CHAIN CULT (Athens, Greece) channels inner anguish and the fallout of our capitalist hellscape into tightly wound, anthemic post-punk. A precise rhythm section cuts through a dreamy haze of interwoven guitar lines, while melodic vocals deliver sharp, urgent messages. Dark, direct, and unrelenting.

Iriamu is the multi-disciplined art project of Will Hamilton. In his music, Iriamu uses found sounds, everyday noises, synths, percussion, guitars, and the bass. He melds the “noises” creating sonic soundscapes to express emotions, and tell his story. A modern day Griot. Iriamu is the founder of the community driven, socio-political party, the Freak Flag Freedom Party. He is also a partner in the instrumental music festival, NoWordsATL.

NATHAN CHAMBERLAIN (he/him) is a Chicanx/Indigenous guitarist, curator, and composer who is based out of Brooklyn, NY. Chamberlain’s work actively engages the decolonization of jazz and improvised music, joining a tradition rooted in resistance towards white supremacy. Ken Waxman of jazzword.com has described Chamberlain’s playing as a “break through the commonplace for a memorable experience.”
