Sweet Meteor of Death was founded in Los Angeles in 2019 by Eamon Glennon, delivering a high-voltage fusion of garage rock and psychobilly with DNA spliced straight from ’70s punk and ’90s alternative. The result is a lean, stripped-down three-piece built on furious riffs, raw energy, and a gonzo sense of humor.
SMOD cut their teeth in the classic L.A. rock circuit, tearing through stages across the city, including multiple appearances at Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip.
After relocating to Atlanta in 2021, Glennon reformed the band and locked in the perfect lineup with Chris Cummo on drums and James Darrell Ditty, igniting a new chapter. Since then, Sweet Meteor of Death has been setting the Atlanta scene ablaze with explosive live shows and zero intention of slowing down — with plans to take over planet Earth next.

The Muckers are a five-piece folk-rock band from Atlanta. With a strong emphasis on Irish music, the band also blends influences of Romani music, sea shanties, country, rockabilly, and anything else they can get their hands on. The name doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Cult Potential is a high energy, punk-influenced rock band emerging from Atlanta’s underground music scene. Blending raw attitude with hook-driven melodies, Cult Potential is recommended if you like gritty, guitar-forward anthems with big drums & shout-along choruses that balance urgency with intention.
