WHIRR / NOTHING
Whirr is a punk band from Modesto, CA. x NOTHING began in Philadelphia simply as ‘bedroom therapy’ for Domenic Palermo in 2010 after a turbulent decade filled with drugs, violence, and prison. With a love for tragedy in both storytelling and song he decided where he would put his effort and began to record. Over the next 12 years Palermo would enlist an ever changing cast of members and collaborators that would slowly help mold NOTHING’s signaturesound which has been described as American post-shoegaze under duress. With an orchestral like sectionof perfectly layered swirling lush guitar soundscapes, driving rhythm and cinematic movements, and all uncomfortably tied together with self-loathing misanthropic tales of isolation and human behavior in the face of the world’s vast wasteland, NOTHING would be born across their four critically acclaimed full length albums, Guilty Of Everything (2014), Tired Of Tomorrow (2016), Dance On The Blacktop (2018), and The Great Dismal (2020).
WAVVES • Beach Goons • Chokecherry
Wavves recently made a long-awaited return with their first new music since 2021, news of a newly launched Cannabis brand Wavvy Supply Co., and a Los Angeles County wildfire benefit show at Zebulon earlier in the month.Now the band returns to announce their new album Spun, extensive North American tour dates, and share new single “Goner.” The Travis-Barker produced song arrives alongside a Brandon Dermer-directed music video filmed at Wavves’ recent Zebulon charity show. Dermer has previously directed Wavves’ 2013 video for “That’s On Me” and has directed videos for Blink-182 amongst others. Speaking about how the track came together with Travis, Williams shares: “I had this song I had been sitting on, always revisited it and tried to record it a bunch of times but it was never just right. Eventually it was giving me PTSD. I was talking to Travis about doing some songs together and when I opened up the vault to him, this one jumped out so we laid it down and finally we got it right.”
ZERUEL • Indigo League
Zeruel (Baltimore) – Zeruel is a music project/band based in Baltimore, Maryland, known for a “dark-gaze/ambient metal” style, blending elements of modern metalcore, shoegaze, and classical music.
FLOODING • Roach Noises
Flooding is a gut feeling. Fronted by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Rose Brown, Flooding is a 3-piece band that explores genres like slowcore, noise rock, post-hardcore, and post-punk. Brown is supported by bassist Cole Billings and drummer Zach Cunningham, who share the songwriting goal of curating abstract elements of different music styles to create a distinct composition with each album and song, rather than fitting into a particular genre. Flooding is interested in what music can allow us to feel and things it can force us to confront. Softness and harshness coexist in everything – and there’s freedom in allowing ourselves to be both at the same time.

MSPAINT • YEAR OF THE VULTURE
MSPAINT formed in Hattiesburg’s close-knit DIY music scene and are very much the sum of their parts. Made up of Randy Riley on bass, Nick Panella on synths, Quinn Mackey on drums, and mononymous vocalist Deedee, the pointedly guitarless band pull from each member’s individual tastes to make songs that grab you by the head and don’t let go. “We’re sort of equal parts uncompromising and collaborative,” Deedee explains. “Everyone’s musical aspirations are on each track in different ways. When we started, we knew there was something about it where there was no template, but we really believed in the songs and knew we needed to push it.”
