EP 2- BLACKCRAFT SHOW (UNSIGNED BANDS)

Dive into the underground with us as we uncover six criminally underrated unsigned bands from across the US and UK. This episode is a musical treasure hunt that will reward your ears with fresh sounds from artists who deserve far more than their triple-digit monthly listener counts.

From Chicago's Gina Marie with their nostalgic Hot Topic emo vibes to The Discussion's atmospheric post-punk soundscapes out of Los Angeles, we're spanning genres and geographies to bring you the best under-the-radar talent. Welsh metal duo C'est la vie brings an explosive blend of traditional metal with goth and electronic elements, while Maryland's Omen Sky delivers mid-2000s metalcore nostalgia that would feel right at home on Mayhem Festival stages.

Be sure to listen all the way through for NYC's Monolith Zero with their existential metal anthems and Tampa's Soul Fade, whose raw emotional heaviness hits like a punch to the gut (or as our hosts might say, "punches you in the nuts"). What makes this episode special is the stark contrast between these bands' incredible quality and their shockingly low streaming numbers – something we're hoping to help change.

These discoveries are part of our upcoming Battle of the Bands competition, where two fan-voted artists will compete live on Whatnot on May 29th for a $1,000 cash prize and a $1,000 Black Craft Cult gift card. Head to patreon.com/blackcraftcult to vote for your favorites and help determine which bands make it to the final showdown. The best part? Voting is absolutely free, so you can directly impact these deserving artists without spending a dime.

entrepreneur standpoint, I'veever done in Black Craft history
, or Bobby Shabinsky's history.
It's been Black Craft Coffee.
I'll be honest, though, likethere's certain flavors, I'm
kind of weird about flavor.
I like just my coffee, justblack.
I'm really weird about it.
I like it just black now,however.
Now, however, ronnie makes thebest coffee ever and I like when
