Stress Orphan (NYC)
Stress Orphan is a band formed in Northern Virginia, honed in Baltimore, and perfected in New York City. Over 15 years, they have developed into a complex and tightly-constructed modern power electronics machine. An apex predator of the American scene. Concussive and suffocating deep space industrial. This is their first show in Northern Virginia in over a decade.

dedBoi (AKA Bodied)
Another face of the NoVA hardcore/screamo band Bodied, dedBoi brings the same raw emotion and intensity but with a different sonic pallet. Mutant synths and feedback loops collide with a primal pulse and throat shredding vocals to create a hybrid at the intersection of many styles of the most aggressive and cathartic aural art.

DOG SCREAM (Christiansburg VA)
Dog Scream are a noise/heavy electronics duo from rural Virginia, creating thrift store grand guignol spectacle at bracing volumes. Dog Scream are the sound that wakes you up at 3 AM, the smell of the inside of an old Halloween mask, and the last thing you’ll ever see.
