Hippie Death Cult -
Hippie Death Cult's journey through shameless and triumphant artistic expression has led them to become a vibrant force in the realms of psychedelia and riff-heavy rock n' roll. Throughout their formative years, the band underwent what proved to be a very significant evolution, transitioning from a 4-piece to a more cohesive and harmonious power trio. This lineup currently consists of guitarist and founder Eddie Brnabic, vocalist and bassist Laura Phillips, and drummer Harry Silvers. In 2019, Hippie Death Cult caught the attention of Cursed Tongue Records, who signed them for the release of their highly anticipated album "111." The record was met with widespread acclaim, solidifying their place in the music scene. Building on this success, the band made another significant move in 2021 by signing with Heavy Psych Sounds Records. This partnership resulted in the release of their album "Circle of Days" and a split release titled "Doom Sessions Vol.5" with label mates High Reeper. Both full-length albums soared to the very top of the Doom Charts as well as many “Album Of The Year” lists, further cementing their status as a rising force in the genre. Beyond their studio work, Hippie Death Cult is renowned for their electrifying and passionate stage performances. Their captivating stage presence have taken them on tours across the United States, Canada, and Europe, where they have garnered a dedicated and growing fanbase.
-ether -
-ether is a shoegaze band from the Pacific Northwest, featuring Jay Davis (bass, guitar, vocals), Cosmia Way (bass, guitar, vocals), Charlemagne Peatross (guitar), and Logan Anderson (drums). Originally known as DEAD NETTLE, they evolved from punk roots to create a unique blend of atmospheric ambient noise and engaging aggression.
Their music, influenced by early Sonic Youth, They're Gutting a Body of Water, and Bardo Pond, delves into themes of mental health and raw emotions. Jay and Cosmia’s rotation between leading vocals and instruments brings a dynamic layer to their sound.
Having performed across the PNW and received attention for their tape-recorded EP, -ether is now focused on their upcoming album release and PNW tour.
