Gunfire 76 is a side project of Wednesday 13 vocalist Joseph Poole, formed in North Carolina in 2009 alongside guitarist Todd Youth as an outlet for unadorned rock and roll influences including KISS, the New York Dolls, and The Stooges — stripped of the horror themes that define Poole's main act. Their debut album Casualties & Tragedies was released in October 2009, and the project toured the UK and US in its early years. The band represents a more straightforward, glam-inflected rock register distinct from Poole's primary catalog.
Founded in New York City in 2009 by vocalist Ann Courtney, Mother Feather play a hard rock style that blends glam punk, 1990s alt-rock energy, and vintage rock and roll. The band released their self-titled debut on Metal Blade Records in 2016 and followed it with Constellation Baby in 2018, with critics drawing comparisons to Yeah Yeah Yeahs and T. Rex. Their third album KICK3R appeared independently in 2024.
