Fleischeslust

Fleischeslust is a four piece San Francisco based visual kei band founded in 2006. Their distinct look and sound ricochets from the far and eclectic reaches of jrock to the familiar fringes of local expression. The group is currently recording their first demo album and has been performing at clubs and conventions around the Bay Area.

Giving rise to the domestic VK movement; Fleischeslust takes to infusing industrial beats, thrash metal riffs, and somber explosiveness with the malevolence of an electric meatgrinder. With an eagerly awaited EP and the growing popularity of Japanese rock, Fleischeslust looks to spread its audio-visual madness to more and more receptive audiences.

Quarter Circle Jab

Quarter Circle Jab is a band from Fresno, CA that rocks music from video games of all genres. With a love for video games since young ages, the roots of Quarter Circle Jab were planted long before the bands creation in 2003. With a love for video games and later in music, the band members wanted to combine their two loves in life.

With influences from composers like Motoi Sakuraba, Nobuo Uematsu, Yoko Kanno, Yoko Shimomura, Yasunori Mitsuda, Keiichi Suzuki and Koji Kondo, the band wants to keep this style of “underrated” music alive and make a few people happy along the way!

Destroy All Operating Systems

“Destroy All Operating Systems is as intricate, as it is nonsensical. With the sole purpose of progression, they may confuse you time to time, but their message is clear. Art should to be original and meaningful in order to have value. The temperamental sounds they produce can make you feel all kinds of emotions.  Housing innovative techniques, Destroy All Operating Systems' sound is their own."

Gain To Lose

Gain to lose means a lot of different things. It means being on top when everything’s wrong, it means being yourself instead of just blending in. For four and a half years we’ve been making music playing shows and having fun.

We are a hardcore street punk band; we play fast aggressive music intertwined with slow up beat stuff as well.  We play some ska, some pogo, and street punk styles of music.

Our songs are mostly about life the good and bad, some things we don’t like about the world we are living in and basically an over open minded point of view. We all are totally against racism, fascism, and anything else that hold people down in a negative way. We as a band just like having fun and playing shows, there’s nothing we would rather do then to set up and play for some kids that want to listen to some punk.
