The Funeral Portrait Post-Hardcore
Greetings from Suffocate City, The Funeral Portrait’s first full-length for Better Noise Music, expands the group’s mythology to new heights and dimensions with invigorating, authentic, and passionate anthems. Songs like “Alien,” “Voodoo Doll,” “You’re So Ugly When You Cry” (featuring The Used’s Bert McCracken), and the title track (featuring Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills) fuse the vibrant accessibility of Active Rock with the earnest honesty once screamed at the Warped Tour of the 2000s.
Steadily growing since the band’s formation in 2014, The Coffin Crew is a worldwide assemblage of devotees united in the shared catharsis of The Funeral Portrait’s music. It’s a tight-knit fandom built in the spirit of AFI’s Despair Faction, the MCRmy, the BVB Army, and Ice Nine Kills’ Psychos. It’s a diverse and welcoming community bound by perseverance through adversity and heartbreak.
Heralded as “the inspiring antidote to stagnant metalcore” by Alternative Press early into their career, the band eventually made their way onto SiriusXM Octane and episodes of All Elite Wrestling.
The Funeral Portrait is comprised of frontman and founder Lee Jennings, guitarists Cody Weissinger and Gareth Caulk, bassist Robert Weston, and drummer Homer Umbanhower. Some grew up loving Avenged Sevenfold and Papa Roach; others adored My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy.
The Funeral Portrait excels in the live environment, with visceral and heartfelt sets, as a headliner and while supporting genre titans like Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, and Skillet. They’ve been invited to perform at major festivals like Aftershock, Louder Than Life, So What?! and Inkcarceration.
“There are as many people in the hard rock radio audience that are lonely, sad, and going through difficulties as in the more underground-leaning fandoms,” Jennings insists.
“Our band is about standing up for weirdos and misfits. Because we are weirdos, too.”

Subheadline: Artists Steve Dininno and Vince Sansone Featured in November 2026 Exhibition
Chattanooga, Date: River Gallery (400 East 2nd St) invites you to their exhibition running from Nov 1 - 30, 2026, featuring cityscapes and still life paintings by Steve Dininno and ceramic sculptures by Vince Sansone.
Opening Reception: River Gallery’s opening reception on November 6, 2026, from 6-8PM, is free and open to the public. Meet artist Steve Dininno! Lite hors d’oeuvres and libations, courtesy of the Bluff View District, will be provided.
About the Exhibition:
Steve Dininno focuses on the present moment within his paintings, seeking to capture the immediacy of his responses to his environment. “My new works are a continuation of my desire to explore the deeper spirit of the towns and cities that have made an imprint on me. They’re like love letters sent to places I’ve been.”
Vince Sansone has this to say about his latest body of work. “I find myself trying to bring the soft, ethereal elements of drawing together with the weighty, bulkiness of ceramics. Resulted are two anthropomorphic concepts battling to the death and somehow finding a middle ground.”

Neko Case Pop
Every handful of years, Neko Case resurfaces with a new album and reminds listeners that she is one of our greatest living songwriters — perpetually becoming more fearless and adventurous. “She has cultivated one of the most distinctive voices in American song,” Stereogum declared. “Her albums unravel like musical picaresque: restlessly digressive, bluntly funny, strange — but never in ways you’d anticipate.”
The Grammy-nominated iconoclast’s ninth LP, Neon Grey Midnight Green, is her biggest-sounding and most intimate-feeling album yet. Released last fall to immediate critical acclaim and declared an essential album in her catalog, the album was laid down live with a full band. More “in the room” than any of her past work, even breaths and shirt-sleeve rustlings were kept in the final mix as a reminder that “humans were here.”
“There are so few producers who are women, nonbinary, or trans,” says Case, who identifies as gender fluid and uses she/her pronouns. “People don’t think of us as an option. I’m proud to say I produced this record.”
Today she is announcing a new run of ‘Neon Grey Midnight Green’ tour dates that begin this fall on the East coast and end with two shows in Case’s hometown of Tacoma, Washington.

