with Grumpster and Bug Bath If there’s one rule people should follow when approaching the DIRTY NIL, it’s this: Never tell them how to rock‘n’roll. Ontario’s Juno Award winning trio is a finely tuned rock machine that is at its best when the members are pursuing their penchant for thrashy riffs, bashed out drums, and levels-to-the-max volume. And on their fourth album, Free Rein to Passions, the band followed their instincts down to the note to produce their most authentic work to date. *** GRUMPSTER is a garage punk band from Oakland, California. The group consists of Donnie Walsh (he/him) on bass and vocals, Noel Agante (he/him) on drums and Lalo Gonzalez Deetz (he/him) on guitar. *** "BUG BATH is big guitar music from Reno, Nevada. Taking cues from bands like Archers of Loaf and Superdrag, to Jimmy Eat World and Teenage Fanclub; BUG BATH takes a noisy and feedback laden wall-of-sound approach to the grey area between emo, power-pop, indie-rock, and hardcore. Formed as trio in 2018, the group now performs as a revolving door sextet, drawing in players from across the west-coast DIY community. Their debut album "(bug bath)" was released august of 2022 on their own label, Egg Wash Recordings. In 2023 BUG BATH began working with underground metal and experimental taste-making label Transylvanian Recordings to release their 2024 EP, "World of Fools". BUG BATH has toured with Absinthe Father, Just Friends, and Sun Spots; and shared the stage with Jimmy Eat World, Yellowcard, Mom Jeans., Mannequin Pussy, Angel Du$t, Tony Molina, Scowl, and countless others."
