Founded in 2015 by Sam Stewart and Cody Singleton, Flagman has been churning out a steady flow of deep fried alternative metal that can only be rivaled by those trailblazers who first pioneered the sound. Wearing the influences of 90’s Schizo-Rockers like Primus and Mr. Bungle, along with wearing the heaviness and wacky irreverence of System of a Down on their sleeves, Flagman has forged a sound that is as unique as it is familiar. While performing on Audiotree Live, Flagman delivers a high-energy, eclectic performance that buzzes with experimental grooves and bass-driven aggression, leaving the audience eager for more. During their interview with Audiotree Host, Jason Nitts, the band chats about “deep fried southern metal”, the method behind their improvisation, and the influence of their hometown on their sound.

BRUTAL RIFFS. BROTHERLY LOVE. These words are the beating heart of Brotality, a band dedicated to the art of metal and the community it inspires. Inspired by classic and modern metal
alike, Brotality treads uncommon ground with every new release, all while bound in a proudly DIY ethos. Brotality has already made waves with their debut LP “Worldwide Desolation”, their
sophomore “The Woods Will End You”, and their most recent EP, “It Feeds”, and these “expertly crafted” (For The Rock) releases have been lauded by critics and fans alike for their “unique and
powerful vision” (Rock N Load). With unmatched passion at the forefront of their sound, the band cultivates a space of inclusivity and authenticity at the roots of all they do.
Since their inception in 2016, the guys in Brotality – brothers Bryce Maopolski (guitar/vocals) and Reece Maopolski (bass/vocals) along with John Haring (drums) have released two EP's,
multiple singles, and two full length albums. Their debut LP, “Worldwide Desolation”, has received countless rave reviews and landed on several "Best Albums of 2021" lists. Their sophomore album, "The Woods Will End You" won Reader's Choice Album of the Year on Metal Epidemic, Top 7 Thrash Albums on Scream Blast Repeat and spots on many other Top Albums of 2022 lists along with Bryce being honored with a spot on their Best Guitarists of 2022 list.
Brotality was also nominated for Artist Of The Year at the 2023 Steamtown Music Awards, Best Metal Band at the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Steamtown Music Awards, and Best Metal Band 2021
and 2022 for the Central PA Music Hall of Fame Awards. Their journey has given them opportunities to play well-known venues such as Bethel Woods Center for the Arts (where they preceded Deep Purple and Judas Priest), The Bitter End NYC, Hard Rock Cafe Philadelphia, several festivals such as a co-headlining slot at Exodo Fest in Tlaxcala, Mexico (a festival that has previously seen headliners such as P.O.D. and Norma Jean), Creation Fest, Uprise Fest, Lifest, and Stage West in Scranton, PA where they won the 570 Music Show's Best Metal Band award for 2019. This November they embark on their biggest tour yet,
supporting Fear Factory and Darkest Hour across the western U.S., including back-to-back shows at the legendary Whisky-A-Go-Go in Los Angeles.

Belushi Speed Ball are a Kentucky-based band founded in 2013 as a studio project amongst friends with a penchant for cliche crossover thrash. Their first live performances came soon after, enthralling a rapidly growing fanbase with a uniquely interactive brand of theatrics and unorthodox approach to releases and merch.Dubbed "one of the funniest f*cking things I have heard this year" by The Needle Drop's Anthony Fantano, Belushi Speed Ball are inspired by bands from Toxic Holocaust and Anthrax to Gwar and Municipal Waste, to whom they simultaneously play homage and satirize a mean comment from a fan in their song "Ripping off Municipal Waste", which was voted one of Leo Magazine's top 20 songs of 2022.With a reputation for both trashing venues and meticulously cleaning them up after each individually themed performance, Belushi Speed Ball are masters of executing the unthinkable.From playing out of a Mad Max-esque moving van and starting Terminator-inspired 300-person Nerf gun fights to releasing entire albums in N64 or Furby formats, nothing is sacred as they continue evolving as, in the words of Metalsucks, "a freakshow of blistering thrash dedicated to laughing its ass off at blistering thrash."This year, Belushi Speedball are readier than ever to keep that momentum going, with yet another album mastered to perfection by Chase Bensing, as well as a host of festival appearances, tours, and merch set to drop over the months to come.
