We are a progressive metal band from Chicago, IL, and have been making albums since 2011. Founded by Austin Peters (guitar), the current line-up consists of Phil Kalas (bass), Ken Stebliy (guitar), Luke Angle (drums) and Kyle Kunkler (synths). Our newest record, The Return of Inertia 2.0, is a follow up to our 2021 release (A Vast Field of Silence) and takes the listener on an exciting rediscovery of the music that put our band on the map. Beyond releasing records, we also stream on Twitch, run a Discord dedicated to music discovery and production, and create tone and producer packs for guitarists and producers on Gumroad.

Math and panic punk since 2015

LAVISHER is a space rock / velvet grunge band led by Chicago’s Gavin Cushman III. With a sound that nods to Queens of the Stone Age and A Perfect Circle, with hints of Deftones and Failure, LAVISHER conjures lush, distorted dreamscapes that swim in a river of riffage. LAVISHERS’s second full-length album Aligned & Vital delivers twelve diverse songs rooted in nostalgia and exploration. As they continue to carve their niche in the modern rock landscape, their message is clear: the future of heavy, heartfelt rock is here—and it’s dressed in velvet.
