STRZYGA - Portland musicians Daniel Gruska, Ben Dahmes, Joel Seaking, and Tripp Watson, formerly of Roselit Bone and Haunted Spurs, unite to create a distinct dark, gothic-inspired sound. Drawing inspiration from post-punk icons like Pink Turns Blue, The Chameleons, and The Cure, their music explores themes of historical mayhem, religious horror, and personal relationships with death and disease.
Nightsister - Portland’s NIGHTSISTER return with their latest EP Chill Times in Hell (July 2025) — an evocative synthesis of darkwave, industrial, post-punk, and electronic atmosphere. With its emotionally resonant vocals, distorted shimmering guitars, and brooding cinematic style, their music offers a modern take on gothic and cold-wave influences, resonating with fans of She Past Away, Haunt Me, and French Police. Previously acclaimed releases include Part of Me (2024) and Send Angels Here (2023).
