IRATA w/ SHUN
Since its 2007 genesis at the hands of founding members Jon Case and Jason Ward, Irata has mutated relentlessly. Through four previous records, the band has never sat idly on any specific style, while always maintaining its signature – a mesmerizing, grinding pulse between bass and drums. After releasing “Tower” in 2019 as a four-piece, Irata is once again a trio, and continues to push forward into new sonic territories with “Human”, coming 2026 on Small Stone Records.

YTHGRP, Ham Radio, and Good Good Grief

YTHGRP: Greensboro, NC screamo GGG: Punk rock straight from the depths of the Cape Fear, with heavy roots in hardcore, the GGG offer an often explosive and raucous breed of rock n’ roll sure to liven up even the deadest of souls while giving them something to sink their teeth into and leave ’em hanging on the hooks.
