Denver's Fox Lake fuse hardcore aggression with hip-hop swagger and rock and roll attitude, creating a sound born in their basement in 2017 that refuses to be categorized. Vocalist Nathan Johnson brings a confrontational intensity to the mic while the band hammers out riffs that draw equally from hardcore punk, rap-rock, and metalcore. Their releases 'Lady Luck' and 'Fear & Loathing' capture the volatile energy of a band built for the mosh pit and the block party.

Hollywood Undead emerged from the MySpace era with an audacious fusion of rap-rock, nu-metal, and pop-punk, hiding behind signature masks while delivering anthemic party tracks and darker introspective cuts in equal measure. From the frat-house chaos of 'Swan Songs' to the more refined aggression of later albums like 'New Empire,' the LA sextet have built one of rap-rock's most enduring followings.

Jacksonville, Florida's Limp Bizkit became the most commercially dominant nu-metal act of the late '90s, with Fred Durst's brash persona and Wes Borland's inventive guitar work driving 'Significant Other' and 'Chocolate Starfish' to multi-platinum sales. Love them or loathe them, their fusion of hip-hop swagger, heavy riffs, and DJ Lethal's turntablism defined an era, and their return to touring has proven the band's cultural staying power.

Tampa's Nevertel fuse nu-metal's heaviness, rap's rhythmic flow, and alt-rock's melodic sensibility into a hard-hitting hybrid that has earned them over 60 million worldwide streams. Frontman Jeremy Michael and guitarist-rapper Raul Lopez have been friends since high school, and that chemistry fuels a sound that feels both personal and massive across their Epitaph Records debut 'Start Again.' Their genre-blending approach has landed them on stages at Welcome To Rockville and on SiriusXM's radar as a band redefining modern rock.
