Royal Headache + Sheer Mag + Downtown Boys

Found on tastemaking label What's Your Rupture?, Royal Headache plays caffeinated garage-punk with killer hooks bathed in retro reverb. The Australian band plays with two explosively charged openers: bilingual crew Downtown Boys, which combines anti-colonial politics, urgent tempos and skronky sax into music that's equally thought-provoking and mosh-invoking; and Sheer Mag, whose blaring force and arena-sized aspirations make their defiant riffage and compact punk grooves stand out among the rest.
