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!
Ouija Macc
Ouija Macc was born and raised in Las Vegas, where he found escape in art from an early age. In an uphill battle, art became a survival mechanism. While others looked up to superheroes, Ouija idolized Insane Clown Posse and Three 6 Mafia—an influence that helped shape the raw, unfiltered style he’s known for today. His debut release, TRASHFIRE (2017), was recorded across makeshift setups from New Jersey & Brooklyn to Pennsylvania. Gritty and lo-fi, it marked his emergence as a solo artist and led to his signing with Insane Clown Posse’s Psychopathic Records. From there, GUTTERWATER exploded onto Billboard, iTunes, and especially the Juggalo world-stage. Ouija’s story is steeped in survival—felony charges, addiction, and brushes with death. But through it all, he’s remained fearless and brutally honest in his music, painting a world of struggle, chaos, and resilience. His albums (DARCC PLANET, PSYCHO BABBEL, DIRTBAG,FALLEN ANGELIC, and more) reflect that duality: horrifying yet hilarious, aggressive yet uplifting, sad but undeniably alive. Whether he’s recording, touring, directing videos, or designing merch, Ouija brings his own mythos to every medium. With millions of streams and a devoted cult-like fanbase, Ouija Macc and Chapter 17 are seemingly unstoppable. The future is bright—but thankfully, the music is DARCC.

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

Riki is the Los Angeles based dark synth-pop outfit commandeered by the mysterious Niff Nawor, a visual artist and musician active in the deathrock / anarcho-punk scenes of the California bay area (formerly a member of Crimson Scarlet), before founding her solo endeavor as Riki in 2017.
PROFANATICA
PROFANATICA – black metal / death metal from NY One of the first wave of American black metal bands, PROFANATICA have purveyed primeval blasphemy on nigh for three decades. ‘Rotting Incarnation of God,’ their latest album and first with Season of Mist, vomits forth a most vulgar strain of black metal ejaculate. Led by founder Paul Ledney, the trio desecrate everything sacred with a ferocious stream of chainsaw guitars and relentless battery. PROFANATICA walk as kings in the murky depths of the black metal scene, and ‘Rotting Incarnation of God’ cements their well-deserved reputation as one of the genre’s most wicked creations. Some music was meant to stay underground.

Company Retreat
Company Retreat is an American punk rock band that combines profound philosophical lyrics with pounding rhythms, ripping riffs, soaring harmonies and vacation vibes. Their songs sound like Bad Religion and Hot Water Music made a baby that was raised on George Carlin and daiquiris. The members have been making music together for more than 20 years and performed all over the world. They debuted as Company Retreat in 2017, headlining the final show at Club Mustache – a beloved DIY venue in Kansas City they helped pioneer in 2008. Their inaugural 14-song album was met with excitement from every listener, earning them an immediate reputation as the band of choice among touring acts in need of support. Company Retreat has since released 2 EP’s and shared the stage with a plethora of icons including Dead Boys, Iron Chic, The Lillingtons, Smoking Popes and more. Their shows are always a party, attracting all ilks of people who lovingly coalesce in hedonism and humanitarianism. Activists and nihilists alike will find joy in their latest effort, a 12-song album titled Hidden Curriculum, released on September 26th, 2023. Hidden Curriculum is by far the band’s best work yet, and beneath a layer of irreverent sarcasm, it delivers a message of unity and positivity for all generations. https://companyretreat.bandcamp.com/ Tightwire (acoustic set) – pop punk / punk rock from Minneapolis, MN https://tightwirempls.bandcamp.com/ Blondo – pop punk from Omaha https://blondostreet.bandcamp.com The Shidiots – punk / rock from Omaha, NE https://theshidiots.bandcamp.com/ On Hiatus – pop punk / punk / alternative from Des Moines https://onhiatusband.bandcamp.com/
