THE RIGHTOUS HILLBILLIES
Brent James (vocals & rythyhm guitar), Kev Wright (vocals & lead guitar), Johnny Gadeikis (bass guitar) and Barret Harvey (drums and percussion), are four talented, unique, and powerful individuals coalesce to create The Righteous Hillbillies. The Righteous Hillbillies are an axe shredding, ace dealing, foot stompin’, Southern rock, high-powered Ameicana, boogie blues band that plays with talent and passion. They have built a strong, supportive, and loyal following throughout their hometown of Joliet, Illinois and into the Chicago area. The Righteous Hillbillies baptize their work in the blood of Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC, ZZ Top, and the Black Crowes while still managing to create an original and independent style. With their dynamic and fiery new album, Trece Diablos, The Righteous Hillbillies are prepared to raise the stakes from entertainment to that old time rock ‘n’ roll religion. If it doesn’t get you dancing, moving, and singing, you might as well sign your “do not resuscitate” order at the nearest opportunity.

THE OCEAN
Right off the back of a 6 months world tour, the Berlin-based atmospheric post metal juggernaut The Ocean (Collective) returns with the follow-up to their critically acclaimed Phanerozoic double album. Holocene sees The Ocean add a closing chapter to their palaeontology-inspired album series, presenting a gear shift towards the electronic world while redefining heaviness at the same time. With Holocene The Ocean draw us into their momentum of truly forward-thinking music and relentless live performances. More than 20 years into their career, this Berlin-based collective still shake us to the core, inviting us to reconsider our lives from different angles. Dwelling in the depths of our inner contemplations, while looking up, we can see the light at the surface. A light we might have taken for granted for so long, but of which The Ocean show us a rare glimpse of perspective. Holocene unites the might of this massive act’s past and present, while creating a deeper understanding of their world as well as ours in the process.

THE PORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS
After years honing their craft in bands such as Swampass, The Porn Again Christians, Soy City Stranglers, Pork Chop Shifter, among others, MALT LIQUOR was forged in 2012 out of pure Rock ‘n’ Roll! These boys have collectively opened for such monsters as Iggy Pop, Fu Manchu, GWAR, Misfits, Nashville Pussy, Zeke, Supersuckers etc. As rock spewed forth from the three men in the band at all times, it only made sense they combine forces for the ultimate rock ‘n’ cock ‘n’ roll machine! They combine the cock rock of their forefathers such as The Stooges, The Dwarves, The Hellacopters, et al, with their own blend of white boy blues thrash. Recordings are in the very near future, but for now ya gotta catch ’em live!
