Saint Paul, Minnesota's Roach Eater have been serving up stoner/doom since 2019, a genre combination that thrives in the upper Midwest's long winters and appreciation for music that sprawls and crushes in equal measure. Their sound lives in the low end — fuzz-heavy riffs that move at funeral pace while carrying just enough psychedelic haze to keep things interesting. The name is deliberately off-putting, but it captures the band's refusal to make anything easy or comfortable.
Roachwhore crawled out of Kingsport, Tennessee in 2022 with a fixation on the ugliest end of extreme music, blending goregrind's visceral obsession with bodily horror into a grindcore framework that is relentlessly fast and purposefully repulsive. Their sound is short, brutal, and uncompromising — the kind of band that treats a two-minute runtime as generous.
Road Crew is a heavy metal and hard rock band from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, formed in 2014. The band delivers classic-leaning metal and hard rock from southeastern France.
