SUMMARY:JOSEPH
DESCRIPTION:JOSEPH is the Oregon-bred sister duo of Natalie and Meegan Closner\, known for their powerful harmonies\, emotionally honest songwriting\, and genre-blurring blend of indie pop\, folk\, and rock. Since releasing their breakout debut I’m Alone\, No You’re Not in 2016—which featured their hit single “White Flag” and landed them on The Tonight Show\, TODAY\, and the Billboard charts—the band has steadily built a devoted following through gripping live performances\, national tours\, and appearances at major festivals including Coachella\, Glastonbury\, and Bonnaroo. \nOver the years\, JOSEPH has released a string of critically acclaimed records including Good Luck\, Kid (2019) and The Sun (2023)\, praised for their rich vocal arrangements and soul-baring lyricism. With the recent departure of their sister Allie\, the band enters a new era as a duo—leaning into greater vulnerability\, creative autonomy\, and emotional depth. \nTheir upcoming album Closer to Happy (via Nettwerk) marks their boldest and most personal work to date. Co-produced with Luke Niccoli (Carly Rae Jepsen\, Miya Folick)\, the project explores themes of grief\, self-trust\, and radical self-acceptance. Whether through triumphant anthems like “I Believe In Myself” or gut-punch ballads like “Bye and Bye\,” JOSEPH continues to turn lived experience into songs that resonate far beyond the surface.

SUMMARY:Wheel
DESCRIPTION:Charismatic leaders. These are the dictators\, demagogues and false idols who\, around the world at this very moment\, are stoking division and igniting war in the name of nothing but self-gain. They’re also the unmistakable target of Wheel’s latest album of the same name: a seven-song prog metal opus that strives for all things right in a world gone wrong. \nSince forming in 2015\, Wheel have swiftly grown from underdogs of Helsinki\, Finland\, to an international tour de force. The angular riffs\, unforgettable melodies and adventurous scope of the trio’s 2019 debut\, Moving Backwards\, was instantly adored by fans of megastars from Tool to Coheed & Cambria. Then\, 2021 follow up Resident Human received rave reviews from publications across the planet\, praising its sonic evolution and bravely dystopian themes. \nCharismatic Leaders was meticulously crafted to meet Wheel’s ever-heightening benchmarks. Its songs date as far back as 2020\, and recording with engineers/co-producers Daniel Bergstrand and Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah) stretched from August to December 2023. The end result\, mixed by Forrester Savell\, has consolidated all the gains of what came before: singer/guitarist James Lascelles\, lead guitarist Jussi Turunen\, bassist Jere Lehto and drummer Santeri Saksala’s third album represents their heaviest and most conscious music to date. \nAlready\, Wheel have toured the world with such prog metal idols as Epica\, Leprous\, Vola and Soen\, and it’s easy to imagine the irresistible hook of “Disciple” or the explosive guitars of “Submission” only amplifying the excitement of their shows. \nWheel’s The Dark Side Tour 2026 will take fans deep into the band’s musical universe\, showcasing songs rarely heard on stage next to classics from their catalogue. Wheel will revive hidden gems\, creating an intense and immersive live experience. This tour promises a unique journey for longtime followers and a thrilling discovery for newcomers alike.

SUMMARY:Carter Vail - The Coydog Tour
DESCRIPTION:Carter Vail is the kind of guy who can look on the bright side no matter what. Take one listen to the infectious pop-rock he’s been making since 2018 or watch his hilarious videos on TikTok or Instagram\, and you’ll find a relentless optimist who crafts inviting tunes with humor and heart. \nThough the Los Angeles songwriter’s sophomore LP 100 Cowboys boasts the same tasteful and turbocharged alternative that dominates his catalog\, beneath the breezy arrangements are his most bracingly personal lyrics yet. Written following a devastating breakup\, Vail channels messy\, heartbroken feelings into nine galvanizing and cathartic songs. It’s as anthemic as it is compelling\, all delivered with palpable\, tongue-in-cheek charm. \n100 Cowboys is a playful and perceptive pop-rock album about getting through a bad time. It takes its title from Vail’s infatuation with campy Spaghetti Westerns and a throwback to his time recording country acts at his former Nashville studio. “I like how like campy old cowboy movies are and in a lot of ways I think that’s what being a musician is like\,” says Vail. “You can be your own persona. A lot of these songs are super personal to me but dressing them up as pop and rock songs is a lot of fun. It’s how I can share this brief period of my life that was really sad.”

SUMMARY:Emery - 20th Anniversary of The Question

The undisputed kings of Christian emo have spent two decades creating emotional experiences by blending post-hardcore chaos\, melodies\, and lyrics that hit way too close to home. They’re the band that makes you scream\, cry\, and laugh\, sometimes all in the same breath.

SUMMARY:INIKO - Awakening The Empire North American Tour
DESCRIPTION:Iniko (they/them) is a genre-defying artist and spiritual storyteller signed to Audio Angel Music Group in partnership with Columbia Records. With a voice that sounds both ancestral and futuristic\, Iniko creates music that transcends time\, blending soul\, trap\, alternative\, and celestial frequencies into a sound uniquely their own. \nTheir gold-certified anthem “Jericho” catapulted them into global consciousness\, laying the foundation for their debut project The Awakening which is a bold and unflinching journey through revolution\, divinity\, and rebirth. The project features songs like “The King’s Affirmation\,” a viral proclamation of self-worth that became a mantra for millions\, and “Yosemite\,” a powerful declaration of Iniko’s role as a protector of the world and a voice for the meek and the damned. \nWith the deluxe edition of The Awakening\, Iniko reveals an even more audacious side\, introducing tracks like “God Body”—a fiery trap-drill anthem where they boast about their god-like nature with a rawness and intensity that first captivated fans during their viral On The Radar performance. \nWhether singing\, rapping\, or channeling emotion through silence\, Iniko’s artistry is deeply spiritual\, deeply human\, and deeply needed. They are the voice of a generation learning to embrace their truth\, their power\, and their higher calling. Iniko isn’t just an artist but they are a portal\, a movement\, and a reminder that we are all divine.

