Mourning [A] BLKstar is a genre-defying collective rooted in Black radical tradition, improvisation, and community practice. Blending soul, punk, hip-hop, free jazz, and spoken word, their music feels less like a band and more like a living conversation—one that moves between grief and joy, resistance and care. The group’s work is deeply collaborative, often pulling from personal testimony, ancestral memory, and the realities of Black life in America. Onstage, Mourning [A] BLKstar creates an immersive, cathartic experience—raw, political, and deeply human—where songs stretch, collapse, and rebuild in real time. Their performances invite listeners into a shared space of reflection and possibility, honoring struggle while insisting on tenderness, imagination, and collective liberation.

Hiroe (pronounced Hero-way) erupted as a seismic force in American post-rock in 2020, emerging from the Philadelphia underground at the height of the pandemic. Celebrated as “the new darlings of American post-rock,” the band has quickly carved out a commanding presence, becoming one of the genre’s most compelling new voices. Blending the ethereal and the crushing — pairing the sweeping melodicism of Radiohead and Interpol with the visceral weight of Deftones and Isis — Hiroe crafts a striking instrumental rock-metal hybrid that continues to attract a rapidly expanding and fiercely loyal fanbase. Signed to Pelagic Records — renowned for championing genre visionaries like Mono, God Is an Astronaut, and The Ocean — the band has released two critically acclaimed records, Wrought and Wield, earning widespread accolades from heavy-music authorities including Metal Hammer, Metal Injection, and Metal Sucks. Following landmark performances at events such as Post Fest, the band now stands at the threshold of its most ambitious year yet, fueled by new music, 2026 festival appearances, and continued touring in support of Wield.
TAKAAT (pronounced tuh-cot, meaning “noise” in the Tuareg language Tamashek) is a dynamic and intense rock trio formed by members of the rhythm section from Mdou Moctar, the celebrated Tuareg guitarist and songwriter. The band grew out of soundchecks on tour, where the three musicians — Ahmoudou Madassane (guitar/vocals), Mikey Coltun (bass), and Souleymane Ibrahim (drums) — explored their shared love of cranked-up amps and blown speakers. TAKAAT’s music blends West African guitar traditions from the Sahel with the raw energy and DIY ethos of post-punk and noise rock, drawing influence from bands like Fugazi and Unwound. Their sound is energetic, dark, improvisational, and visceral, moving between hypnotic rhythms and explosive bursts of sound. Monsoon Monsoon is a two-piece band from Athens, Georgia, known for weaving unorthodox styles into a distinct sound that blurs indie rock, punk energy, and unconventional songwriting. The duo create music that’s deeply rooted in expressive performance and an exploratory rock tradition, with a focus on both intensity and melodic unpredictability. Originally gaining attention with their debut album Ride A’Rolla, which even landed a placement in a Toyota commercial after the Super Bowl, Monsoon has developed a loyal following across the East Coast and beyond. Their work continued with Ghost Party and other releases, showcasing a blend of gritty rock elements and emotionally expansive songwriting
