Blindstrike
Greenville grunge with a live presence that earns it
Blindstrike are a grunge band from Greenville, and they are in the early, hungry part of it. Playing Swanson's Warehouse and the Radio Room, opening bills alongside bands like The Indoor Kids and Razorgrave. The name fits the music and the moment: a band that arrived without much warning and intends to make some noise about it. The Upstate grunge scene is not a crowded place, but can not wait to see what this band can bring to the scene

Brass Tongue
DIY to the bone and Upstate Music Award winners before most people knew their name
Brass Tongue formed in Greenville in early 2022 and their debut EP, Dangerous World Demo, won the Upstate Music Award and made them a staple before most people could spell their name right. They are, by all accounts, a band that sets the tone.

Your Spirit Dies
Five people from small Southern towns who were never supposed to leave — Your Spirit Dies made it to MNRK Heavy and a national touring circuit anyway, and the music sounds exactly like that feels.
Your Spirit Dies came out of South Carolina carrying the weight of every small town that ever told someone to stay put and die quiet, and they have been refusing that directive loudly ever since. "We're five people who were born in small towns in the South," said vocalist Brandon Byars. "We were never supposed to leave these places; we were 'supposed' to live and die here. For us, the simple fact we're doing this is huge." Two EPs deep into the Greenville scene before signing to MNRK Heavy for their full-length debut, My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest.
Members: Brandon Byars (vocals), Tyler Dorman (guitars), Holden Hall (guitars), Keagan McChesney (bass), Brannon Crumpton (drums)

Reviler
High-energy, relentless, and built from scratch in a group chat — Reviler arrived in 2022 and became the heartbeat of Greenville's hardcore resurgence almost immediately
Reviler crawled out of Greenville, South Carolina in late 2022 with nothing but a group chat, some scrapped demos, and an agreement that the music would be relentless or it would be nothing. They've been making good on that promise ever since — playing two-plus shows a month, booking their own tours from the Carolinas down to Jacksonville and all the way to Puerto Rico, pressing cassettes by hand, drawing their own logos.
Members: Will Belue (vocals), Randall Rainey (guitar), Tyler Watson (bass), Brett Wilbanks (drums)

WVRM
They call it "grinding self-hatred" and mean every word — WVRM are Greenville's working class made loud, four men on Prosthetic Records who sound like the city's prettified downtown skyline collapsing
