DOOM SCROLL
Colorado’s DOOM SCROLL will bring an aggressive, melodic punk/crust wave of complex acoustic instrumentation and layers of harmonies knitted from decades of music appreciation and performance. Doom Scroll is one of six bands signed to Bottles to the Ground, the upstart label from NOFX front man Fat Mike, an imprint of the iconic punk label Fat Wreck Chords. Alongside diverse acts like ska-fusion veterans Fishbone and punk-rap poets Codefendants, Doom Scroll’s unique blend of pop, punk, folk and acoustic metal music makes it a perfect fit for the label’s eclectic flagship roster. The band has been lauded by music news outlets like Dying Scene, Rebel Noise, Punknews.org and Houston Press. Besides songs which range from politically-charged to existential in nature, Doom Scroll has leaned on its musicianship and vocal harmonies to draw in daring listeners. In just 4 years, Doom Scroll have played over 200 shows. Noteworthy festivals they’ve performed at include Riot Fest Chicago, Muddy Roots, Compost Heap, and Hellbound.
RENT STRIKE
RENT STRIKE is a lore-heavy, genre-mixing amalgamation of folk, punk, jazz, and rock, hell-bent on the abolition of the present state of music. Their 2018 Lord of the Rings concept album IX has received widespread accolades and radically transformed the lives of listeners worldwide. The years since have seen the releases of the ambitious concept albums NOW, and Möbius Strip Mall, both sonically and lyrically pushing the boundaries of convention. RENT STRIKE refuses a world where they or anybody else is placed in any sort of box, and affirms a vision of a future where all are free, forever!
