FaceEater / Suroor / DURTNAP

FaceEater is an alternative rap project that began in 2025 with the goal of making loud-ass, scary music to play live for all of Chicago (and maybe the whole world one day). Their debut album, "FACEEATER", came out this past May. They plan on releasing an experimental rap mixtape later this year.

Suroor is your local Pakistani popstar raised in Karachi and now based in Memphis and Chicago, known for her electrifying and immersive live performances as well as her one-of-a-kind fusion of eclectic genres and influences from all over the world. Suroor makes music for the girlypop baddies to the hardcore punks, you’ll find yourself shaking ass one moment and moshing the next. Her genre is often described as industrial hyperpop, but draws influence from a wide range of musical genres like alt-R&B and digital hardcore, “creating a ‘seasoned smokers’ blend for people who are tired of commercial pop” (Issues Mag, 2025).

DURTNAP are a nu-metal core band. They are high energy and like to have fun as well as get the crowd engaged with their shows.
