ARTISTS
95 BULLS
95 Bulls (NYC) blend garage-punk, psych, post-punk, and synth-wave into an electrifying sonic assault. Before forming 95 Bulls, the members (vocalist Emily Ashenden, keyboardist Kayla Asbell, guitarist Matt C. White, bassist Oweinama Biu, and drummer Zach Butler) honed their skills in a handful of rock acts whose music should already be in your record collection. Their approach is an unapologetic blend of driving, fuzzed-out guitar and searing-synth anxiety. They channel the raw energy of their DIY roots, while pushing the boundaries of modern rock.
Their current album, Canadian Nightclub, has earned enthusiastic coverage from Creem Magazine, New Noise Magazine, Alt Citizen, The Spiral Groove, Mesmerized, and others. Their forthcoming album is being produced by Walter Schreifels (of Quicksand and Gorilla Biscuits) and TJ Penzone (of Men, Women & Children), marking the next chapter for a band already making noise well beyond the NYC underground.
"95 Bulls' [New LP] Canadian Nightclub is the greatest secret NYC is keeping from you. It's not just a vibe. It's an experience. One that tightly grips your attention from the get-go."

ALICE DONUT
ALICE DONUT (NYC) formed in the punk underground of New York City's Lower East Side in 1987 and was originally one of the main acts on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label, resulting in the release of seven studio albums and one live LP. An 8th studio album was recorded on guitarist Dave Giffen's label, Howler Records.
The band's style and lyrics are eclectic. Their music is a mixture of hard rock, punk, grunge, and post-punk, and typically features melodic, guitar-heavy, odd-metered, and deeply grooved pieces. It's often punctuated with brass instrumentation; many of the members are traditionally- or classically-trained musicians (though rarely on the same instruments they play in the band). They were at the top of their game and hight of their success. So, naturally they disbanded.
After a very long hiatus of several decades, Alice Donut agreed to play just one show at Brooklyn Made (Now Saint Vitus). The show sold out in less than 10 hours. A second show was added, and that sold out in even less time. So, of course, with no notice given, the venue suddenly shut down and all tickets were immediately refunded before the show date arrived. Faced with hundreds of fans having already booked hotels and flights to see them, a panicked search for an alternate venue ensued. Fortunately, another venue was able to be booked on the exact same dates and in the same borough! Two back to back shows at Brooklyn Monarch (in Brooklyn...duh), became stuff of legend. The following year, Alice Donut agreed to play two shows at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco with Steel Pole Bathtub. Now, in 2027, the band will perform just one show in a currently unnamed Classic NYC venue to celebrate their
40TH DONUTVERSARY!
It will be a time indeed. We hope to see y'all there!
Alice Donut is " twisted freak show of punk, rock, and pop sticking pins into the warped underbelly of humanity."

GEWALT
Gewalt (Berlin) "steals from Einstürzende Neubauten, DAF, Joy Division, Daft Punk, Kraftwerk, Falco, Prince, Dr. Dre, LCD Soundsystem, and dysfunctional relationships" put on such wild shows that they caught the attention of Jack White, who invited them to support his tour in Germany. They later shared stages with The Raveonettes, Fat White Family, and Tricky. In 2025, they toured the US & Mexico by invitation of Jake Garcia to support his awesome band, The Black Angels.

SALLY ANN HALL
New York sensation and Alaskan embarrassment Sally Ann Hall, who escaped the Northwest to pursue her dream of disappointing her parents, brings a unique blend of witty elegance and utter crassness to her comedy, “combining adult wit with childlike bladder control”. She’s won first place in several standup competitions, travelled the world on her headlining tour, and has won three microphone-shaped trophies, two rounds of bedbugs, and one stalker who decided to move on after meeting her in person.
Sally Ann was the first-place winner of the She Devil Comedy Festival, the Laughing Devil Comedy Festival, New York City’s One Liner Madness, and was the first comedian in history to be named a Power Woman of the Year by Moves NY Magazine in 2025. She was a Caroline’s on Broadway ‘Breakout Artist’, featured in the HBO Women in Comedy Festival, and was named a Comic to Watch in the prestigious New York Comedy Festival. Her live shows have been recommended by the New York Times, Time Out NY, VICE, and maybe someday, her mom and dad.
Now the rest of the world will finally get a chance to see why she’s been a staple in the New York comedy scene when her debut special, Dead Wife Pretty, is now available on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Comedy Dynamics, YouTube, & Google Play, and has gone viral on TikTok.
“Imagine if a silent film actress became a lounge singer and was also your funniest friend with the best stories. That bitch has nothing on Sally Ann.”

KULTUR SHOCK
Kultur Shock (Alternative Tentacles Records) plays Balkan Punk Overdrive. When singer Gino Srdjan Yevdjevich left war-ravaged Sarajevo and settled in Seattle in the mid-90s, he hauled two things in tow - his immense vocal and songwriting talent, and his relentless ambition to create. Little did he know that after starting Kultur Shock in 1996, he was not only going to become the beating heart of one of the most consequential genre-bending bands of the last couple of decades, but also the de facto grandfather of a movement that people today casually refer to as gipsy punk. For the following 25 years,
To describe Kultur Shock’s style and sound, people usually refer to Gogol Bordello, System of a Down, Dubioza Kolektiv, Manu Chao, The Pogues or Gang of Four, but none of that does the band a justice, because Kultur Shock’s sound and approach to music are literally in a league of their own.
The band released its first three studio records produced by Faith No More’s Bill Gould on his KoolArrow Records between 2001 and 2006. Since 2007, Kultur Shock has been self-produced and self-released on its own label, Kultur Shock Records, followed by a fresh collaboration between Kultur Shock Records and Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles Records.
"Kultur Shock is what punk rock should sound like!"

SPOTLIGHTS
SPOTLIGHTS
Spotlights (Ipecac Records) are one of the hardest-working new bands out there The group gained traction with their debut album, Tidals, earning coveted spots on tours with Deftones and Refused. Not long after, they caught the attention of Ipecac Recordings, releasing Seismic in 2017, touring relentlessly (again, enjoying word of mouth amongst musicians to land outings with the Mr. Bungle, Quicksand, Pallbearer, etc) and worked right into the studio, releasing Love & Decay. Consequence praised their “unique amalgam of sounds that is both heavy and heavenly,” Brooklyn Vegan said the band balances the pretty with metallic sludge, and Invisible Oranges said the album “leans on the ambient and krautrock inspired edges of post-metal.” In the wake of their 2020 EP We Are All Atomic, Kerrang! observed, “That a band as heavy and romantic as Spotlights have become a fixture in the rock scene is impressive; that they’ve done so in such a short period of time is tremendous.”
“If you’re an artist, we hope our music inspires you to make art and push the envelope. Even though the themes might seem morbid and dark, as always we hope our music creates positivity. We all need to care for one another and all living beings on this planet, while we can.”
