upcoming events.
Sesame w/ Emily Grimm, Tower of Pines, Tunnels
Straight out of Raleigh/Durham, Sesame has been making waves in the DIY circuit with their visceral brand of screamo and emoviolence. Known for intense performances, the trio consisting of Zeo Benedetti, Ashton Lundi, and Aiden Sheehan delivers a sound that balances beautiful, melodic tension with chaotic outbursts.

High Contrast Drawing Group
Every week, our drawing night turns into a low-key creative magnet—five bucks at the door or toss something into the potluck pile (snacks and drinks always welcomed like royalty). For two years straight, this meet-up has pulled in everyone from heavy-hitter artists to folks just picking up a pencil for the first time. No pressure, no assignments, no ego—just a chance to draw, hang out, swap ideas, and be around people who actually get why you’re obsessed with making things. Happens every week on, exclusively at EYEDRUM. Good vibes only!
Hostage Pit, Powerwasher, Penny Loafer, Split Silk
Hostage Pit, Powerwasher, Penny Loafer, and Split Silk hit eyedrum on March 20 for a stacked night of noisy, sharp-edged, underground rock sounds. With doors at 8 PM and music starting at 8:30 PM, this one brings together a strong mix of Atlanta-area bands alongside a killer Baltimore band for an affordable S10 show.
Melissa Harshman “A Delicate Balance”

Destroy All! Humans, Don’t Fear the End, Tower of Pines, Salems Kin, Daimora
Destroy All! Humans (Texas): These guys are high-octane Slam/Deathcore. They lean heavily into the "whitebelt" aesthetic—think chaotic, ironic, and very aggressive. They recently put out The Grotesque & Arabesque (late 2025), and they are known for tracks with "scenecore" titles and crushing breakdowns.

In Memories, Stress Spells (NJ), .22LR, Sects (CHI), Mail (CHI), How to Set a Fire and Why
Eyedrum hosts an explosive six-band bill that surveys the landscape of modern screamo and hardcore. The night moves from the chaotic, mathy precision of New Jersey’s Stress Spells and the high-velocity grind of How To Set A Fire And Why to the expansive post-hardcore textures of Chicago’s Mail and Sects. Balanced by the visceral weight of In Memories and the sharp, abrasive aggression of .22LR
Monday Night Creative Music Series: Tatsuya Nakatani
Tatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde percussionist, composer, and artist of sound. Active internationally since the 1990s, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings and tours extensively, performing over 150 concerts a year. His primary focus is his solo work and his large ensemble project, the Nakatani Gong Orchestra. He teaches master classes and lectures at universities and music conservatories around the world. Originally from Japan, he makes his home in the desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. With his activity in new music, improvisation, and experimental music, Nakatani has a long history of collaboration.
Nakatani's distinctive music centered around his adapted bowed gong, supported by an array of drums, cymbals, and singing bowls. In consort with his personally hand-carved Kobo Bows, he has spent decades refining and developing his sound as an arrangement of formations of vibrations, incorporated in shimmering layers of silence and texture. Within this contemporary work, one can still recognize the dramatic pacing, formal elegance and space (ma) felt in traditional Japanese music.

Discontent, Fragmentation, Seasons End, Arkestra, Drawn To Blood
Hailing from the heart of the New York hardcore scene, Discontent has quickly built a reputation for delivering a visceral, "hardcore to the bone" experience that bridges the gap between classic heavy hardcore and the dark intensity of death metal. Often associated with the Streets of Hate roster, the band is known for a sonic profile defined by filthy, muddled guitar tones and pummeling, 90s-inspired production that hits, as fans describe it, "like a truck."
Dead Butterflies, Porcelain Stars, Open Carry State, Hambear, Current Vision
Dead Butterflies is an electronic screamo band emerging from the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. Combining raw intensity with moments of haunting beauty, their sound of brass and piano mixes with the harsh vocals and guitars. Dead Butterflies is modern DIY emo revival, creating something that feels both nostalgic and painfully current.

Adéwálé Adénlé UNSETTLED Closing with Artist Talk
Adéwálé Adénlé explores dual realities and logics in socio-cultural-political constructs and systems, arriving at a three-dimensional painting that vastly engages the viewer to unload and search for multiple logics in its interpretation. Within these dualities, he induces metaphorical slippages in relationships . . . MORE

Advance Base, Moontype, Hill View #73
Advance Base is the melancholic soft rock recording project of Chicago singer/songwriter Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Using a two-handed arsenal of electric piano, Omnichord, samplers, effect pedals, and drum machines, Ashworth builds minimalist, heavy-hearted, and nostalgia-obsessed ballads around his conversational baritone. The warm, electronic sound of Advance Base has been described as "lo-fi," "depressed," and "weirdly uplifting."
Moontype crafts "life-affirming" indie rock that balances vulnerable, earnest songwriting with whiplash-inducing arrangements, blending a woozy, reverb-heavy atmosphere with the technical precision of improvisational jazz.
Hill View #73 The recording project of Atlanta-based songwriter Awsaf Halim, Hill View #73 blends intricate electronica and video-game-inspired drum loops with fuzzy, "bedroom-fidelity" indie pop.
