Academy Order arrived fully formed on 2021’s To Wilt Without Shame and have made good on their uniquely fierce blend of goth-tinged post-punk, death rock, hardcore, and new wave. Dispensing with the decidedly icy, arthouse posturing of other, lesser post-leaning acts, Academy Order brings a Blitz-like sensibility to their sound, which focuses equally on gorgeous melodies and a sense of attack. Admittedly influenced by the aforementioned bringers of Second Empire Justice, TSOL’s mid period, and The Chameleons, there a great deal more lessons to be culled from this three song herd. It should appeal to fans of synth wave and the like as much as it does Syndrome 81, Chain Cult, and labelmates Bleached Cross. - Adam Yoe, No Echo

Plasmata: Chicago GlampiresHelmed by Trent Jeffries, Plasmata combine classic Chicago industrial-rock and dark alt-rock with gothic “Glampire” aesthetics. Their 2021 EP, Portraits of Pain was produced by William Faith (of The Bellwether Syndicate, Faith and the Muse, Rozz Williams et al), and explored themes ranging from Trent’s harrowing recovery from a debilitating brain aneurysm with lead single ‘Leviathan’; through to the “Jack the Ripper Manifesto” of ‘Ten Bells’.In turn, tracks from the EP have since spawned William Faith’s ‘Leviathaneursym Remix’ of ‘Leviathan’; the hugely popular ‘You Call Him the Devil’ remix of ‘Ten Bells’ by Ben Christo of The Sisters of Mercy; and more recent remixes from tourmates [melter] and 2 Forks. Their debut full length album is set for a fourth quarter 2025 release.Led by Jeffries’ onstage theatrics, Plasmata are known for routinely bringing the house down at Chicago underground music haunts like Liar’s Club and Reggie’s Rock Bar, and recently toured the US East Coast with [melter] and 2 Forks, for the Imperfect Waves Tour.
