Kansas City, Missouri native, Matt Pryor, is a household name for anyone who was attuned to the second and third waves of emo. His genre-defining band, The Get Up Kids, were among a small and legendary group that has shaped the musical landscape for years. However, after growing tired of the boundaries it so needlessly applied, the internationally recognised frontrunners eventually transcended the genre with their later albums and found themselves at home with a more indie sound. Most recently, on his latest album under his given name, Matt Pryor has presented the world with The Salton Sea, and it is abundantly clear that this is the continuation of a decades-long love affair with music and being outright obsessed with song-writing. Steadfast fans of Pryor's prolific career will also find themselves treated to a style that is more reminiscent of the works of Paul Westerberg and Red House Painters, that is of course laden with Pryor's signature style, whose DNA is deeply rooted in artists like Elvis Costello and The Afghan Whigs.

Uncompromising low end violence. Fast, abrasive and nihilistic.

Quest Master is an Australian project that burst onto the underground 'dungeon synth' scene in 2017. Known for its nostalgic soundscapes reminiscent of 90s RPGs, the project utilizes classic digital tones from Yamaha and Casio keyboards. Its early works, including "Lost Songs of Distant Realms," "The Twelve Castles," and "The Twelve Temples," draw heavily from the soundtracks of early N64 and PSX games. In 2023, the project took a new direction with "Sword & Circuitry," embracing the lush, ethereal sounds of 80s synthesizer music. This project, led by Lord Gordith, continues to captivate listeners with its evocative and immersive compositions. Quest Master will be supporting his new album, "Obscure Power", out on Out Of Season Records.
