We caught up with the empowering, progressive, pop-punk three-piece Meet Me @ The Altar on February 1 while they were performing in Cleveland, Ohio, to chat with them about diversity and the celebration of marginalized voices. Throughout the day we spent with MMATA and their electrifying… Read more »

Eartheater, aka Alexandra Drewchin, exchanged the progressive metal band’s signature harsh sonics and thrashy instrumentals for ethereal, whimsical choruses with subdued guitar strums and a euphoria-inducing conclusion.

Dead Club City, the band’s fourth LP, takes listeners on a journey to a dystopian, members-only community. The setting itself is a metaphor for the potential future of society: a warning, almost, envisioning the chaos and turmoil that will… Read more »
