                                <description><![CDATA[Sex Mex is the alias of Clark Gray, a lanky and wiry dude who makes music, because it's the only thing you can do where being a dorky weirdo is acceptable. While currently residing in San Antonio, Clark was born in the Midwest, something he attributes his ingenuity and "no fucks given" attitude to. In concept, Sex Mex is punk music from a dystopian future, but as time goes on it becomes less of a concept and more "it is what it is." He is equal parts songwriter, musician, and audio engineer. He is also simultaneously hated by all three of those people. That's because Sex Mex is music for people, not nerds who play guitar... &#160; Doomzday Slutz -&#160;Drug rock for slutz that fuck as hard as they hate. &#160; Watermelon -&#160;Super sour punk from Chicago.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[It is the year 2050, and genre is dead. What remains is a wretched chimera of jazz fusion, theatrical rock, art pop, and unadulterated absurdity they call A Casual Divorce. Almost thirty years ago, this quartet from the now-unlivable Arizona desert brought their gloriously unnerving vocal harmonies and face-melting lack of guitars to an unprepared world. They&#8217;re as pretentious as that one guy from your local coffee shop and as musically inconsiderate as the jam band your burnout cousin forces you to listen to every time he bums a ride. So enjoy your precious music while you can. &#160; Chrome Rhino&#8217;s style of rock n&#8217; roll will dazzle your senses while stomping you into the dust like you are on fire - this adventurous and energetic Phoenix AZ quartet embody the escapism we&#8217;re all looking for. Their tunes combine the kaleidoscopic twists and turns of Electric Light Orchestra, the screaming guitars and lush vocal harmonies of Queen, and the playful wildness of Alice Cooper and Tenacious D. With their exciting live shows and innovative music videos, Chrome Rhino brings dextrous musicianship, eclectic songwriting that&#8217;s whimsical yet deep, and a generous helping of nostalgia. &#160; JJ Smith is probably letting out a heavy sigh somewhere. He writes music for people that suffer from yearning, heartbreak, and general angst. More commonly known as; Rock, Folk &#38; Alternative. Side Note: He hosts a free winter music festival called Unsigned in Ravenswood. Because he believes you shouldn&#8217;t have to pay $300 dollars to stand 500 ft away from your favorite band. &#160; &#160; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Elemantra is a Buffalo, NY-based rock band that blends the hazy textures of shoegaze with the heartfelt sincerity of 90&#8217;s emo &#38; indie rock. The quartet layers lush, reverb-soaked walls of guitars over raw and unfiltered introspective lyrics. Their sound&#8212;equal parts dense and delicate&#8212;channels the spirit of bands like DIIV, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Ovlov to carve out a unique sound where vulnerability meets volume. &#160; Hailing from the heart of Chicago, Illinois, Cartoon Graveyard delivers an electrifying blend of raw energy and dynamic soundscapes, unapologetically blurring the lines between grunge, indie rock, and punk. Known for their hard-hitting live shows and an ever-evolving sound, the trio channels both chaos and catharsis into every note they play.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Spider Baby is an original alternative rock band started in 2023 by lead singer Gabriela, and joined by Leon on the bass, and Jay on the drums in mid 2025. They combined bringing elements of modern, meets classic rock with a twist of punk jabbed into your lower back. Spider Baby is currently in studio recording their first EP, with a release coming summer 2026. &#160; Tarantula Threat Pose is the brain child of four freaks making music you could only get when none of the members have the same music taste. Drawing inspiration from punk, nu-metal, shoegaze, and hardcore, we create a sound that only a tarantula could truly understand. Tarantula Threat Pose brings the energy that will have everyone with their arms up and their fangs out by the end of the show. &#160; Bugoff we plays punkish music. &#160; &#160; &#160;]]></description>

Wrapped in marveled alien skin, $taxx is a Chicago-born recording artist blending cosmic imagination with raw urban energy to create a futuristic, genre-bending sound. From Englewood to the cosmos, she is building a movement for outsiders, dreamers, and aliens who were never meant to fit in&#8230; only to take off. &#160; Yucki Gross is a self-produced artist who blends genres and mixing a lot of melodic rap with shoegaze and ambient textures. Yucki has fun when he makes my music in his home studio and that's captured in his live performances. &#160; Chicago based artist&#160;Moon Destroyer&#160;aims to be out of this world and up with the stars.

                                <description><![CDATA[Merging their backgrounds in hiphop and punk, Mike Bandanna became to be known as the rapper with a band with a sound unlike many before them. Forged in the fires of the underground house shows, the band grew to add members Casey Powell, masterclass guitarist, and Dj $weetboy, the eclectic disc jockey.   Mike Bandanna grew to be a shining name in the local scene and on to headline two successful indie tours. With a style blend from dark, choatic rage, to drug fueled croons and ballads, and lyrics venturing through introspective thought and aspirational gusto, songwriter Mike Bandanna delivers a sound that challenges its very own identity while still remaining true to it&#8217;s roots. &#160; Shravan Raghuram of When the Wall Breaks Down // spontaneous, shapeshifting, ever-evolving improvised music from Chicago. &#160; Chicago's THE FEAT - Craig Woods (Towers, Peter and Craig), Justin Wexler (Stillwell, Engines), and Matt Vicars (Ghost Towns, Sore History) - have created a sound that exists somewhere within their shared collective experience of independent and punk music.&#160; &#160; From playing in bands to standing solo, slugscape brings a soundscape of industrial hitters and trip hop ballads. &#160; Morbid Circle is a dark electronic artist that blends punk, EBM, and darkwave into a unique sound of catchy melodies and powerful vocals. Performances end up being an in your face mosh dance that helps strengthen the connection between artist and audience &#160; Hungu is a Chicago-based DJ and producer playing the full spectrum of house from basement classics to modern bangers and everything in between.

