Baltimore's Cradle Is Casket formed in 2006 from the ashes of THE CLANCY SIX and WHAT THE FLOOD GAVE UP (AND WHAT IT TOOK). Here, vocalist Tracy, guitarist Luke, bassist Chas and drummer Sean return to the fundamentals of hardcore punk and '90s noise rock by stripping down their songs to the bare essentials, while adding an unrelenting, crushing heaviness that's almost doom in its approach. Since their inception, CIC have made a name for themselves sharing the stage with FIGHT AMP, TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION, DACTYL, DAATH, GOATWHORE and JUCIFER. Recommended for fans of THE MELVINS, KARP, UNSANE, BUZZOVEN and TODAY IS THE DAY.

Swamp Vulture are Toddst (bass/vocals), Chris (drums) and Sean from Cradle Is Casket on guitar. Hailing from the Mason/Dixon Line, this stoner metal trio are ready to blow the speakers out of your Camaros and Kustom Vans with their big, loud, fuzzy sound. They're the band blasting from a boombox at a tailgate party in the dismal swamp. Recommended for fans of KYUSS, SLEEP and THE MELVINS.
