Eyehategod and Dwarves

EYEHATEGOD, formed in New Orleans in 1988, delivers raw, sludge-punk music rooted in anger and disenchantment. Founded by Jimmy Bower and Michael IX Williams, the band is known for albums like *Take as Needed for Pain* and has toured with Black Label Society and Napalm Death.

The Dwarves, formed in Chicago, are known for their crude, high-speed punk rock led by Blag Dahlia and He Who Cannot Be Named. Notorious for wild antics, they gained fame with 1990’s "Blood Guts & Pussy." Their sound evolved in albums like "Sugarfix" and "The Dwarves Invented Rock & Roll." The band worked with artists like Dexter Holland and Nick Oliveri and released music on labels like Sub Pop and Epitaph. Their provocative style maintained a cult following despite controversies.
