SANGUISUGABOGG
Shat out of hell, indeed. That’s the sonic stench that permeates the epically unpronounceable, utterly indecipherable and altogether uncompromising sound of Ohio’s notorious gore-merchants, SANGUISUGABOGG. Homicidal Ecstasy, the ‘Bogg’s second Century Media platter of splatter isn’t merely a return to the “down-tuned drug death” that defined 2021’s Tortured Whole. It’s the fluid-streaked byproduct of a band that hit the road like crazed serial killers and never looked back as they plunged deeper into a celebration of Mortician-worshiping brutal death metal sounds and splatter classics like Dead-Alive. They also became a badass live and studio proposition in the process. SANGUISUGABOGG’s bloody rise (their name, in fact, is an anagram for ‘Bloody Toilet’) was as unexpected to the underground death metal sect as it was for the ‘Bogg.. After releasing Pornographic Seizures in 2019 on the cult Maggot Stomp label, the foursome quickly won fans for their blasts of sludgy, determined riffing, tongue-severed-from-cheek, gross-out humor and nods to hardcore and 90’s East Coast death metal. “The logo definitely helped,” smirks Devin. “It’s the Nike swoosh of death metal!” Hitting the road with the likes of Creping Death, Frozen Soul and Vomit Forth, SANGUISUGABOGG received a pile of plaudits including Brooklyn Vegan putting them on a Most Anticipated Albums list next to genre titans like Carcass. “We got mentioned on NPR shortly after we dropped the first track off our EP!” says Swank, still in disbelief. “SANGUISUGABOGG was literally something that came together out of thin air. The first time we got together, we wrote and recorded our first four songs. Something was in the air.” Homicidal Ecstasy isn’t merely a musical maturation for the gore-obsessed boys of the ‘Bogg. While Swank’s lyric writing sessions are still “fueled on coffee with a horror movie playing in the background”, this isn’t exclusively the gross-out show of SANGUISUGABOGG past. “It goes deeper this time, into the psycho-sexual, body-horror, why what some people see as perverse or fetishistic, can also be perfectly normal,” says Devin. “There’s even a song called ‘Mortal Admonishment’ where I talk about how I deal with death. I wanted to write a song about my grandmother and how I got the news about her cancer and how I internalized it. It’s standard in death metal to talk about death but who has talked about the grieving process? “It’s kind of an homage to real life,” says the frontman. “When shit hits the fan, no one’s really safe.” Reconstituted, regurgitated and reenergized, SANGUISUGABOGG walks among us. Let the Homicidal Ecstasy begin!
OZOMATLI – 30 REVOLUTIONS TOUR
Fishbone
Fishbone is a band. Fishbone is Red Hot. Starting in Junior High School as part of the bussing program transporting students to schools within or outside their local school districts as a means of rectifying racial segregation, Fishbone were breaking stereotypes. This essentially was the spark that started the bands creative and influential drive that would lay the foundation that other bands would follow for decades to follow. Born out of the punk rock scene of Los Angeles, CA, Fishbone came out as a force of songs and live energy leaving bands not wanting to follow them. A feeling that continues today. Signed to Columbia Records in 1984, Fishbone released 4 albums and 3 EPs and toured the world headlining shows, festivals and leaving people stunned and still one of the best shows ever seen. A constant statement that still is used today from fans to artists that shared the stage with them. After years of touring and rotating members, Fishbone in 2025is back to their most solid line up which includes original members, Angelo Moore (vocals/Saxophone), Chris Dowd (Keys/Vocals) rounding it out with John “JS” Williams (Trumpet/Vocals) drummer, Hassan Hurd, Aroyn Davis and the return of Trace “Spacey T” Singleton on guitar. With their last critically and fan acclaimed EP recorded produced by Fat Mike of NOFX that came out on Fat Wreck Chords in 2023, in 2024, Fishbone is getting ready to reclaim their live touring throne, leave the audience wanting more, thinking more, influencing younger bands, and paving the foundation and legacy they have been laying for decades. With their latest single “Racist Piece of Shit” coming out ahead of the 2024 Elections and creating much controversy and praise as Fishbone has done for Decades, they will be following up with their new album, “Stockholm Syndrome” coming in early 2025#FuckRacism
Damones
Samia
Each Samia VIP Experience Includes: • One (1) GA ticket to the show • Early access to venue + merch table • Intimate acoustic set and Q&A with Samia Bovine excision, a mysterious phenomenon involving the bloodless surgical removal of cattle organs, serves as the eerie inspiration for the opening track of Samia’s third album, aptly titled Bloodless. Her voice flows through the evocative lyrics with ease, weaving through the gentle strum of a lone acoustic guitar. The quiet intimacy builds into a storm of sound, culminating in Samia’s layered, ethereal harmonies that pierce with a haunting, macabre refrain: “And drained, drained bloodless.” These emptied cattle evoke a grotesque vessel she unwittingly nurtured in an attempt to embody something both untouchable and on display, overflowing with infinite projections and capable of driving an unrelenting pursuit of the unattainable. Through sharp images—Diet Dr. Pepper and Raymond Carver as parallel pursuits of minimalism, white underwear and leeches, a Degas dancer poised at the bannister—Samia examines a paradoxical existence where merit transforms into a calculated act of extraction (“I felt the pea, can I eat it?”). This is just one strand Samia weaves into the intricate tapestry of Bloodless. Her 2020 debut album, The Baby, marked a confessional coming-of-age —an intimate love letter to those sentiments that are most difficult to articulate. In her 2023 album Honey, Samia deepens this exploration of young adulthood, offering a more introspective take as she searches for clarity. These releases, including her 2021 EP Scout, alongside her magnetic live performances, have earned her widespread critical acclaim, over 150 million streams, and a devoted fan base who sing along passionately to every word at sold-out shows. She’s also won over new audiences opening for artists like Maggie Rogers, Lucy Dacus, and Courtney Barnett. “I’ve spent the past two decades unintentionally conflating an abstract idea of men with my understanding of God,” Samia explains. “The person I became in order to impress this imagined figure is inseparable from who I am today. With this album, I’ve tried to confront that head-on.” Bloodless explores her relationship with a fragmented, symbolic version of Men—a patchwork of expectations and imagined standards she tried to meet, which ultimately shaped her sense of self. “I suffer from decision paralysis,” she admits, “where I’ll mentally play out every possible choice and endure the consequences in my head. God and Men provide some aspect of relief here in that they will make choices for you. The great thing about God and my Figment Man is that I decide what either of them wants me to do. So, in this convoluted way, I still get to do what I want, while offloading the responsibility.” Recorded in North Carolina and Minneapolis, Bloodless is a richly layered album that shifts seamlessly from sparse folk to sweeping indie-pop epics. Across these thirteen songs, Samia grapples with the hollow form she once embodied—a vessel that gained value through its own absence, until playing dead became its own form of life. With Bloodless, she endeavors to disinter the self buried beneath these carefullyconstructed personas, ultimately reaching a place of acceptance for her whole, imperfect being.
