Iress and Spirit Mother

Spirit Mother, a heavy rock band from Long Beach, CA, is known for their folk-informed, atmospheric sound with haunting vocals. Founders Armand Lance (vocals/bass) and SJ (violin) were later joined by Sean McCormick (guitar) and Landon Cisneros (drums). Praised for their debut album "Cadets," they signed with Heavy Psych Sounds Records and toured Europe in 2023, performing at Metal Days, PALP, and Sonic Blast festivals. Their style, likened to "languid grunge blasted into outer space," has earned them a growing fanbase worldwide.

Formed in Los Angeles in 2010, Iress creates a cinematic blend of metal, shoegaze, and slowcore. Known for intense live shows, the band features Michelle Malley's emotive vocals.
