Dinosaur Pile-Up

Leeds, GB · 2007–present · active
Leeds trio Dinosaur Pile-Up have been delivering massive, fuzz-drenched alternative rock since forming in 2007, channeling the spirit of Pixies, Weezer, and Nirvana through walls of distortion. Frontman Matt Sherring's gift for melody shines through the noise on albums like 'Celebrity Mansions' and 'Growing Pains,' which pair pop hooks with grunge-weight heaviness. Their music became ubiquitous in action sports media and video games, bringing their anthemic sound to a wide audience.

A 2024 album, Inexorable Nexus, marked their continued activity.

Bellingham, Washington's Dioghaltas — whose name means "vengeance" in Scottish Gaelic — have been crafting black metal since 2020 in the rain-soaked corner of the Pacific Northwest where the Cascade foothills meet Puget Sound.
