CallbullChatGPT Preview Friday Riot Fest 2026
Slothrust 2:15 Radical Stage
Slothrust are from Boston and make unconventional alternative rock that pulls from grunge, indie, jazz, blues, and sludge. Their music can be weird, heavy, melodic, and unpredictable all at once. Fans of Hole, Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, and Mannequin Pussy should give them a listen. Live, they’re loose and unpredictable, with guitarist/frontperson Leah Wellbaum bringing a charismatic presence and a willingness to let songs wander into unexpected territory.
Worry Club 3:15 Radical Stage
Worry Club are from Chicago and play emotional indie rock with elements of emo and pop-punk. Their sound combines fuzzy guitars, catchy melodies, and a DIY sensibility, making them a good fit for fans of The Front Bottoms, Modern Baseball, The Wrecks, Mom Jeans., and Joyce Manor. Their live shows are more intimate and emotionally charged than aggressive, with plenty of sing-along potential but not necessarily a giant mosh pit.
