About Teen Mortgage:

Listen | Watch Video

Washington DC’s Teen Mortgage climbed from the city’s primordial punk soup in 2017 after guitarist/vocalist James Guile relocated to the nation's capital from Liverpool, UK and by a stroke of luck was quickly able to find hard hitting drummer Ed Barkauskas via a desperate craigslist post. As a two piece they stood out - crossbreeding east coast hardcore aggression and garage/surf sleaze with a focus on pop sensibility. This sonic blend perfectly set the scene for vocalist and guitarist James Guile to illustrate what he describes as “the absurdity of living in the era of late stage capitalism and tech feudalism”. He adds, “it’s even woven into our name, like Mortgage in latin means ‘death pledge’”

Teen Mortgage’s acerbic intensity was noticed by Brooklyn, NY label King Pizza Records, who released the duo’s 2019 EP Life/Death and 2021’s Smoked. Songs from the EPs earned Teen Mortgage placements with Shameless, Vans Park Series, and Evil Bikes and support slots with notable bands like The Chats, Mike Krol, Bass Drum Of Death, Jeff The Brotherhood, etc.

Known for their rowdy live shows, Teen Mortgage detonates a sonic bomb that leaves no room for apathy, let alone time to breathe. Guile's caustic riffs and sneer paired with Barakauskas's brawn have fostered a new established meeting ground for those looking for a place to mosh. Their DIY headline national tours have seen crowd members become rabid as soon as the pair kick in the first riff of the set, like a pack of coyotes chasing down their prey.

The group's infectious fuzz bonded with Jello Biafra and George Carlin inspired lyrics light the fuse for people to explode into a primal frenzy, sweating out the drudgery of living through, once again in Guile's words, "the era of late stage capitalism and tech feudalism".

“These guys have got it going on” - Iggy Pop, BBC6’s The Confidential Show

About Death Lens:

Death Lens is an alternative/punk band from East Los Angeles, CA comprised of Bryan Torres, Matt Silva, Jhon Reyes, and Eduardo Contreras. They have been a punk staple in LA for years playing numerous sold out shows around the city and Souther California, doing a split EP with The Frights and opening for Enjoy, Together Pangea, Cherry Glazerr, Sad Girl and many more. With their 2022 album ‘No Luck’, the band expanded their sound to a new place. Inspired by the turmoil and racial injustice of 2020, Death Lens set out to make an honest album that encapsulates the anxieties and hardships of life, while ultimately conveying a positive message that there is light at the end of the tunnel. They are living proof of this themselves. Growing up as minorities in a place with constant harassment by police and heavy gang violence, their path could have gone another way, but they’ve chosen positivity and strive to be a light for their communities, their fans and each other. Since releasing the album in early 2022, Death Lens have been continuously reaching new heights. They performed at Treefort Fest, toured around the country with Militarie Gun and Together Pangea, are one of the most played bands on SiriusXM Faction Punk, were added to huge playlists on Spotify and Apple Music, confirmed syncs in MTV’s Ridiculousness and EA's NHL Video Game, and sold out two headline shows at The Echo in their hometown. 2023 is shaping up to be their biggest year yet with very exciting announcements coming soon. Stay tuned.
