The New Pornographers
Over the past 20+ years, The New Pornographers have proven themselves one of the most excellent bands in indie rock. They have released nine studio albums, including their classic debut Mass Romantic and their latest 2023’s Continue as a Guest. The band’s new album The Former Site Of will be out via Merge Records on 3/27/26 and new single “Votive” is out now.They’ve constantly offered new sonic surprises with every album, and have established themselves alongside modern luminaries like Yo La Tengo and Superchunk when it comes to their ability to evolve while still retaining what made them so special in the first place. Of the 2023 record, New York Magazine lauded, “The New Pornographers are a massive unit bursting with unique and intersecting talents…the band’s ninth album serves another helping of their signature dish.”Critical acclaim for The New Pornographers:“Over the course of their 20-plus-year career, the New Pornographers have often specialized in catchy ambiguity. If leader Carl Newman was just a machine cranking out power-pop tunes, it would get boring. But there’s also a lot of mixed emotions going on under the surface of their studiously nuanced pop-rock formalism—like if Cheap Trick was as quick-witted as Steely Dan, or the Romantics were as thoughtful as R.E.M.”- Rolling Stone“Pure, blissfully irresistible power pop”- NPR Music“[The New Pornographers] make catchy, sophisticated alternate-universe hits.”- Stereogum

PEELINGFLESH
PeelingFlesh is a slamming gangster groove metal band from Oklahoma. Missing Link is a ferocious hardcore/metallic hardcore band from New York, formed during the COVID-19 lockdowns by seasoned members of the Northeastern underground scene. Known for their crushing riffs, relentless breakdowns, and raw, pit-ready energy, they broke through with early EPs like My Time on the Cross (2020) and No Saving Grace (2022) before signing to Triple B Records and releasing their debut full-length album, Watch Me Bleed (2024). Blending classic NYHC intensity with metallic edge and lived-in lyrics drawn from personal experience and scene observation, Missing Link’s sound and live presence have quickly made them a standout force in modern hardcore. Bayway is a hard-hitting hardcore band from Elizabeth, New Jersey, formed in late 2022. Known for their raw, unapologetic sound, they channel the gritty spirit of New Jersey Hardcore with influences from 90s legends like E-Town Concrete, Fury of Five, and NJ Bloodline. Fronted by vocalist Jayway, alongside Chris Halpin (guitar), Tito Valentin (guitar), Dave Mericle (drums), and Diego Galarraga on bass, Bayway blends pummeling riffs, hip-hop vocals, and streetwise lyrics that reflect the struggles and resilience of their roots. Since their debut demo World of Bayway with RTF Records, they’ve unleashed a relentless stream of releases, including The Newport Sessions and Bayway Takes Manhattan, both on DAZE and RTF Records, cementing their reputation as a rising force in the hardcore scene with a no-frills attitude and explosive live energy. Now the first band signed to Trustkill Records since 2008, the band has a new album set to drop summer of 2025 that promises to be a banger because Bayway has The Recipe.
