Dead Pioneers + Petrol Girls

Having earned a louder than war 'album of the week' and opened for pearl jam, denver's dead pioneers are a ferocious punk band whose high-energy riffs and spoken word delivery channel indigenous rights, cultural erasure, and political resistance. Fronted by gregg deal, a nationally recognized indigenous artist of the pyramid lake paiute tribe, the band released wagon burner (hassle records, june 2026), their third and most expansive record yet. They play fast and loud, with a raw urgency that makes the politics feel visceral rather than preachy.

Ferocious, politically charged feminist post-hardcore from this london-formed, austria-based four-piece, built on fast, chaotic punk energy with unflinching lyrics addressing bodily autonomy, sexual violence, and systemic injustice. Signed to hassle records, their 2022 full-length 'baby' is their most recent album, and they've spent over a decade building a fierce, loyal following through relentless european touring.
