NIGHT DEMON from Ventura County (just north of Los Angeles) have recently signed with Century Media for the world outside of Europe for an early 2015 release. The three-piece heavy metal act is currently on tour with legendary NWOBHM band, Raven with a long string of dates that go into the holiday season. See dates below.
Michigan punk/metal misfits CHILD BITE are pleased to unleash the noxious fruits of their Strange Waste EP later this Fall via Housecore Records. Spewing their self-proclaimed “music for losers,” the nine-track Strange Waste — recorded at Russian Recording in Indianapolis, Indiana and produced by the band — finds CHILD BITE in full-throated pigfuck mode, pulling from various extreme ends of metal, noise, and hardcore without falling squarely into any of those genres. Instead, CHILD BITE boasts something altogether different and original. Refusing to slide comfortably into your music library, CHILD BITE can lurch from synth-driven punk to yelping, sax-soaked art-rock to thundering, ugly sludge....

This time, Palms, Chino of the Deftones side project (of who can keep count at this point), was rolling through town, and I simply had to go! The under card was local band Murrieta, and mid-show Boyfrndz (terrible spelling theirs).
