MERCY KILLING

by PICKAXE

DC female fronted four-piece that melds years worth of loneliness, tragedy, addiction, political upheaval and lost love into a provocative and punishing Post-Hardcore soundscape influenced as much by the storied punk scene of the band’s hometown as grunge and metal of the members’ youths.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl

by Shooting Daggers

Shooting Daggers are just as fierce and committed in what they believe in as how they play. Their lyrics speak about the injustices that Queer, and Women face in a cis men's world (and in the music industry) and also animal liberation.