Cigarettes @ Sunset Indie Rock
Cigarettes @ Sunset are carving out a new sound of their own, proudly calling it Possum Rock — a raw and soulful blend of Americana, Indie, Appalachian Folk, and Rock. Appalachian raised and hailing from Boone, North Carolina, the five-piece band channels the rugged beauty and resilience of their mountain roots into every performance. Frontman Garrett Dellinger (rhythm guitar, lead vocals), alongside Wells Whitman (bass, backing vocals), Ethan Moore (drums), Sarah Vann (violin, vocals), and Ryland Bagbey (lead guitar), craft a sound that feels both familiar and entirely new, weaving fiddle runs, gritty guitar tones, and heartfelt lyricism into something that defies genre lines.
Their hometown of Boone was deeply impacted by Hurricane Helene in 2024, a moment that reshaped the band’s perspective and underscored their commitment to making music that connects and endures. With Possum Rock, Cigarettes @ Sunset carry the spirit of Appalachia forward while pushing boundaries of what modern roots-driven rock can be. Whether on stage or on record, the band delivers an unfiltered sound built for sweaty venues, open fields, and anyone searching for something real.

Bowling for Soup Pop Punk
Easily one of the most enduring, recognizable, and entertaining bands in pop punk, Bowling For Soup have spent more than three decades proving that big hooks, bigger laughs, and an unwavering connection with fans never go out of style. Since forming in Wichita Falls, Texas in 1994, and later relocating to Denton, the self-proclaimed 9th Greatest Band Of All Time has carved out a career built not just on hit songs, but on consistency, authenticity, and an unmatched ability to make every show feel like a celebration.
If the sun’s out and Bowling For Soup are on stage, you’re in for more than just a concert, you’re in for a party. Their live shows have become the stuff of legend: packed with massive singalongs, spontaneous comedy, playful crowd interaction, and a level of energy that transforms even the largest festival stages into something that feels intimate and personal. It’s this unique blend of humor and heart that has kept fans coming back year after year.
Like many great bands, BFS earned their success the hard way. Through the late ’90s, they toured relentlessly in vans, playing anywhere and everywhere they could, slowly building a devoted grassroots following. Their breakthrough came in 2000 when “The Bitch Song” unexpectedly gained traction in the UK, opening the door to international success. What followed was a run of era-defining pop punk anthems, including the Grammy-nominated “Girl All The Bad Guys Want,” the nostalgic smash “1985,” “Punk Rock 101,” and “High School Never Ends”, songs that continue to resonate across generations.
Beyond radio and charts, Bowling For Soup embedded themselves firmly in pop culture. Their contributions include instantly recognizable theme songs for Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and Phineas and Ferb, as well as appearances across film, television, and soundtracks that introduced their music to entirely new audiences. Their ability to balance humor with genuine songwriting has made their catalog both fun and surprisingly enduring.
In recent years, the band have celebrated major milestones that highlight both their longevity and continued relevance. Their 30th anniversary was marked by sold-out tours across the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, alongside celebrations of the 20th anniversary of their breakout album A Hangover You Don’t Deserve. These tours didn’t just revisit nostalgia, they reinforced that Bowling For Soup remain as vital and engaging as ever.
In early 2025, longtime guitarist and founding member Chris Burney stepped away from touring due to health concerns, marking the end of an era for the band. While his presence is deeply missed, Jaret Reddick (vocals/guitar), Gary Wiseman (drums), and Rob Felicetti (bass) have continued forward, honoring his legacy while maintaining the spirit and identity that fans know and love. As they’ve said themselves: some roles can’t be replaced, only respected.
What truly sets Bowling For Soup apart is their relationship with their audience. Their fanbase now spans multiple generations, with original fans bringing their kids, many of whom already know every lyric. It’s a rare achievement, and a testament to the band’s staying power. Whether performing for a few thousand fans in a packed club or tens of thousands at major festivals, their chemistry, warmth, and comedic timing create an inclusive, spontaneous, and unforgettable shared experience.
Bowling For Soup continue to evolve while staying true to everything that made them beloved in the first place. Add in a strong and ever-growing social media presence, where their humor and personality shine just as brightly offstage as on it, and it’s clear that Bowling For Soup aren’t just surviving in today’s music landscape, they’re thriving in it. And with the band currently back in the studio recording their first new album since 2022, the best may genuinely be yet to come.
More than 30 years in, Bowling For Soup remain a band defined not just by their past success, but by their ongoing ability to connect, entertain, and bring people together. Pop punk may have changed over the years, but thanks to BFS, it’s still alive, still loud, and still one hell of a good time.
Ballyhoo! Pop
Through 25 years and eight independent albums, the last four on their own Right Coast Records, Ballyhoo! have earned the exclamation point which marks their name. Starting in the basement of their mom’s Aberdeen, MD, home, rocking out on guitar and drums respectively, practicing every day, brothers Howi and Donald Spangler formed the proto-punk band in the mold of Green Day and Nirvana, with an eye towards the emerging ska genre led by Goldfinger, Sublime, 311 and No Doubt.

