About the Bands:

D.R.I.
Formed in 1982 in Houston, Texas, D.R.I. are widely regarded as one of the founding forces behind crossover thrash, blending hardcore punk intensity with thrash metal aggression. With classic releases like “Crossover” (1987), the band helped define a genre that would influence acts such as Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity, and Stormtroopers of Death.
Current lineup includes Kurt Brecht (vocals), Spike Cassidy (guitar), Rob Rampy (drums), and Harald Oimoen (bass).

Deathwish
Described as “old school speed punk”, Deathwish deliver high-octane, motor-charged punk energy. Signed to Beer City Records, the band continues to push raw, fast-paced aggression with a DIY underground spirit.

Supreme Mystic
A powerful fusion of stoner rock, post-hardcore, and experimental heaviness, Supreme Mystic channel Detroit’s industrial energy into a unique sound blending heavy riffs with spiritual and atmospheric elements.

Fastplants
Chicago-based punk/skate rock band Fastplants have been active since 2013, building a strong underground presence through touring and releases. The band has shared the stage with acts such as Agent Orange, The Supersuckers, Zeke, and Murphy’s Law, and previously supported D.R.I. on tour.

Brainbleed
Born during the pandemic, Brainbleed evolved from experimental recordings into a full-force live crossover act, delivering chaotic, fast-paced sets tackling themes of isolation, inequality, and modern societal tension.
