Website | Spotify | YouTube | Instagram Niis—pronounced “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.
