Fear no more, freaks—Edging is here to liberate you. Armed with crushing riffs, honking sax, and unapologetic queer chaos, Edging turns punk into catharsis. Their songs dig deep into the mess of modern life—mental health battles, trans and queer identity, societal collapse, and the beautiful rage that comes with it. What emerges is an eruption of sound and sweat: a live show so electric it borders on religious. The world is burning—might as well get Edged while it goes down.
Tetchy’s music doesn’t so much create a sound, as it creates a place. A place to radically feel. Somewhere that trauma is laid bare, smashed to pieces and then reconstructed through audacious freedom and unabashed pleasure. Perhaps the defining aspect of the burgeoning Tetchy lore is that vocalist/guitarist Maggie Denning is, “someone who has very big feelings”. From the band’s earliest releases, her songs have been repositories of visceral emotion; from unshakeable heartbreak and soul-crushing grief to delirious joy and brazen lust.
Amongst these highest highs and lowest lows, Tetchy craft a world of whispered hushes that explode into eviscerating screams, and ambient space that gives way to bludgeoning walls of sound. A home to embrace one’s good chaos and to work through bad thoughts.
Pulling up in a grimy minivan at the corner of No Wave and Hard Core, Muscle jumps out the side door naked and swinging. Since 2019 the Baltimore outfit has sharpened their stripped-down, grinding approach to noise punk in pizzeria basements and DIY spaces across the city, the drum and bass combo of Adam Farkas and Quentin Gibeau screeching and rumbling beneath frontwoman Madison Coan’s powerful vocals. Alternately confrontational and comedic, coy and furious, Muscle pulls no punches in their hot-blooded pursuit of a good time.
Presented by Sleeping Village.
