“Nice”—synthesizes the sounds of punk, hardcore, lo-fi garage,
and early grunge to craft a raw, undefinable noise all their own.
Hailing from Los Angeles, this four-piece channels the spirit of
rebellion through blistering riffs and Mimi’s visceral screams,
delivering biting commentary on capitalism, misogyny, and the
constructs that seek to confine us. With influences like Rudimentary
Peni, Crass, and Hole, Niis fuses rage and reflection into songs
that confront and provoke, like “Fuck You Boy,” an unflinching
anthem about navigating a male- dominated music scene, or the searing
"Tyrant," which demands liberation from oppressive systems. On March
28, Niis will release their highly anticipated new album, Niis World,
via Get Better Records. The album embodies their ethos of defiance
and empowerment, with tracks like “Low Life” exploring themes of
betrayal and resilience, and “Spite” rejecting societal archetypes
with lines like, “No longer will I exist in spite of you.” The
band’s relentless energy and sharp lyricism shine through,
cementing their place as one of punk's most vital voices. Since their
2020 debut EP Not Niis and their 2022 follow-up Must Be…, Niis
has shared stages with acts like Devo, Scowl, Gel, Bleached, Sheer
Mag, and Ceremony, and performed at festivals like SXSW and Punk in
the Park alongside legends such as Pennywise and Circle Jerks. Yet
no matter how far they push their sound, Niis remains deeply rooted
in punk’s core ethos of community and connection. With Niis
World, the band is set to remind us that true punk is about breaking
chains, speaking truth, and, above all, being “nice like Niis.”
Kent Osborne is a genre-defying artist who fuses aggressive punk rock
with hard-hitting rap, creating a sound that’s both chaotic and
captivating. Performing with just a drummer, Kent delivers a
minimalist yet intense live show, where his fiery guitar riffs and
rapid-fire lyrical flow dominate the stage. Buzzed Lightbeer, the
Dionysian fuzzy slop rock trio from San Francisco, is taking the
music scene by storm with their raw energy and unapologetic queerness.
Described as “the groovy, queer antithesis to Charlie’s Angels,”
this unholy trinity—Gabi, Ronnie, and Kendall—delivers a
blistering, over-the-top rock show that defies convention. Their live
performances are a chaotic celebration, with Gabi flinging themself
into the crowd, crawling on the floor, and exuding pure rock ‘n’
roll chaos. Their powerful bass lines, combined with Kendall‘s
relentless drumming and rock-solid rhythm, create the foundation of
their explosive sound. The shared vocal duties among the band members
add a dynamic range to their music, with Kendall‘s voice being a
favorite among fans. Ronnie’s guitar work blends punk, blues, and
heavy metal into a fiery mix. Their commanding stage presence and
iconic flower print dress make them a standout figure, as if they were
already gracing the cover of Guitar World. Together, they blur the
lines between genres, delivering a raw, infectious sound that
resonates with audiences. Buzzed Lightbeer embodies the spirit of
“2 BUZZED 2 CARE,” making every performance a memorable spectacle.
Their unique blend of talent, energy, and queerness makes them a
standout force in the San Francisco music scene, captivating
audiences and leaving an indelible mark wherever they play. From
