Dryland
Formed in 2014 from Pacific Northwest heavy-hitters Black Eyes & Neckties and Leatherhorn, Dryland is not a myth. Through catchy, driving riffs riding a cloud of crunch, Dryland will guide the listener along a journey to populate the sun in a distant plane once inhabited by the Crab People, now ruled by the Moss Lord.
Dryland exists somewhere in the space between Motörhead, Nick Cave, Red Fang, Danzig, and of course, Black Sabbath. Your mom will probably like them despite not liking "that kind of music."
They released their first full-length album, Self-Titled, in 2017. In December of 2018 Dryland entered the studio with producer + engineer Matt Bayles, the sonic wizard behind artists like Mastodon, The Sword, Pearl Jam and Isis.
Githyanki
Super heavy power trio from Seattle, Washington. Githyanki was formed in 2014.
