Bleed are an alternative metal/rock band from Dallas, Texas combining elements of 90s and early 2000s alt rock, grunge, metal and shoegaze. The band comprised of former and current members of Narrow Head at the time of their formation. On September 12, 2021 they dropped the 4-track EP Somebody's Closer. The band takes inspiration from Alice in Chains, Helmet, and Deftones as evident by their sound, and fit right in with the new crop of "grungegaze" bands like Soul Blind, Narrow Head, Trauma Ray and many others.

ASkySoBlack is a post-hardcore band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their music blends 90s alternative rock with elements of nu-metal, shoegaze, and 00s emo, and their lyrics explore themes of love, loss, and heartbreak.

UK alt-metal band Love Is Noise began its journey in 2021 as a collaboration between Humphrey and guitarist Tom Mellon balancing the ethereal and intense. While sonic signposts include modern day shoegaze as well as the likes of Glassjaw and Deftones, the band’s 2022 EP, Euphoria, Where Were You? (released on Fever 333 frontman Jason Aalon Butler’s 333 Wreckords) pointed towards a soul-crushing sonic heartache all their own. A string of singles led to the band inking with Century Media and beginning on their debut album which will release in 2025. Combining elements of metal, post-hardcore, shoegaze, alternative rock/pop and adjacent genres, Love is Noise should appeal to a wide fanbase of heavy and melodic music, for fans of Loathe, Glassjaw, Deftones, Moodring, and Blanket.
