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.
