Venezuelan Post-Rock outfit, Zeta is a multidisciplinary experiment that uses their heavy, atmospheric sound as a positive force for change, considering music to be the magic wand granting space for connection and healing - KEXP
The group is defined by its strong emphasis on dense polyrhythmic percussion that sway from profoundly authentic Afro-Caribbean music mixed with the most visceral Punk beats. With atmospheric elements that are drawn from 70’s era psychedelia and Post-Rock to form an intense and unique listening experience.
The new album, set for release on January 9th, 2025, brings guest appearances from Anthony Green (Circa Survive, Sound Of Animal Fighting, Saosin) and Pierce Jordan of Soul Glo, further solidifying the collaborative spirit that has defined Zeta’s long journey. On tracks like “Steps” and “The Truth,” Zeta invites these vocalists into their sonic palette, blending voices and styles into a cohesive, powerful statement. The result is an album that feels both personal and political—an exploration of identity, migration, and collective struggle. -Idioteq Zine

Formed in 2014 in McAllen, TX, Dezorah emerged onto the scene with a visionary sound that defies traditional genre boundaries. Drawing from a diverse range of influences, the band has crafted an ethereal post-progressive experience that blends atmospheric textures, metal riffs, and infectious drum beats, immersing their listeners in an environment of energetic soundscapes.

Emerging from the swampy, moss covered marshes of Savannah, Georgia, Klept will shake your intestines into new places within your body. A noisy, somewhat experimental concoction of turbulence will wiggle into your ears. The band released their debut album Verbicide last year, and recently released their latest track "Big Green Tractor" recorded by Chris "Scary" Adams.

AURA FEST: Fury in Few // The Maxines // Candy Truck
October 4th at The Sentient Bean
13 E. Park Ave. Savannah, GA
All Ages. Doors at 7 PM. $12 adv/$15 at door.
Based in the Dirty South, Atlanta’s Fury in Few encompasses a sound that is unapologetically in-your-face, hard rock for Gen-Z. Taking nods from indie rock, hardcore punk, and alternative beats, Brayden Gomer (vocals, guitar) and Ryan Calatayud (drums) are no strangers to playing North America's diverse underground DIY scenes. The band has toured throughout much of the US well surpassing over 100 gigs since venues reopened post quarantine. Fury in Few's third EP, "The Titan" was released through Sakers Music in 2022 and features powerful anthems including singles, "Kim, Would You Stop Taking Pictures of Yourself? Your Sister is Going to Jail." and "(Metal) Piece of $h!t." With Fury in Few’s undeniable fierce live show becoming more recognized as an emerging scene mainstay, a growing movement of new rock fans are experiencing the band’s proclamation to ‘Rock or Die. Be Dangerous.’
