SINCLAIR NOIRE

Sinclair Noire is an Austin, Texas-based gothic rock and deathrock trio featuring Ethan Stafford on vocals, guitars, and synths, alongside Jack Bandiera on bass and Von Dasa on drums. Known for a corrosive mix of darkwave gloom, post-punk, and industrial-tinged fury, they released their debut LP, Bone Orchard.

[MELTER]

[melter] comprises Robert Hyman and Jax Allos: a sonic disturbance made of flesh, blood, and machine.Their 2023 self-titled EP ranges from the jarring, distorted rhythms and menace of dark alternative rock and industrial noise, through to the brooding atmospheres of darkwave and grinding gloom. Onstage, Hyman’s propulsive battery of live drums drives the duo’s mix of electronics and heavy distorted bass; whilst Allos stalks the stage like some menacing hybrid of Peter Murphy’s more sinister sister, and an animatronic pterosaur that threatens to malfunction at any moment.

CRASH DAVIDIAN

Crash Davidian blasted onto the industrial scene and has made an impressive entrance, devastating dance floors all over LA with his incredibly catchy blend of industrial synth, electronic rock/pop, and bitingly clever lyricism. Reminiscent of old guard acts like Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode, he also holds his own with the upper echelons of modern gothic industrial acts like Curse Mackey or SINE.

VOLTAIC PLANES

Voltaic Planes is a dark dance duo from Chicago, drawing inspiration from other Darkwave artists like Boy Harsher, TR/ST, Linea Aspera and Keluar. In their music, they explore themes of loneliness, isolation, trauma, and anger, challenging you to dance through the dark times while embracing and learning from all that life throws at you.
