Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! HUGE visitation of Atlantan garage punks, detonating DIY bombs of hxc psych-sludge in the unsuspecting Lanes. Ferocious goofiness, future classic anthems, future icon front-person, CHECK. An unmissable freak beatdown FFO: Amyl and the Sniffers, Pixies, Snõõper, Black Flag, Angel Du$t."

UPCHUCK • www.instagram.com/_upchuck_
Upchuck is a five piece band from Atlanta, formed from connections made in skateboarding, construction, and teenage delinquency. The band is made up of lead guitarist Mikey, Rhythm guitarist- Hoff, bassist- Armando, drummer- Chris, and vocalist- KT- who combined are inventively raucous and revolutionary.
Shortly after the release of their debut album Sense Yourself, Upchuck embarked upon a break-neck string of live shows, touring alongside the likes of Fuzz, Amyl and the Sniffers, Negative Approach, OFF!, and Subhumans. For the next step, Upchuck absconded to Southern California to record Bite the Hand That Feeds, enlisting the production talents of Ty Segall and the airy reprieve of his secluded Topanga Canyon home studio. Upchuck credits Segall, who recorded the entire record live to tape over the span of five days, with helping to elevate the arrangements of their second record to bold new heights—fans of Segall’s extensive catalog will undoubtedly recognize the shadow of his creative touch in Bite the Hand That Feeds’ commanding, layered drum polyrhythms, tasteful use of oddball effects, and fuzzed out, every-guitar-pushed-into-the-red ethos.
MERCY ROOM • instagram.com/mercy__room
Mercy Room is a corrupted hardcore band from Bristol, subverting d-beat and sludge with oppressive noise, cacophonous sirens and swirling tape echo. Their self-produced first offering released in Spring 2025 - Spear/Blistered - was recorded at Humm Studios in Bristol and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Animal Collective, High on Fire)
