YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO
EMERGENCY RULE – ‘CORPORATION’: “The end of all humanity!” These five words growled by Doug Clark, the bassist/ vocalist of Emergency Rule, embody a powerful message: the world feels like it’s on the brink of disaster and the leaders we entrust to help are failing miserably. Thankfully this quartet are here to scream about it. Imagine a collaboration between Black Sabbath, Mastodon and RATM – it reads like a fantasy, but that’s what this four-piece are fusing. ‘Corporation’ is their diabolical delight of energy that broadcasts the message we need to howl about.

Funky-jazz-metal-ska-disco for one EPIC night only. March 7 | Hindley Street Music Hall | Tickets
BORIS: Since 1992, Tokyo’s Boris have released more than 20 studio albums and nearly as many collaborative records, varying in sounds from sludge, drone, doom, and noise, to psychedelia and minimalist heavy rock.
