LOMA PRIETA (us) Named after the 1989 earthquake that devastated Northern California, Bay Area band Loma Prieta craft a hardcore sound that straddles the line between melodic and uncomfortable as it merges styles like screamo and powerviolence into a potent blend. While grinding on the D.I.Y. circuit, playing self-booked gigs and crashing at fans' homes, they released their full-length debut, Last City, in 2008. After two more independent releases, they signed with Deathwish Inc. for their critically acclaimed fourth set, 2011's I.V., which pushed their sound into even heavier territory. Following 2015's Self Portrait, the band only released a pair of tracks in the lengthy gap before their sixth effort, 2023's Last.

ONLY (de) A screamo/post-hardcore band based in Berlin, Germany. Their music reflects the diverse cultural and musical backgrounds of the members, who hail from Venezuela, Scotland, and Italy. ONLY's sound is rooted in early 2000s screamo but draws from a wide spectrum of hardcore, straddling the lines between catharsis, aggression, melody, and dissonance. The band formed in late 2021. ONLY have since shared stages with some of the most influential acts in the screamo subgenre, including Pg. 99, Raein, Jeromes Dream and City of Caterpillar. They've become an active part of Berlin's thriving screamo scene and a growing community of bands across Europe.
