Niis—pronounced “Nice”—synthesizes the sounds of punk, hardcore, lo-fi garage, and earlygrunge to craft a raw, undefinable noise all their own. Hailing from Los Angeles, this four-piece
channels the spirit of rebellion through blistering riffs and Mimi’s visceral screams, delivering biting commentary on capitalism, misogyny, and the constructs that seek to confine us. With influences like Rudimentary Peni, Crass, and Hole, Niis fuses rage and reflection into songs that confront and provoke, like “Fuck You Boy,” an unflinching anthem about navigating a male- dominated music scene, or the searing "Tyrant," which demands liberation from oppressive systems.
On March 28, Niis will release their highly anticipated new album, Niis World, via Get Better Records. The album embodies their ethos of defiance and empowerment, with tracks like “Low Life” exploring themes of betrayal and resilience, and “Spite” rejecting societal archetypes with lines like, “No longer will I exist in spite of you.” The band’s relentless energy and sharp lyricism shine through, cementing their place as one of punk's most vital voices.
Since their 2020 debut EP Not Niis and their 2022 follow-up Must Be…, Niis has shared stages with acts like Devo, Scowl, Gel, Bleached, Sheer Mag, and Ceremony, and performed at festivals like SXSW and Punk in the Park alongside legends such as Pennywise and Circle Jerks. Yet no matter how far they push their sound, Niis remains deeply rooted in punk’s core ethos of community and connection. With Niis World, the band is set to remind us that true punk is about breaking chains, speaking truth, and, above all, being “nice like Niis.”
Kent Osborne is a genre-defying artist who fuses aggressive punk rock with hard-hitting rap, creating a sound that’s both chaotic and captivating. Performing with just a drummer, Kent delivers a minimalist yet intense live show, where his fiery guitar riffs and rapid-fire lyrical flow dominate the stage.
