Around this time last year I was lamenting the paltry state of post-rock-centric or at least post-rock-heavy festivals in the US. With Europe being covered by the likes of dunk!festival, VIVID, and ArcTangent,... Read More...

May 5, 2022

By now, Moon Tooth have garnered themselves quite a following in the progressive metal spaces. This is no accident; the scene is hungry for the kind of upbeat and unrestrained music that Moon Tooth is creating.