Yoke Lore
Los Angeles based, and New York raised indie pop project Yoke Lore is the solo musical venture of Adrian Galvin, previously of Yellerkin and Walk the Moon. Yoke Lore layers like Bon Iver, beats like M83, and gets to the heart of things like Phoebe Bridgers does. Galvin’s songs combine echoing waves of banjo, vocals, and percussion to create arresting pop music with tactile candor and conviction. Galvin grew up in an artistic family, his mother a director and his father an actor and sculptor. He was immersed in painting, photography, and ballet from an early age, eventually finding his first musical passion in the drums. While pursuing music, his artistry in other disciplines has not faltered, even lending his own designs to all his music’s cover art, as well as choreographing & dancing for some of his music videos. Galvin tours non-stop, playing shows and festivals spanning North America and Europe. His music has amassed 450M+ streams and he has earned an RIAA Gold certification for his hit song “Beige”.

With a voice that sounds both ancestral and futuristic, Iniko creates music that transcends time, blending soul, trap, alternative, and celestial frequencies into a sound uniquely their own. Their gold-certified anthem “Jericho” catapulted them into global consciousness, laying the foundation for their debut project The Awakening which is a bold and unflinching journey through revolution, divinity, and rebirth. The project features songs like “The King’s Affirmation,” a viral proclamation of self-worth that became a mantra for millions, and “Yosemite,” a powerful declaration of Iniko’s role as a protector of the world and a voice for the meek and the damned. With the deluxe edition of The Awakening, Iniko reveals an even more audacious side, introducing tracks like “God Body”—a fiery trap-drill anthem where they boast about their god-like nature with a rawness and intensity that first captivated fans during their viral On The Radar performance. Whether singing, rapping, or channeling emotion through silence, Iniko’s artistry is deeply spiritual, deeply human, and deeply needed. They are the voice of a generation learning to embrace their truth, their power, and their higher calling. Iniko isn’t just an artist but they are a portal, a movement, and a reminder that we are all divine.
Tripping Daisy
Tripping Daisy emerged from Dallas, Texas in 1990, quickly establishing themselves as one of the most dynamic and innovative forces in the alternative and psychedelic rock scenes. With original members Tim DeLaughter on vocals and guitar, Mark Pirro on bass, Wes Berggren on guitar, and Bryan Wakeland on drums, the band carved out a distinctive sound that resonated with fans and critics alike. Their debut album, Bill (1992), made an immediate impact by selling over 20,000 copies locally and catching the attention of major labels. This early success paved the way for their breakthrough with I Am an Elastic Firecracker(1995). Featuring the hit single “I Got a Girl,” which went Gold in the U.S. and Platinum in Canada, the album firmly established Tripping Daisy’s reputation for delivering infectious, boundary-pushing music. The band continued to evolve with Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb (1998), an album that has since achieved cult status thanks to its experimental edge and innovative production. Their self-titled album, Tripping Daisy (2000), stands as a poignant capstone to their original run, marking the legacy of their groundbreaking work even in the wake of founding member Wes Berggren’s untimely passing. Over the years, Tripping Daisy’s music has not only captivated audiences in concert but has also made its mark on popular culture—featured in films such as The Craft, Basquiat, and Saturday Morning Cartoons, and on television through appearances on Beavis and Butt-Head and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Their energetic live performances and enduring stage presence have left a lasting impression across North America and beyond. Now, as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of I Am an Elastic Firecracker with an Anniversary Tour in 2025, Tripping Daisy continues to honor their storied past while forging a path toward the future with new recordings and fresh energy. Frontman Tim DeLaughter’s creative journey also extends into his work with The Polyphonic Spree—a project that has further underscored his innovative vision and contributed to memorable collaborations with music legends. Hailing from Dallas and proudly signed to Good Records, Tripping Daisy remains a vital and inspiring chapter in the history of alternative rock, continuously inviting new generations to experience the magic of their music.
