The magical world of Squealer Music came into being in 1992. Since then, the Blacksburg, Virginia label has assembled a ridiculously eclectic catalogue of artists whose only common trait is their progressive sensibilities.
Gold Sparkle Band
This Atlanta, Georgia progressive jazz quartet beats out the hard swampy rhythms and reedy wandering melodies you?d expect to find in seedy overlooked clubs on the wrong side of the tracks. While the band?s name suggests showiness and glitz, their sound is deep and searching.
High Rise
High Rise makes explosive Japanese rock noise that's like an inspired combination of Blue Cheer, Void, and a jackhammer. Cybernetic wah abuse and non-stop intensity are their trademarks, complete tonal domination their goal.
William Hooker
William Hooker's brutal, powerful drumming is like the sound of wild and steady rain of a hurricane; as gale-force winds howl, branches snap off trees, and power lines come crashing down around him, he is the relentless energy that is the center of the storm.
Last Days of May
Last Days of May's mind-altering instrumental guitar rock transports you to the bleached out, disorienting landscape of a fever dream. It's an epic, sprawling, acid rock sound that will take you for a ride.
Spatula
Influenced by modern classical composition, Spatula's feet remain firmlyplanted on indie rock terra firma as they continue to develop a modern sound that calls tomind Cul De Sac, June of '44, Tortoise, and The Rachels.
Stigma Rock Unit
This Blacksburg, Virginia four-piece makes eloquent post-hardcore in the school of Universal Order of Armageddon, Fugazi, and Unwound.
