Valdrin

Weight Shift

Elseetoss

Valdrin - The Cincinnati, Ohio-based group balances swords and sorcery imagery with tangible plot advancements, to the point that you can read the lyrics of their latest album, 2023’s Throne of the Lunar Soul, track-by-track and come away with the jist of it. However, that’d only be a portion of their appeal. Though the Valdrin lore is a traditional hero's tale, it’s recounted via a nostalgia-drenched melodic black metal tome.

Glyders

Two Planes

Formed in Chicago by partners Josh Condon and Eliza Weber, Glyders make maximal minimal rock & roll with nocturnal mystery pulsing in the mix, cutting above rigorous roadhouse fare with sounds that twist and grind on their classic inspirations. Joined by Joe Seger on drums, Glyders’ high lonesome way is mellow but nervy, hip-shaking and deep – a multicolored trip to the ongoing beat of American weirdness.

Their second LP, “Forever,” is out November 21st, 2025 on Drag City:
Forever’s spirit is high and tight, its sinews rumbling with communal joy as Glyders’ power-trio formation, in it ‘for life,’ grooves deep into their own thing. Shuffling the deck with road-tested jams, Forever hits with the energy of a first album – which it kinda is, now that founders Josh & Eliza have met their true other, the relentless traps-man Joe Seger. Forever starts now!

w/ Cheeks (Avl gothy doom surf) and Two Planes (post-rock shoegaze stoner)
