Guck is a swirling, bubbling, grinding mass that grows larger and hungrier with each passing day. The band formed in the spring of 2022 when guitarist Chappy Hull had just moved to Los Angeles and needed a place to store his Crate 2×12. Serendipitously, he met bassist Andrew Morrill and drummer Kyle Bray at a show, who offered to let him stash the amp at their practice space. Upon meeting up with synth wizard Sam Rogich to get the keys, Hull suggested the four of them get together in their now-shared practice space to play whatever unhinged ideas came to mind. This first meeting proved to be surprisingly fruitful, and they began getting together regularly to collaborate. After forming some songs and in search of a vocalist who could compliment the chaos, Rogich asked April Gerloff if they would like to try their hand at fronting a band. Gerloff, who had been primarily a noise musician and instrumentalist, was intrigued by the challenge.
Their first full length “Gucked Up” was recorded at Cave Studio in Glassell Park in 2024. The record showcases Guck’s uncanny ability to combine disparate elements from across genres and distill them into ear-shattering noise. Though seemingly at risk of coming entirely apart at the seams at any moment, Guck’s tightly locked rhythms and sense of compact songwriting keep it all under wraps, bolstered by jagged guitar riffing and chirping synth lines, all tied off with a strikingly absurdist sense of humor.
Guck is comprised of current and former members of Gnarwhal, Pile, Designer, Prized Pig, Sprain, Argentinum Astrum, and many, many others. Their music has been described as loud, deranged, jazz-damaged noise rock, and likened to licking a 9-volt battery.

Drums: John Roman
Of innumerable bands that traffic in dissonance, the musick of Pittsburgh, PA’s Microwaves shears clean and hot as an oxy-lance through the defenses of even the most cynical noise rock aficionado. In this iteration of the band, which has been in existence now for 20 years, core members John Roman (drums, vocals) and David Kuzy (guitar, vocals) round themselves out with 2006 alum bassist/vocalist Adam MacGregor on one side (“Pyroclast”), and founding bassist/vocalist Steve Moore (Film composer and member of Zombi, Lovelock, Miracle, and more) on the other (“Plasma”). Over the years, Microwaves continues to pick up the loose ends left by Voivod, MX-80, Snakefinger, and some of their own Pittsburgh-area “math-rock” contemporaries, twisting them into a Gordian knot that at once rages and confounds.
Microwaves’ newest LP, Discomfiture Atlas, features guest appearances by Eric Paul (Arab on Radar, Doomsday Student, Psychic Graveyard), Sarah Quintero (Spotlights), Rebecca Burchette (Exosus), and Todd Rittman (Dead Rider). Discomfiture Atlas will be available through Three One G Records on limited edition of 200 color vinyl, 300 black vinyl, and 50 cassettes, as well as digitally.
Who among us doesn’t long for a “do-over” of our wreck of recent history? Maybe it’s that attitude that accounts for the ascendancy of multiverses, parallel dimensions, the “Berenstain/Berenstein” debate, etc., in public imagination. Whatever the reason, contemplating other planes of existence is no longer exclusive to the hard sci-fi wonk set. Apropos of all the above, Microwaves manifests their own twin realities over the two sides of Discomfiture Atlas, its second album on San Diego’s vaunted Three One G records. Though distinct, both sides of the album, “Pyrocast” and “Plasma,” salt the band’s terse alloy of thrash metal, no-wave, brutal prog, noise-rock, and math rock with a hint of pop brevity, if not the melody to match.
Even at a curmudgeonly 20 years of age, (both versions of) Microwaves lean into the new material with the desperate enthusiasm of a 50-something peeling out in a midlife-crisis Corvette. Roman delivers his usual cyborg clatter, careening through odd meters and deconstructing rock drumming according to plans laid out by Beefheart and Devo. MacGregor complements with tortuous lines that invoke eastern melodic ideas at times, though they seethe with distortion and gurgle queasily through analog filtering. His vocal palette has widened to include an unhinged/unschooled falsetto and a Teutonic metal shriek, used to great effect on “Hammerspace” alongside Kuzy’s wavering, town-crier bark. Kuzy executes his trademark spindly atonalities with a draftsman’s precision, alternately ratcheting through all of the first-wave thrash-metal riffs he probably ever wanted to hear. Moore’s performances on side “Plasma” present a tighter and more reeled-in quality, focused on timbre and monolithic repetition over the flash of the past. In an all-time first for Microwaves, the standout “Your Dumb Guts” finds Moore serving up a vocal melody with stunning earworm potential.")

SQUID PISSER My Tadpole Legion from the My Tadpole Legion LP Available here: https://threeoneg.com/archive/vinyl/my-tadpole-legion

SQUID PISSER eviscerates the ego and and all things serene with their own vibrant form of vicious and mucky hardcore. Slamming down dolphin corpses at breakneck speeds, the duo, which is comprised of Tommy Meehan on guitar (Deaf Club, Cancer Christ, Sweatband Records, Cartoon Network) and Seth Carolina (Starcrawler), have constructed a fresh and mucousy new alien craft powered by tightly controlled noise-guitar, savage primal drum work, and gooped up vocal deliveries that might sound like a gaggle of frogs thrown into a garbage disposal (although the Squid boys wouldnt recommend doing this).
Conceptualized and formed in 2022, the band decided to fully utilize planet Earths viral slumber in order to gestate, write, and record 2 full length albums worth of material. Throughout the year, SQUID PISSER played a handful of shows in California and Nevada as a 2 piece as they continued the quest for further personnel and collaborators. Tommy Meehans tightly controlled noise-onslaught of rainbow vomit (spat out of a guitar amp via manic pedalboard wizardry and sophisticated finger work) paired with the utterly brutal, breakneck, and savage drumming of Seth Carolina, merge to create a collection of tracks that have been forged in a totally fucked and sonically chaotic storm of pus and goo.
Their debut release, MY TADPOLE LEGION, is a mutated smorgasbord of songs and guest vocalists from projects like: MELT BANANA, NEKROGOBLIKON, CANCER CHRIST, PUNCH, THE LOCUST, WACKO, and more. Also featured prominently is John Clardy of TERA MELOS on drums for 3 of the songs.
My Tadpole Legion was mixed by Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE, GODCITY STUDIOS) and mastered by Alan Douches (West West Side Music).")
