Earl Sweatshirt is the virtuosic byproduct of Los Angeles’ fertile ground where hip hop sowed its seeds and historic cultural movements were born. The prodigiously-gifted writer, lyricist and producer grew from a zeitgeist of which contemporary collectives in hip hop today are predicated. And while most movements are fleeting as soon as they arrive, Earl pushed forward, documented his growth and self-discovery on record and cemented himself as one of the foremost culturally relevant MC’s in the game, one who never strayed away too far from his Los Angeles beat-scene roots. His debut album Doris arrived in 2013 and introduced the world to a more realized vision from him than his seminal mixtape Earl that was released three years prior when he was just 16-years-old. He followed Doris with the critically-lauded I Don't Like Sh***t, I Don't Go Outside in 2015, further exploring the depth of his technical dexterity with more swagger than prior releases. Three years later, he released Some Rap Songs in 2018, the tightly wrought album that found a more self-aware and mature Earl in his reflection of being in the public eye since a teenager, coupled with the reconciling of the death of his father. Enter Feet of Clay, the conceptual 2019 project that continues the written narrative of Earl’s life in today’s societal landscape and world-view in real-time. Fast forward to 2022; Earl returned to the scene with critically acclaimed, SICK!

Brand new Swedish quartet thrown, fronted by ex-Grieved vocalist Marcus Lundqvist, drop their misanthropic debut single 'grayout', streaming now via Arising Empire.
Presenting lyrics filled with anger and self-hatred, the 4-piece effectively blends intense and crushing guitars with catchy yet aggressive vocal rythms. Without warning thrown aims to become prominent with their modern take on heavy music. With 'grayout' being the first step on making a new impression on the scene including the works of producer Buster Odeholm (who is also the drummer of the band) and music video director Lucas Englund (Parkway Drive, Architects) thrown brings their A to the game from day one and we're all here for it. Vocalist Marcus Lundqvist is joined by Johan Liljeblad and Andreas Malm on guitars, and drummer Buster Odeholm (Vildhjarta/Humanity's Last Breath) as thrown aim to spread their message of self-loathing through their mix of gut-punching metalcore and anger-inciting hardcore. With ambition already pushing the band to seek out touring opportunities throughout 2022, it'll be no time before thrown have you singing a long and bursting all your energy in the pit at a live show.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/154703/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

After two studio albums and nearly seven years as a band, Free Throw is making a significant change to their identity. The group — who has sung openly of personal struggles related to substance abuse and body image — is holding nothing back on What’s Past is Prologue, their third full length record, due out March 29, 2019 on Triple Crown Records.
Past releases may have provided small glimpses into Free Throw’s history as a band and personal lives outside of music, but What’s Past is Prologue is the group at their most forthcoming. The 12 tracks contained on the album detail the continuing mental health struggles of lead singer Cory Castro, and serve as a complete story of what happens when you decide that everything in your life needs to change.
“This album is very much about me hitting rock bottom from a mental health standpoint and the process I took in building myself back up,” Castro explained. “With the last record, I was trying to talk about my mental health, but at the time I was actually going through it. The last album felt like I was yelling from the void. This time I’m looking back into the void and I’m able to understand what was going on.”
The beautiful anguish that often comes with personal growth and an unexpected reckoning of self is palpable from the album’s outset. Beginning with “Smokes, Let’s Go” — a track of transition that features surprisingly delicate vocals and simple strings switches to impassioned shouts and furious instrumentals — Free Throw lead us out of the darkness and into the light.
As Castro explains, the record is split into two parts. The first half of What’s Past is Prologue explores the weight of personal blame, with singles — including the gunning and practically unstoppable “Tail Whip, Struggle” and the limitless, swaying tenderness of “Stay Out Of The Basement” — setting the stage for an impactful finale. As the album nears its conclusion, “Today Is Especially Delicious” provides a tumultuous turning point, with the band tearing through Castro’s shouted confession of “Is this what I had planned for my life/I need a hand of some type to pull me up and break this cycle of drinking for breakfast.”
That frank sincerity propels the album forward, and serves as a catalyst of change for the band. As a group, Free Throw has consistently turned their darkest days into moments that fans can sing and dance-along to, and for the first time, the band has arrived at this place where it’s all coming together, and maybe this is really only just the beginning. “This is the first Free Throw record with a happy ending,” Castro said. “The album leads to an ending of where the band stands today. We’re all happy to be doing what we’re doing, and it’s kind of the happy moment where we’ve become the band we were always meant to be.”

