Loud, retro, cool as hell…like if The Ronettes got into a bar fight with The Sonics (and won). You’ll swear it’s straight outta the '60s, but louder and way less polite.

Frankie and the Witch Fingers deal in blown-out psych-punk with new wave glitches and just enough grease to stain your soul. Wild live show, serious pedalboard chaos, zero chill.

FFO: Ty Segall · Oh Sees · Thee Sacred Souls ❤️☠️🖤

Winter makes the kind of music you put on when you’re walking home alone and pretending you’re in a movie (just me?). It’s hazy, nostalgic, and a little bit sparkly in that “I’m processing something, don’t talk to me” kind of way.

FFO: NF · Joyner Lucas · Hopsin ❤️☠️🖤

From the outer edges of the fuzziverse comes Kal-El, Norway’s heavy-hitting doom ‘n’ roll export. For fans of fuzz, Sabbath worship, and soundtracks to space battles you (probably) didn’t survive.

FFO: Monolord · Kadaver · Red Fang 

This band’s here to dice your brain with sugary-sweet riffs and juicy prog grooves. It’s technical and it’ll leave seeds stuck in your teeth (metaphorically… probably).

FFO: Mannequin Pussy · Slothrust · illuminati hotties ❤️☠️🖤

Careful Gaze is headed to our very famous stage for a night of metalcore! Don’t miss out!

One minute you’re laughing at a lyric, the next you’re genuinely into the groove and wondering how you ended up in a full-blown singalong. It’s loud, it’s loose, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Just show up, grab a beer, and let things get a little weird.
