The Roster

Four acts sharing one workbench, one set of bad ideas and a lot of blown headroom.

Velvet Voltage

EDM / Hard Synth · 5 releases

Neon-industrial cyberpop built on classic-metal scaffolding — the structures are borrowed as skeletons, the music and lyrics are entirely her own. The arc runs from the club-facing brattiness of Use Me and Lose Me through the Skinny Puppy-adjacent industrial of Ride the Voltage and the systemic aggression of Neon Justice for None, before Neon Reaper pivots hard into nineties British thrash with only a residual electronic shimmer left behind. Her world holds the Power Web and, later, the Data Stream. The lore is there if you want it and invisible if you don't.

Crabcore Confessional

Screamo / Post-Hardcore · 2 releases

Screamo and post-hardcore played like a confession booth with the door kicked off — foreclosure notices, grudges and low-slung riffs. Their debut carries a title long enough to be its own paragraph, and their second record is a song-for-song duet with Velvet Voltage.

Hero and Halcyon

Progressive Metal · 4 releases

A progressive metal project working in full concept albums, with a released sound pushed toward high-intensity synth-metal. The Heiress of Blackwater House is their gothic long-form narrative; Strings Attached is a prog/synth-speed treatment of the same songbook Ghost Note reworked into G-funk.

Ghost Note

West Coast G-Funk / Hip-Hop · 1 release

Ghosto "WestGhost" Shakur and Nathaniel "Note Dogg" Hoyle trade bars over dusted, negative-space production. Their debut No Strings on Me is a G-funk treatment of the same material Hero and Halcyon cut as Strings Attached.