Here in 2026, Dogstar is clearly All In Now. After 20 years of silence as a band, this California-based power trio – guitarist and lead singer Bret Domrose, drummer Robert Mailhouse, and bassist Keanu Reeves – surprised many and perhaps even themselves when they returned in fine form in 2023. Only a few years later, Dogstar is returning with its 4th studio album full of strong new songs that leave no doubt they’re back for good with a powerful sound that is bigger and better than ever before. “Our last album was our ticket into a party,” says Bret Domrose. “And now we’ve shown up to the party.” Dogstar is a group of three friends who have slowly yet surely become a band of brothers who are excited to get back on the road this summer, including a 25-date “All In Now” North American Tour. As Reeves says, “For me, the attitude was like, ‘Let's work hard and let’s GO.’” All In Now is the most vivid reflection of the passion and chemistry that has been driving Dogstar’s heartfelt rock &amp; roll dreams from the start. For Mailhouse, “The whole album may not hit quite as hard as the title track, but it really sets up the energy at the heart of this album.” Dogstar credits producer Nick Launay – whose long track record includes everyone from Midnight Oil to Nick Cave to Amyl and the Sniffers – with bringing a new sense of energy to All In Now. On record and onstage, prepare to have Dogstar turn your head around in a new way with All In Now.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/162634/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Demola (also known as “Demola the violinist”) is a musician, singersongwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and an award-winning an internationally acclaimed violinist, recording artist, and electrifying live performer known for redefining the sound and cultural perception of the violin in contemporary music. Fusing classical technique with Afrobeats, pop, R&amp;B, hip-hop, gospel, and cinematic orchestration, he has built a global brand that positions the violin at the center of modern mainstream entertainment.
Born in Nigeria and later expanding his career to the United States, Demola began teaching himself the violin at a young age, quickly distinguishing himself through discipline, passion, and stage charisma. His early foundation in classical music gave him technical mastery, but it was his bold decision to blend African rhythms with Western contemporary sounds that set him apart.
Rather than confining the violin to orchestras and concert halls, Demola brought it to arenas, festivals, churches, corporate stages, and global streaming platforms—making it cool, expressive, and culturally relevant to a new generation.
A defining hallmark of his career is his worldwide sold-out tours. He is currently on his 4th headlining tour titled “D Fearless Tour 2” (which started in December 2025). Demola has headlined and produced international concerts experiences across Africa, Europe, North America, and beyond, consistently drawing thousands of fans. Each city becomes more than a concert—it becomes a movement, celebrating culture, excellence, and the elevation of instrumental music on a global stage. He has a rich Afro-sound new age singing voice that is so peculiar and nostalgic.
His album “One In A Million” (which includes Lova, Mbappe, YGMC, One In A Million, Ma Boo) showcases his voice and violin blend peaked at number 7 in the world music genre on Apple Music worldwide. This album has garnered millions of streams and the songs are choruses on the lips of his fans worldwide.
In 2024 &amp; 2025, he made waves with his collaborative viral amapiano song “FORGIVE OUR TRESPASSES,” which was a global hit and was highlighted at Lollapalooza, Coachella, and many other festivals across the world. In fall 2025, he released his highly anticipated amapiano album:
“D Fearless” and followed up with cover album “Classics with Demola: 80’s RnB &amp; Pop, Vol.1” which has been highly circulated by fans and amassed millions of streams globally. Demola is a fan favorite, performing for national and local television including Good Morning America, ABC News, Fox news, and many more. Aside from being a musician, he is the first artists of his kind fusing the various timbres of Afro-beat, the colorful sounds of Reggae, R&amp;B, Reggaeton, Jazz, a bevy of buoyant pop tones, and the animated bounce of hip-hop while coherently blending it all together with the EUPHONIOUS MELODIES OF HIS VIOLIN. He is a trailblazer and he is changing the face of music worldwide.
Adored by millions across the world, internationally recognized multi-genre violinist &amp; award-winning artist, “Demola the Violinist” brings his electric personality and musical talent to any stage. Fusing the various timbres and genres, including Jazz, Classical, Rap, Country, Rock &amp; Roll … and his Own ORIGINAL SONGS, he has made a name for himself and his artistry bridging the gap between traditional classical music and contemporary sounds. Demola was the official violinist for many award winning, legendary R&amp;B groups including Tony! Toni! Toné! and Dwayne Wiggins from 2018 – 2022. In 2024 Houston he had a collaborative performance at the Houston Rodeo with country music award winning sensation with Jelly Roll. Over the years, he has performed for presidents, dignitaries, major brands, and international audiences, solidifying his reputation as one of the most dynamic live violinists of his generation. Notably, he performed the National Anthem for every major American Sports Teams (baseball, American football, soccer, basketball etc) in his home Houston Texas, this includes Houston Astros, Rockets, Dynamo and Texans and he also has performed for the Atlanta United, Atlanta falcons etc packed with stadiums of over 75,000 people. Whether commanding massive arenas or delivering intimate acoustic moments, Demola’s performances blend technical brilliance with emotional depth.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/154705/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Bright Eyes began in 1995 in an Omaha basement as a recording moniker for a then 15-year old Conor Oberst’s work with producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis. Mogis and composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Nate Walcott became fully fledged members in 2006.
Over the last two-plus decades, as Bright Eyes has released one after another time capsule LP’s – urgent dispatches from transcendent, fleeting eras of our collective lives – they’ve also simultaneously been assembling a robust, mature, narratively cohesive discography. Bright Eyes' impact and influence has been significant throughout pop-culture, appearing in countless films and television shows, their songs covered by dozens of artists including Lorde, The Killers, Mac Miller, Phoebe Bridgers, Jason Mraz and beabadoobee, and sampled by rappers like Young Thug and Lil Peep. For a band that’s often been perceived as an outlier, the depth, breadth, and impact of the Bright Eyes canon is remarkable.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/154706/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
