Gored Embrace is a death metal band from Chicago formed in early 2020. With numerous influences across old school and brutal death metal (Suffocation, Pyrexia, Defeated Sanity, Skinless, Internal Bleeding, etc.), their music prioritizes raw aggression, groovy rhythms, and catchy riffs/hooks. Common lyrical themes include horror, gore, grim aspects of reality, and state of mind.

WET SPECIMENS are hardcore punk from albany, NY

"Though Wet Specimens is definitely a hardcore band, I also hear elements of post-punk and the ultra lo-fi recording lends the material a creeped-out vibe. "Our sound is the product of our different influences. Dan, Colin, and Dylan all grew up in the Albany area and listen to a lot of Japanese hardcore, D-beat, and UK82 bands. I came from California and have more of a background in American hardcore, death rock, and new wave music. We try to pull from our favorite parts of what we listen to and then just put it through blown out distortion and reverb. Nobody’s reinventing the wheel in 2018, we’re just trying to see how far we can make the wheel roll with a tire with no tread and a nail in it." Ramirez, C. ( 2018, September 20).

System Exclusive (or SysEx if you sassy) are a dynamic synth-punk duo originally from San Francisco, California, USA, weaving a wall of sound out of two people and limited resources: a guitar, drums, a stack of miniature keyboards, and Ari's towering yet vulnerable alto. Matt, well versed in the dark arts of MIDI, plays live drums along with his panoply of synth modules, creating driving new wavey soundscapes for Ari to slash post punk guitar and smear dramatic vocals upon.

The results have taken them all over the world, with 150 shows in 13 countries last year alone. They're touring the US for the first time in support of their sophomore LP, "Click", released on Mt St Mtn in the US (in conjunction with Le Cepe Records out of Paris) this past May. They've been overseas grinding the UK and EU tour circuits since the release, throwing comfort and good financial sense to the wind in their eternal quest for the perfectly bittersweet synth pop bop.

Riding high on Spotify royalty checks and grown strong off of a steady diet of cured meats and backstage hummus, they return to America for their second US tour of 2024, this time with their LP "Click" in hand. Tour tight, breaking a sweat for the boogie, throughout the West Coast, Southwest, South and Midwest - don't miss it

Ainsley Matic and the Broken Blues is a genre-bending original project, melding sounds of New Orleans blues, old school pop, classic country and good old fashioned rock and roll into something altogether new that audiences can’t get enough of. Ainsley draws in crowds with her powerful vocals inspired by Amy Winehouse, Koko Taylor, and Nina Simone, and is backed by a diverse band made up horns, keys, bass, and drums. The Broken Blues guide their listeners through the darkest blues, high energy love songs, heart-wrenching ballads, and funky epics, ensuring that even if you don’t know what’s coming next, you know it’s going to be worth taking a listen.

Although not a native of New Orleans, there was something about the sweet aroma of jasmine during a summer’s heavy heat, cloaking a city pulsing with music and food and life, that instantly drew in Ainsley’s spirit. Ainsley’s piano playing lit on fire when her classical and jazz chops fused with the improvisation and originality of New Orleans music. Soon, the Broken Blues were born, and Ainsley was blessed with the ensemble that is the truest representation of her sound. A strong and versatile rhythm section made up drums and upright bass are in constant conversation with Ainsley’s virtuosic improvisation. Trumpet, tenor sax, and trombone top off the band with a brazen sound that can be reigned in for introspection or let loose to shake the windows and tear the roof down.

The Broken Blues have been featured at many of New Orleans’ iconic venues, including Tipitina’s, Maison on Frenchmen, the Allways Lounge, Hi Ho Lounge, Carnaval, 30/90, Cafe Negril, Banks Street Bar, Gasa Gasa, and Carrollton Station. They have independently released two studio albums and are planning to release their latest EP in fall of 2022.

"Listen closely to the music of Ainsley Matich and the Broken Blues, and you’ll hear raw poetry along with Matich’s accomplished compositions."

- New Orleans Living Magazine

"[Ainsley's] passion started young and continues to grow in NOLA as the band plays local shows and builds their following

through original music described as 'rock ’n’ roll blues pop.'”
