death pose (Chicago USA):

“death pose are a brand new heavy-as-shit band from Chicago, IL. Originally known as big bird., the band formed in 2022 from the ashes of numerous punk/hardcore/indie bands including Typesetter, Little Teeth, The Sky We Scrape, etc. After quickly releasing a three-song EP, they supported heavy hitters like Local H, The Casket Lottery, Cherubs, Rid of Me, Kowloon Walled City, along with appearances at Gainesville’s legendary FEST in 2022 and 2023.

On their full-length debut, Midnight Society, death pose tear through 13 incendiary tracks of down-tuned punk/post-hardcore influenced noise rock replete with indelible hooks, sharp angular riffage, and a rhythm section that resonates with urgency.

FFO: Every Time I Die, Poison The Well, The Bled, Propagandhi, KEN Mode, Helmet, Helms Alee, Botch”

FeverSleep (Portland USA):

“With the perfect mix of melody, aggression, and energy, Portland, Oregon’s FeverSleep land somewhere between the worlds of punk and grunge–if genres are your thing. But, this is no rehash of a bygone era. These well-seasoned musicians pull from a diverse array of influences to create something fresh but just familiar enough to feel like you’re welcoming an old friend.

Consisting of former members of Young Livers, Dikembe, and Lock and Key, FeverSleep’s debut self-titled EP is characterized by its ferocious thrum of overdriven bass, prowling riffs, and soaring melodies rounded out with a touch of melancholy. Imagine a more melodic Helmet or a more aggressive Sonic Youth, buoyed throughout by a driving wall of noise and haunting choruses reminiscent of Dinosaur Jr. and Constantines. Finally, they throw in some DC-influenced energy and vigor for good measure.”
