Standout tracks:
1. “Doomroller”
2. “Morbid Hallucinations”
Members:
Guitar/Vox: Zach C.
Guitar: Erik K.
Bass: Rebecca H.

Why you should listen to them:
Death Doom Metal band Plague Doctor come out the fucking gate swinging with an amazing new EP! Every song packs a punch and takes me on a wonderful journey musically. they talk about about anger, social issues and everything in between, making for a truly unique experience. I know they consider themselves Death Doom, but they also feel very old school 70’s metal to me as well, since they seem to love to experiment with their sound, which I love. I love that musically they definitely have a distinct sound, but they are also not afraid to explore and play around with it either, which keeps every song feeling fresh, and a wonderful complex journey into their psyche. I’m excited to see what the future holds for Plague Doctor, they bring something truly unique and exciting to the world of metal.

2. Little Cup
EP: “Tiger”
Released: August 9th, 2025.
Standout tracks:
1. “Wish You Were Here”
2. “Bands”
Why you should listen to them:
Little Cup goes on a low-fi melancholy adventure of lost love, sadness and trying to overcome a broken heart. There is a raw and sad energy that I really resonate too, and I feel you should definitely give Little Cup a listen. His lyrics read like poetry, and his music feels like a lost moment in time, and it all feels like an amazingly tragic time in my life when love and heartbreak were still fresh. His music is a beautiful moment in a forgotten time, that at 42 years of age, I long to go back too. A simpler time, before life got complicated and messy. His music and lyrics are a beautiful timestamp to a time that has been lost to the ages. I encourage you to go listen to this artist, as I feel they have a lot to offer, and I am excited to see where they take their evolution of their music and sound. I know that no matter what he does, I am definitely following along for the beautifully tragic ride.

3. Portrait of the Sisters
EP: “Portrait of the Sisters (Promo).”
Released: August 18th, 2025.
Standout track: “Temptation.”
Why you should listen to them:
All I gotta say about this promo for Portrait of the Sisters is, how fucking dare you only have two songs (lmao)! Seriously though, this band packs such a huge punch in only two songs, that it truly makes me long for more. Both songs are amazing, but Temptation really sticks out for me cause I can feel the heartbreak, anger and the fuck you energy of what the artist has gone through. It’s an interesting juxtaposition of hardcore but does have some genuinely beautiful moments that get me a little emotional. I’m truly excited for what the future holds for Portrait of the Sisters, I think they are already coming out of the gate incredibly strong. Keep doing what you do, and always stay true to your wonderful musical vision.

4. heavens
Album: “Pain Response”
Released: September 30th, 2025
Standout tracks:
1. “Hospital R”
2. “City 6 R”
Why you should listen to them:
heavens takes me on an amazingly dark electronic ride into the depths of the unknown. It’s hard to explain sometimes how I feel about music, cause I always lose my words, especially if it’s an artist who truly gets me excited about music (lol). But every single song I feel has a very clear story, and a clear vibe. Musically, it feels like if NIN and 90’s electronic (think Chemical Brothers or Crystal Method having a love child) and this is the explosive and incredibly complex world of heavens.
I will say, I feel electronic is an incredibly hard world to delve into. In my opinion, it has so many layers musically, and the quality is truly at the mercy of the artist creating the sound. Luckily heavens definitely seems to understand that, and every little bloop and bleep (for lack of a better term) truly is nuanced and has a place in the sound that has been created. I am so excited to see what other music this artist creates one day, but for now I’m gonna just keep listening to “City 6 R” on repeat.

5. THIRDEYECHILD
EP: “Untitled Sessions II”
Released: August 22nd 2025.
Standout tracks:
1. “Yaphet”
2. “All My Love”
Why you should listen to them:
THIRDEYECHILD brings a classic 90’s neo soul vibe to this album and creates something truly magical. He talks about love, personal and social issues, all while talking about how to always become better than the next situation you are in. His lyrics are delving deeper than some his peers, and always keeping it raw, real, and true to who is as an artist.
The production level on this album is so fucking good, and feels very elevated for an indie artist.
I know in one of his songs he talks about THIRDEYEDCHILD sounding more like a collaborative effort than one person, which I think is amazing. Whoever the team is, just know you guys are on the right track with your music and I feel everything you talk about with your lyrics, and music. Even if some of the things that he talks about I haven’t personally experienced, the way he talks about his world I truly feel a part of the story. I’m excited to see the next evolution for this artist, or collaboration of artists, I feel you guys are the Vegas Music Scene’s best kept secret. Thank you for an amazing EP, and I can’t wait to hear more from you in the future.
