BANDSRETURN

Secret Secret (San Francisco)

Secret Secret's visual gothic allure creates a soidisant furore that is bewitching people all around this celestial body. Returning synthpop to the shadows from which it was spawned by artists such as Gary Numan, Xymox, and the Human League this dark troupe ignites the fire within your soul.

Come into the darkness...


Spanking Machine (Los Angeles)

The world is an abusive place. It's populated by defective beings who seek to gain power over others through non-consentual pain and manipulation - from the corrupt world leader who threatens you with violence to the controlling girlfriend or boyfriend who capitalizes on your fear of being alone. By listening to Spanking Machine, you can escape the human world and enter into a luscious land of endless erotic delights.


Neither Neither World (San Francisco)

Always exhilarating, but maybe somewhat frightful to the uninitiated Neither Neither World is a voodoo rite of passage at the end of reality. From the basement of the human soul where most people are too weak or fearful to tread this is where you'll find Neither Neither World.


Order of the Fly (San Bernardino)

A pox on all the pretties. Featureing Ghastly Jack creator Ralphie Replulsive on bass and vocals, Abby Normal on synths, Hessian on drums, and Count Demitri Von Damage on guitar. A high energy horror punk assault!


Flatline Transmissions (San Francisco)

Radiating from the land beyond Flatline Transmissions mixes heavy synths and guitar to bring forth their discoveries. Featuring The_gun on vocals, Deificar on guitar, and Johna on keyboards.


Mute Angst Envy (San Jose)

When Alice fell down the rabbit hole she was not prepared for the atmosphere, drama, and the unusually strong musical direction of this Joy Division influenced crew. Mute Angst Envy with the use of intertwining synthesizer and guitar create music that is more beautifully atmospheric than depressing.
