Ty Walker & The Humanoids

Ty Walker & The Humanoids is a group of heavy-hitter artists that bring what is often described as an ‘otherworldly’ performance to the stage. A space cowboy frontman leading a group of extraterrestrials are on a strange, musical journey. Their live sound combines elements of galactic country, gospel, soul and psychedelia accompanied by synthesizers, drum machines and hand-triggered samples, creating a strange yet beautiful sonic experience. While an emerging act, they have successfully headlined a tour earlier in 2024 to full (some sold out), enthusiastic rooms in legendary venues like Tractor Tavern (Seattle) and Bottom of the Hill (SF).   Izaak Opatz Hailing from Montana, Izaak Opatz is a well-traveled, well-loved troubadour. His performance promises a captivating blend of country, folk, humor and heartbreak, straddling the line between unconventional and traditional. Izaak has a significant cult following all across the states and Europe.

Jay Webb

Holding nothing back, Alabama native Jay Webb brings an unfiltered approach to country music with his unapologetic attitude and lyrics that ring true to his fans. Jay has been widely touted as an artist to watch in 2025, with momentum rolling from singles like DOWN HERE, BURY ME WITH BOURBON, BROKEN, & many more. He will hit the road again this year after his first headline tour exceeded all expectations and gave fans a glimpse of where Jay came from, what he’s been through, and what it feels like to have the time of their life. Jay Webb has us all on the edge of our seats, waiting to see what’s coming next. His fanbase continues to grow by thousands every single day, and there is no doubt that Jay Webb will be around for a very long time.

Pons

Pons is a constantly changing/growing experimental project started by Sam Cameron and Jack Parker in North Carolina directly after we graduated high school in 2018. After releasing a couple of demos, playing some shows as a two piece, and relocating to Burlington, Vermont, we added our percussion player Sebastien Carnot to the live lineup in 2019. Our recorded music and live set are extremely different from each other in terms of arrangement and presentation of the songs, but most people describe our music as being no wave/noise rock adjacent. There are also a lot of influences from glam rock, tribal/percussion music, and psychedelic music as well. Pons is all about fighting expectations and striving for constant evolution. Trying to be on the road as much as possible is also definitely part of our M.O.

Ice Nine Kills: Pick Your Poison

Ice Nine Kills craft anthems full of passion and precision. The band’s theatrical bombast created a community of self-described “Psychos” and launched the type of pop culture lore celebrated in their songs. They make timeless and timely music, mixing metalcore, melody, and punk with power.   Hard-rock-meets-horror tracks like “Hip to be Scared,” “Funeral Derangements,” “A Grave Mistake,” and “The American Nightmare” demonstrate their unapologetic fascination with fright and cult classic curiosities, unleashed with inescapable melodic hooks, heavy riffs, and clever twists of phrase.   Led by Spencer Charnas, Ice Nine Kills spread cavalier carnage with a knowing smile. Their densely catchy songs on their breakthrough albums, The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood, propelled them to death-defying new heights. In 2022, they toured with Slipknot. Metallica handpicked Ice Nine Kills to join them on their M72 World Tour in 2023, 2024, and 2025.   The horror community Spencer grew up loving has embraced his band in return. INK’s “A Work of Art” (featuring System Of A Down’s Shavo Odadjian) plays in 2024’s Terrifier 3, a No. 1 box office smash that became the highest-grossing unrated film ever. The mischievously gory music video features Art the Clown himself – actor David Howard Thornton – and Terrifier franchise stars Catherine Corcoran and Leah Voysey, alongside Shavo and SiriusXM radio host Jose Mangin.   Long before he graced the covers of Rock Sound, Metal Hammer, Revolver, and Outburn, Charnas began his career at a battle of the bands while still in high school. Known simply as “Ice Nine” from 2000 to 2006, Spencer persevered through lineup and stylistic changes as a teenager and young adult.   The No. 1 Billboard Hard Rock Album The Silver Scream (2018) mercilessly chopped down the doors, announcing Ice Nine Kills’ arrival as an unrivaled force of unnatural nature. Helpless teens, unhelpful authorities, supernatural forces, masked killers, and “final girls” abounded. Each piece focused on a different horror classic, paying loving homage to Freddy, Jason, Michael, Pennywise, and more.   Naturally, there’s always a sequel. The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood imagined a world where Charnas is the chief suspect in his fiancé’s murder. His musical and visual work with Ice Nine Kills is the primary evidence. The album expanded the lore of The Silence, a new slasher for the ages. Loudwire hails Ice Nine Kills as “one of the most unique acts in metal right now.” Visionary trailblazers and multimedia raconteurs, INK hosts a thrilling world for a growing legion of devoted true believers with immersive shows, captivating videos, and an inventive band- and-fan community.   Ice Nine Kills blurs the boundaries between truth and fiction, skewering Hollywood in the process, stabbing with a satire to rival Patrick Bateman. As the song “Welcome to Horrorwood” declares: “Stardom’s just an afterthought for all those stabbed in the backlot, piled up and left to rot.”   “So, how’s this for an establishing shot?”

Paisley Fields

Paisley Fields is touring in support of his most recent release Limp Wrist (Don Giovanni records) which is an exploration of where rural queerness intersects religion. Paisley’s family were devout Catholics, and he served as the official church pianist in his parish throughout his teens, playing every Sunday. Paisley’s music is a celebration of his queer identity and rural roots, with influences drawn from his experiences growing up in Iowa. This connection through music has not only resonated with listeners but has also earned accolades, such as his track “Burn This Statehouse Down,” which was highlighted by NPR music critic Ann Powers as one of her favorite songs of 2023. http://www.thepaisleyfields.com https://www.instagram.com/paisleyjamesfields/ https://www.facebook.com/ThePaisleyFields/   Jeremy Mercy & the Rapture Orphans Americana / roots / country / soul from Omaha https://www.facebook.com/MercyRapture/ https://jeremymercy.com/ https://jeremymercy.bandcamp.com/   Benjamin Charles Freeman (aka Tumbleweed) country / outlaw country / experimental from Omaha https://www.facebook.com/BenjaminCharlesFreeman https://benjamincharlesfreeman.bandcamp.com/