SUMMARY:The Aggrolites
DESCRIPTION:The year is 2002. Vocalist Jesse Wagner and organist Roger Rivas\, each fresh out of their own bands\, come together to form dirty reggae quintet the Aggrolites. With a sound that is equal parts Kingston and Motown\, the band turns the heads of discerning music listeners everywhere\, not to mention a slew of legends both old-school (Phyllis Dillon\, Derrick Morgan) and newer (Tim Armstrong) who recruit them for collaborations. Over the next decade\, the Los Angeles band tours hard and records constantly\, releasing five full-lengths while spending close to 250 days a year on the road. For a time\, it seemed like the Aggrolites were everywhere\, and that’s because they truly were. (Their van’s odometer can prove it.) \nThen\, unexpectedly: Silence. The Aggrolites enter a prolonged hibernation following a particularly grueling tour for 2011’s Rugged Road\, and suddenly\, the scene was without its leading purveyors of dirty reggae. \n“I guess it just comes down to getting burned out\,” frontman Wagner recalls. “We lost motivation to record. We got to that point where we had to take care of our own personal lives. Everybody just needed time for themselves.” \nOf course\, you can’t keep a good band down. Even though the Aggrolites were technically on hiatus\, it didn’t stop them from playing a handful of gigs each year\, nor did it stop members from exploring other creative endeavors. (Rivas started his own recording studio and multiple new bands; Wagner began playing with Vic Ruggiero from the Slackers; bassist Jeff Roffredo formed a band called Wild Roses with former Dropkick Murphys guitarist Marc Orrell.) And with fan support still unwavering\, the band reconvened in late 2015 to lay down three songs\, “Aggro Reggae Party\,” “Help Man” and “Western Taipan\,” which reminded them that\, hey\, they’re still pretty damn good at this. \n“I think we were so preoccupied with our lives at that time that we were just doing things out of force to keep the band alive\,” Wagner says. “But luckily and thankfully we did\, because we never gave up.” \nThat one-off recording session was the spark that eventually created REGGAE NOW!\, the Aggrolites’ sixth full-length and first for new label Pirates Press Records. Written and recorded throughout 2018\, the album finds Wagner and his bandmates—Rivas\, Roffredo\, drummer Alex McKenzie and new guitarist Ricky Chacon—reestablishing their signature sound\, re-recording those three songs from 2015 as well as adding on 11 more originals that snap\, crackle and pop just as much as your favorite Aggro songs from back in the day. \n“We wanted to keep it real\,” Wagner says. Even though we were proud of [2009 album] IV\, we know we went outside the box a little on that one. This time around\, we decided to keep it natural: Simple\, two-chord reggae. It’s feel-good music. We know what people like out of us. Let’s just be us.” \nWhile it took nearly a decade to get the Aggrolites back into a cohesive creative headspace\, it took a fraction of the time to actually lay down music—the band knocked out all the basic rhythm tracks for REGGAE NOW! in one day in early 2018. \n“We like to keep it old school and record organically\, like the Funk Brothers of Motown or The Hippy Boys of 1960’s Jamaica\,“ Wagner reveals. “There’s that whole atmosphere and energy—get in a room and let that energy flow. We felt like teenagers again in a garage band. That came out in this record.” \nWagner repeatedly emphasizes the band’s drive to create “feel-good music\,” and the album is a testament to those good vibrations: “Love Me Tonight” is a gorgeous love song with silky smooth vocal harmonies; the funky “Jack Pot” could be the soundtrack to your next night out at the club or the walkout music for your next prize fight; “Why You Rat” will make you groove and laugh at the same time as Wagner clowns on a “ratboy” security guard who made his life difficult at his old apartment complex. \n“Our lyrics have always been light-hearted and making people smile and dance\, with that vintage retro feeling in mind\,” he says. “That’s what the Aggrolites are about. The great thing about skinhead reggae is as beautiful as the music sounds\, it’s also the most punch-you-in-the-face music ever\, too.” \n“Their tunes perfectly echo the human chemistry you can hear in those early Jamaican productions\,” says British reggae icon Don Letts. “The band’s old-school analog sound totally captures the spirit of the music I grew up on.” \n“The Aggrolites have stretched out\, and gotten it even more right\, at exactly the right time\,” agrees Lynval Golding\, vocalist/guitarist for Two-Tone legends the Specials. “This is the album.” \nFunctioning as free agents for the first time in nearly two decades\, the Aggrolites created REGGAE NOW! without a deadline in mind. Once they felt like the album was complete\, they didn’t have to look far for a partner: Bay Area label Pirates Press Records was at the top of their list. \n“I’ve known [Pirates Press Records owner] Skippy since I was 17\,” says Wagner. “Over the years\, seeing how much he’s progressed and knowing what kind of respect everybody has for him… He’s one of those people we trusted to know what to do with the Aggrolite name and image.” \nWith REGGAE NOW! ready to drop\, the Aggrolites will hit the road this summer for their first full U.S. tour in six years. Wagner says the band is excited to get back in the groove. \n“We’re passionate about reggae\, we’re passionate about our band\, and I don’t think we’re ever gonna stop\,” he concludes. “Everybody clicks right now. That’s why we’re calling it REGGAE NOW!—because this is us now.”
