Flagman
Founded in Orlando, Florida in 2015, Flagman is the crispiest, most deep-fried alternative metal band the world had ever seen. Channeling the eclecticism of the 90s rock scene with influences including Primus, System of a Down, and Mr. Bungle, Flagman’s sound is as familiar as it is puzzling. Through the almost unnaturally logical combination of vocalist Sam Stewart’s distinctive bass playing, drummer Grant Freeman’s driving rhythms, and sizzling guitar leads the band has managed to create a combination that’s completely unique.
Big Oaf
Metal trio mixing grunge, blues, doom, and sludge. Atlanta based and oftentimes shitfaced.
Tongues of Fire
Most bands fit cleanly within a genre but Tongues of Fire don’t. At their heart they are a punk band, their shows are unhinged, the music is straightforward and hard hitting, there is no trace of pomp or excessiveness but they are accessible and there is a well crafted feel to what they do. The production on their albums is clean and the instrumentals deceptively complex. They have many contemporaries and influences like Bloc Party, Slint, IDLES and The Fall of Troy but can’t be compared to them. Tongues of Fire are firmly themselves, and intent on moving the scene forward.
