Through balancing even the most extreme dynamics, The Plot In You consistently overturn and upend expectations. On any given track, it might seem like they’re about to go one way, but the band will turn on a dime and shift course before the crowd can even catch a breath. This uncanny element of surprise has entrenched the gold-selling Ohio quartet—Landon Tewers [vocals], Josh Childress [guitar], Ethan Yoder [bass], and Michael Cooper [drums] — on the cutting edge of rock music. Whether it be threads of alternative, electronic, pop, or R&B, nothing is off limits, and everything is fair game for their creative process. That process has continued to morph. Following a series of fan-favorite releases, the band made major waves with DISPOSE [2018]. “FEEL NOTHING” surged on social media as a viral phenomenon, generating hundreds of millions of streams and picking up a gold certification in the U.S., Canada and Australia. The musicians only maintained this momentum with Swan Song in 2021. Hysteria rated it “9-out-of-10”. Simultaneously, they sold out shows coast-to-coast. 

During 2023, the band kickstarted another era with Vol. 1. “Divide” having generated 16 million Spotify streams and counting followed by “Left Behind”, exploding to the tune of 31 million Spotify streams with no signs of slowing down. Upon the arrival of “Forgotten”, Revolver praised it among the “6 Best New Songs Right Now.” The Plot In You's Vol. 2 EP is a powerful showcase of the band's evolution, blending raw emotion with polished musicality and stands as a testament to The Plot In You's growth and artistic maturity, captivating listeners with its intense yet introspective narratives with tracks “Closure”, “Don’t Look Away”, and “All That I Can Give” further solidifying their place as one of the genre's most compelling acts.

Now with the impending arrival of their new EP, Vol. 3, the band is set to captivate fans once again. Featuring three compelling tracks, the lead single "Been Here Before" explores the emotional turbulence of relationships, weaving a narrative of enduring the highs and lows. "Spare Me" delves into the heavy burden of societal pressures and the palpable guilt that comes from feeling helpless in the face of overwhelming news. "Pretend" offers a raw look at the world's current state, channeling a sense of disillusionment and examining the disengagement of looking away from the tragedies that are happening daily. Vol. 3 promises to be a powerful addition to the band’s discography, reflecting their knack for tackling profound themes with sincerity and intensity.

Northlane’s new offering, Obsidian, is their most expansive and dynamic album yet. Self-recorded and self-produced with the help of their longtime collaborator Chris Blancato, the sound Northlane have been working towards over the span of their career has been fully realised on Obsidian. Sonically spanning the gamut of their entire discography, Northlane’s trademark heavy comfortably coexists with techno, drum and bass, intriguing synths, perplexing time signatures and widescreen choruses. It's this fearless evolution that keeps Northlane light years ahead of everyone else in heavy music.

Amid a generation gripped by loneliness, fear, and a desperate concern for the state of the world, Invent Animate are grabbing fans by the hand and choosing to walk with them.

There’s a sense of duty among the band – comprising vocalist Marcus Vik, bassist Caleb Sherradan, writing member Trey Celaya, drummer Brody Taylor Smith and guitarist Keaton Goldwire – to bare their own pain and tragedy for their listeners, indeed creating a safe, familiar place for listeners to process their own. It’s this deeply empathic and concerned approach to their output that sets Invent Animate apart, and has seen the band develop a close knit, cult-like following over their 10 years together.

“I think what’s really important to our generation of music consumers is finding something beautiful out of all the chaos,” shares bassist Caleb. “It’s important to us – we’ve got a lot on our plate, life is weird, life is hard – but we’ve come to understand how important it is as artists to be there with our listener, to be vulnerable ourselves so they might be able to say, ‘thank you, you guys helped me articulate this’ or, ‘you guys helped me walk through this journey’ because of what we’ve created.”

Stationed across Texas, Colorado and Sweden (following Vik’s recruitment in 2019), Invent Animate are now in prime position to break new ground on their new label address. Now rubbing shoulders alongside a plethora of previous touring partners including Silent Planet and ERRA, and Spotify “sounds like” mates such as Like Moths To Flames, Void Of Vision and Thornhill, the four-piece perfectly complement the UNFD roster with their blend of ambient metalcore, djent and prog.

Windwaker tear at the seams of their sonic boundaries, refining and finessing their craft into something truly unique. Emerging out of Melbourne, Victoria, the Australian outfit have grown a dedicated and passionate fanbase, amassing millions of digital streams since their inception in 2017. Last July’s release, “SIRENS”, has cracked over 3 million Spotify streams in under a year and saw the band travel across the nation in celebration on the ‘Love In The Dark’ tour with Caskets (UK) and alt., selling out nearly every date.

Windwaker’s latest extended release, ‘HYPERVIOLENCE’, out now via Cooking Vinyl Australia and Fearless Records is the evolution of the group’s fresh and unique sound. ‘HYPERVIOLENCE’ plays into each individual member’s strengths and influences, breaking new ground and extending the confines of modern metalcore with a potent mix of hip hop, EDM, hardcore, hyper pop and alternative rock.

The band’s debut album ‘Love Language’ released in 2022 via Cooking Vinyl Australia & Fearless Records, demonstrating an undeniable exploration of love. Windwaker translated their electric and eclectic energy to the live stage, touring alongside some of metal’s most favoured acts— Beartooth (US), I Prevail (US), Motionless In White (US), Enter Shikari (UK), Caskets (UK), Northlane and more. The new year has welcomed Windwaker with open arms as they slayed Knotfest Australia in March and embarked on their first ever North American Tour through June/July with Northlane, Invent Animate and Thornhill.
