KINGS DESTROY

REIGN OF ZAIUS • TACKLESNATCH • GROWLER

Kings Destroy, NYC’s hybrid of stoner rock, doom and hardcore, unites musicians from many of the genres’ most prolific bands. Hailing from the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, KD features guitarists Carl Porcaro and Chris Skowronski from NYHC legends Killing Time, vocalist Steve Murphy from Uppercut, drummer Rob Sefcik formerly of Man's Ruin, The Begotten, Uppercut and Electric Frankenstein, and bassist Aaron Bumpus. With influences like The Melvins, Yob and Cro Mags, KD describes their sound as "brutal Sabbath heaviness with hardcore outbursts and disturbed vocals verging on the demented."

Amor Fati

KINGS DESTROY • THE BROUGHT LOW

THE MIGHTY HIGH • REIGN OF ZAIUS

Hailing from the Brooklyn, Kings Destroy features guitarists Carl Porcaro and Chris Skowronski from NYHC legends Killing Time, vocalist Steve Murphy from Uppercut, drummer Rob Sefcik formerly of Man's Ruin, The Begotten, Uppercut and Electric Frankenstein, and bassist Aaron Bumpus. The common bond? "An addiction to excessive volume, power and driving, distorted riffs." With influences ranging from Zeppelin and the Who to The Melvins, Yob and The Cro-Mags, KD describes their sound as "brutal Sabbath heaviness with hardcore outbursts and disturbed vocals verging on the demented."

Hard-rocking, outer-borough power-trio The Brought Low recently released their third full-length album, the aptly titled Third Record, to near-universal acclaim. The Obelisk called them "the best rock and roll band in New York" and The Big Takeover said "Previous albums have been excellent, but Third Record takes the group to a whole 'nother level, indisputably placing The Brought Low in the ranks of the Great American Bands."

The Mighty High are Brooklyn's #1 regressive-rock act... No ballads. No keyboards. NO ACOUSTIC GUITARS!

Reign Of Zaius play straight-up Ape-Rock.

Search And Annoy

Sweet Diesel was the band playing while the Lower East Side got gentrified and the second generation of NY hardcore kids grew up and got laid. Inspired into existence by grunge's first wave but always wearing their CBGB's matinee merit badges on their sleeves — and not above ripping off their favorite classic rock riffs — they played it loud and proud from 1992 to 1998, releasing records on Blackout!, Sound Views/Go-Kart and Vel Vel Records. At their peak you couldn't walk into an East Village bar without hearing them blaring on the jukebox and their shows were the best party in town drawing a mixed crowd of art school drop-outs, fallen straight-edge heroes, outer-borough graffiti writers, and hot college co-eds. Following the Black Flag touring ethos they played anywhere and everywhere, sharing stages and stealing beers from such disparate bands as The New Bomb Turks, Sheer Terror, Seaweed, and pretty much the entire Amphetamine Reptile roster, especially Unsane. After breaking up 1998 guitarist Ben Smith and drummer Nick Heller formed The Brought Low (Small Stone Records), while singer Nat Murray has played with The Monumentals and Another Saturday Night, and bassist Zack Kurland released music under the iODestroyer moniker. After laying dormant for 12 years they were asked to reunite and open for Supertouch at their also-highly anticipated reunion show and will be playing select shows as opportunities arise.

THE BROUGHT LOW

Outer borough champions of high-energy boogie rock, The Brought Low recently released their third full-length album, the aptly titled Third Record, to near-universal acclaim. Heavy music blog The Obelisk called them "the best rock and roll band in New York" and The Big Takeover said "Previous albums have been excellent, but Third Record takes the group to a whole 'nother level, indisputably placing the Brought Low in the ranks of the Great American Bands."

NAKED HEROES

"... they make their musical parents proud, rivaling The Black Keys or Black Sabbath. If you enjoy absolute chaos from a band that only has two members, then you are in for an experience when it comes to The Naked Heroes." --KEXP 90.3 FM Seattle
