Based out of Philadelphia, PA, Mighty Joe Castro & The Gravamen have been described as sounding like Buddy Holly, if he’d had access to a stack of effects pedals and some Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds records. Influenced by 50’s Rock and Roll and infused with post modern Easter eggs cribbed from old episodes of MTV’s 120 Minutes, Mighty Joe Castro takes a modern, lyric driven approach to songwriting while The Gravamen layer on Jesus and Mary Chain-cover-Link Wray guitar atmosphere, booming doghouse bass and swinging beats. The quartet lurks at a crossroads where Sun Records and Creation Records meet.

A lifelong observer, chronicler, and creative force, Lily Vakili has spent years gathering fragments of the world – memories, landscapes, voices, losses, joys – and transforming them into urgent, electric songs. She was raised across Honduras, Florida, Thailand, Puerto Rico, and Iowa – absorbing pieces of each place, each culture, along the way. This international upbringing shaped her worldview, her voice, and her lifelong search for connection. The past decade has seen her channel that force through multiple studio albums – released both as a solo artist and with her successful Vakili Band – each one experimenting with the wide, untamed possibilities of rock.
Off the heels of her 2025 full-length release Oceans Of Kansas and East Coast tour, Vakili released her first live EP, Live Wire on May 8, 2026, an in-studio, live audio and video recording of songs named for what fans and critics alike say is a perfect description of her charismatic performance style. For this stripped down and intimate six-song release, Vakili called upon her collaborator, the Grammy-Award winning, Emmy-nominated producer/engineer Reed Turchi, to produce the EP at his studio Second Take Sound (now Voyager Sound) in New York City. Live Wire reimagines old favorites and introduces new songs showcasing her emotionally raw, live sound – a genre-blending fusion of blues, rock, and art rock elements, backed by poetic storytelling.
Godfathers in the Bay Area metal scene, Forbidden have returned with their first album in 16 years to unleash 12 fierce, uncompromising, and supremely progressive songs which signal an almighty return. Forbidden will be released by BLKIIBLK Records on ________and charts a defiant journey through scything riffs, incredible melodies, 24 karat lead guitars, simply thunderous drums and bass, plus the studio debut of Norman Skinner (Niviane & Imagika) whose soaring vocals elevate the material to unprecedented levels.

With Skinner stepping up to take on lyrical duties, Forbidden takes a fierce and uncompromising look into the eyes of our times without taking sides, instead imploring people to recognize the false conflicts created by the current society and how they can conquer and rise above them. Take the blistering roar of “Single Point Failure”, the beautiful orchestral savagery of “Flower of Life”, and the relentless charge of “Burning The Lungs Of Earth.” There’s also the mid-paced brooding power of “Psyclops,” the twisting, winding power force of “Sycophantasy” featuring guest vocals from Mastodon’s Brann Dailor, and a thunderous ode to women “The Burden” featuring guest vocals from Kayla Dixon. In addition, Forbidden pay homage to classic American heavy metal band Savatage in the shape of a malevolent and mesmeric cover of “Sirens”, which embraces Greek mythology.
Recorded, produced and engineered at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, California with engineer and co-producer Zack Ohren, Forbidden is the the resounding realization of a band which has finally found inner-peace, and furious cohesion, in expressing its true passionate angst and incredible metal heart.

The success of Kaya, an openly bisexual, fabulously flamboyant cross-dresser, was a wake-up call for Japan’s notoriously conservative music industry. Born Tatsuya Kasei on July 17, 1983 in Tokushima, he started out in music in 1999 under the name Hime (Princess) in the short-lived visual kei bands Meties and Isola, but his career really started to take off when he met Hora, keyboardist of the band Velvet Eden. In 2001, they formed the gothic electro-industrial duo Rudolf Steiner, named after the 19th century Austrian mystic. They attracted the attention of famous producer Mana — former guitarist of the massively successful Malice Mizer — who signed them to his own label, changing their name to Schwarz Stein (pseudo-German for Black Stone). At the same time, Hime changed his stage name to Kaya, after the name of the legendary bird karyoubinka. Kaya’s clear, pure, yet powerful tenor was especially suited to Hora’s dark electronic music, and the duo’s two albums, New Vogue Children and Artificial Hallucination, acquired cult status both in Japan and around the world, especially in Europe. In 2004, they split over musical differences, disappeared from the scene for two years, then reunited briefly in the project Another Cell before launching solo careers.

Everyone likes to romanticize the working class. It’s easy to fool yourself into thinking you understand a perspective because you saw it in a netflix doc or read something from a best selling “culture” critic. But what if you’re on the other side of that story, focused on survival, watching the world pay attention to all the wrong things, waking up each day fighting to get to the next.
What if the sci-fi dystopian future happening this very minute, is your reality, and all you have is a guitar, cheap synthesizer, old computer and a tangled rusty voice?
That’s the constant starting-line embraced by N8NOFACE.
Originally from Tucson, N8NOFACE made his way to LA to double down on the visual, audio and live expression naturally running through his veins. While his influences range from Suicidal Tendencies to Stones Throw compilations of minimal wave music, his sound can be uniquely classified as the past, present and future heartbeat of the real LA. A dirty melding of 80s/90s nostalgic synthpunk combined with the amalgamation of chaos heard in grimy soundcloud rap tapes.
N8NOFACE screams for those left behind, presenting the hard truth of police brutality, mental health, and the untold stories of the voiceless. His 1-2 minute minimalist distorted dark synth movements challenge every listener to accept what the real world sounds like, and dares the complacent to be shocked out of their musical safety net of never-ending sameness.

To be honest, I’m not a perfect person. There have been a lot of times in my life I’ve felt grief, guilt, remorse, heartache, and so many more impactful emotions. The music you hear is mostly reflective of that. I’m conscious of the fact that I create my own destiny and will suffer the course of my own consequences. Truth is, we’ve all been through stuff, but I think at the end of the day I’m never looking to use it as an excuse but more so a reason to explain why things happen the way they do. Now, at 28 years old, I feel like I’m starting to hopefully change and grow my soul into the person that I was always meant to be before falling down the path of least resistance. Nonetheless, there’s no way I’ll ever be perfect, but I’ve been told it’s never too late to try.