                                <description><![CDATA[Specializing in catchy hooks, heavy guitars, and disarmingly direct lyricism, Teens in Trouble is the bright-blazing indie-punk project of Asian-American singer, guitarist, and songwriter Lizzie Killian. Blending the melodic confessional snap of Weezer with the Pixies&#8217; loud-quiet punch, the band makes anthemic, emotionally driven indie rock built for shouting along to big choruses. Killian&#8217;s writing cuts straight to the point: vulnerable, sharp, and delivered with a cathartic vocal power that&#8217;s distinctly hers. &#160; The Dreaded Laramie delivers high-energy hooks and first-rate musicality, with trademark guitarmonies that scratch a very specific itch. Their intersection of glam-rock and power-pop kind of feels like lighting a &#8216;90s coming-of-age official motion picture soundtrack on fire. Or like, if Randy Rhoads went through a really big Weezer phase.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Slow Slow Loris is a duo whose industrial noise melodies merge with visceral avant-garde to create epic and delicate storms of sound that worship the unknown, a sonic sorcery through voice and electronics. Based in both Berlin and the US, they have released albums on Cloister Recordings, Zaetraom, &#38; Staaltape and have toured&#160; Europe, Russia, and the USA. &#160; Daniel Burke (Illusion of safety) is Soundoferror focused on making music exclusively with synthesis of every kind. Hardware, software, modular, &#38; keys. Any form is fair game, though the forms usually tend toward the abstract and experimental. &#160; Heavy Pauses is a St. Louis experimental ensemble featuring Chris Boron, Mike Broy, Chris Smentkowski, and Rick Wilson, described as &#8220;dense synth transportation rituals&#8221; that blend heavy drones and improvisation into sonically immersive trance states. Featuring members of The Conformists, Brain Transplant, and SkarekrauRadio, the group pushes sound into intense, exploratory territory. &#160; DEATH PYRE is the combination of the St. Louis, MO/Chicago, IL avant goth duo AMPYRE and the Chicago, IL post-industrial/noise unit DEATH FACTORY. They have a trilogy of albums that were recorded in one day at Chicago's Experimental Sound Studio available on labels No Sides Records, Eh? Tapes and Bent Window Records. &#160; ANIMAL TALKING SCHOOL is the solo electronic music project of Richard Syska (SECRET MEANS OF ESCAPE, 312 Films). ATS's music weaves a sonic tapestry of carefully curated sound sources, field recordings and manipulations which strive to challenge the listener both compositionally and sonically. The music immerses audiences in an evocative sonic landscape that can be at various times mysterious, foreboding, aggressive and alien, while at other moments comforting, familiar and relaxed.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Oklahoma City continues to rise with a new wave of independent bands, and Honor Choir are at the forefront. Not only are they doing something different for OKC, they&#8217;re doing something different within today&#8217;s DIY music. While Blink-182 can be a common influence, Honor Choir push their anthemic pop-punk foundation further, pulling from early-2000s emo and post-hardcore touchstones like Hey Mercedes, New End Original and Rival Schools, alongside &#8217;80s new-wave influences such as New Order and When in Rome.That range can be heard clearly on &#8220;Satellite Receiver&#8221; which moves from an abrasive guitar riff into acoustic guitar and piano, and the five-minute closer &#8220;Envelope&#8221; feels like it could sit comfortably on New Order&#8217;s Republic. Honor Choir has mastered combining their range of influences into something incredibly cohesive, and manages to fit a chorus into each song that gets stuck in your head. &#160; Hell of a Life is dark, heavy shoegaze from Chicago. &#160; Without any set in stone sound, Hoverboard explore the sonic landscape of whatever path they end up following. They don't fully belong to any certain genre, but have self proclaimed their sound as "aggressively dreamy." They've grown a reputation for energetic and deafening live shows; and to date have organized a handful of tours that have seen them play all across America. With no shortage of material, Hoverboard are a tour de force.]]></description>

Through strength and weakness, there&#8217;s a carry on of hope and determination that follows suit in the world of Eric Solitude. An observer of everything he lives and sees. An embodiment of what worlds colliding creates.You can hear the conviction of somebody resilient. You can feel identity finding its placement yet, questioning what feels like could be set in stone. Eric Solitude pushes into the discomfort of the unknown, while tracing the steps he&#8217;s memorized for safety. &#160; Mahal Slick shows have a welcoming and high energy feeling/sound. With music ranging from boombap hiphop, pop rap, and indie singing, we bring a chill vibe that the crowd can enjoy. &#160;]]></description>
