic in their presentation.

THE GLASS HOURS are American songwriters Megan Barbera and Brad Armstrong. Combining influences from Megan’s Colorado mountain roots and Brad’s Birmingham, AL southern roots, the Americana/Country Folk duo met in New York’s Hudson Valley in Summer 2022 and began writing and performing together immediately. They recorded their first album the following spring.

Rare Seed is a 5-piece NOLA-based modern rock outfit that takes as many notes from the early sonic recipe books of the psychedelic groups Thee Oh Sees, My Bloody Valentine, and Broadcast, as they do from the soaring avant-jazz-pop of Stereolab and Koji Kondo. With traces of prog, punk, garage rock and blues, Rare Seed adopts aspects and moods of everyday living and pumps them through a filter of melancholic whimsy to potent effect. Ethereal soundscapes, shifting times and tempos, pulsating rhythms, and melodic hooks are just some of what you can expect to hear in their brand of music.

TEAR DUNGEON doesn't really care what you think about them regarding genre, labels and begrudging music identities. Instead, they're often described by ill metaphors. The band's like a bloody body dragged across asphalt--thrash metal meets go fuck yourself, with simmering belligerence that embodies some of the best of the Austin music scene.

Known for their arguably vulgar live performances, incredibly wicked vocal delivery, and strong discography, TEAR DUNGEON simply is one of the great acts of Austin when it comes to "reckless endangerment." (https://www.euphonicmagazine.com/news/interview-tear-dungeon)

FAUSTIAN: Featuring members of Barghest and other South Louisiana stalwarts, newly formed trio Faustian create a unique style of blackened death metal that seamlessly shifts from razor sharp maelstrom to dirge like grime. The three piece meld violent urgency and claustrophobic atmosphere into a frenzied sonic catharsis.

WRITHINGS: In 2020, when the world shut down, three like minded Cajun men found themselves ready to power the tube amplifiers up. Restless and primed, they set about crafting a sound in honor of their inspirations, yet all their own. As the merciless, history-making pandemic bore down with full force, those men decided that they, too, would show no mercy…