Christone "Kingfish" Ingram Blues
Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a rare 21st century guitar hero and the undisputed future of the blues,” Christone “Kingfish” Ingram stands at the crossroads of history and innovation, channeling the spirit of the Delta while boldly reimagining what comes next. Now, with his new album, Hard Road, Kingfish looks back at his extraordinary GRAMMY® Award-winning journey thus far by lighting out for previously unexplored musical territory, infusing his signature sound with a genre-blurring approach fraught with creative urgency and heretofore untapped emotional range.
Executive Produced by Ingram and Ric Whitney for Kingfish’s newly minted Red Zero Records with production by Patrick “Guitar Boy” Hayes, Nick Goldston, and longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge, Hard Road is Ingram’s most sophisticated and musically ambitious collection yet, one which renews the long tradition of the blues by welding it to multiple strains of contemporary Black music. Songs like “Nothin’ But Your Love” and the fiery “Voodoo Charm” see Kingfish effortlessly uniting classic blues licks with hard rock, no-holds-barred funk, soulful pop, and velvety R&amp;B, all with resounding immediacy and astounding eloquence. With each album, Kingfish has upped his already prodigious game, not only in his breathtaking guitar playing but in the increasing strength of his deeply personal songcraft and vocals marked by a depth of expression well beyond his 26 years.
“I feel like this is one of the first times people will be seeing me outside of just the blues thing,” Kingfish says. “ I’ve always wanted to do music that showcases my voice and my songwriting as well as my guitar playing. And I feel like this is the first album that showcases this approach.”
A native son of Clarksdale, Mississippi — the de-facto Ground Zero for the Delta blues, just a stone’s throw from the fabled crossroads where Robert Johnson made his fateful deal with the devil — Kingfish’s six-string prowess first turned heads when he was still but a teenager. Though steeped in the tones of B.B. King, Albert King, and Buddy Guy, what set Ingram apart was how he expanded the form, blending in funk, soul, rock, pop, and jazz to create what has proven an evolving body of work that has drawn accolades, acclaim, and honors from all corners of the globe. 2019’s debut album, Kingfish, topped Billboard’s “Blues Albums” for an incredible 91 weeks and earned him his first GRAMMY® Award nomination, plus three Blues Music Awards, including “Album of the Year.” Kingfish followed up with 2021’s 662, titled after his hometown MS area code, which won both the GRAMMY® Award and Blues Music Award for “Best Contemporary Blues Album.” In 2023, the incendiary Live In London received yet another GRAMMY® Award nomination as well as his second Blues Music Award for “Album of the Year” and third consecutive triumph in the “Best Contemporary Blues Album.”
Having now seen the world and returned home irrevocably changed, Kingfish was determined to push himself as a songwriter, baring his soul and revealing new shades to his character. “Crosses” showcases Kingfish’s personal spirituality with a righteous roar of rock ‘n’ roll testimony while “Clearly” and the heartbreaking “Hard To Love” sees him reaching acceptance that the path he’s chosen for himself is strewn with both the highest of highs but also agonizing lows.
“I’m still learning this songwriting thing as I go,” says Kingfish. “I learned telling your story is the best story. I’m having more personal life experiences as I go and that plays a big part in the songwriting. I always try to get a little bit more personal than before. I have a journal pad here in the studio but most of the time I’m pretty much writing on my phone. The writing goes on in the studio, it goes on in the hotel room and on the bus. If the line comes, I’ll just jot it down in my notes. I feel like, for musicians, that part of us kind of never turns off.”
Dripping with lusty energy and bewitching sensuality, the slinky funk of “S.S.S.” expands the parameters of Kingfish’s music to incorporate other facets of his personal tastes. The elemental power of his guitar remains at the center, with its searing tone and squalls of blistering leads, but Hard Road makes unexpected stops at smooth R&amp;B, pop, and neo-soul, genres that tend to demand a bit more delicacy in their arrangements and instrumentation.
“In those genres of music, you have to be a little more restrained with your playing,” Kingfish says. “You have to tell a story rather than being all over the place. That’s a good thing, because it showcases another side of my playing, rather than people thinking that I might be a one trick pony when it comes to guitar techniques."
