Since 2005, Adam Bartlett of Gilead Media has been releasing some of the finest metal, hardcore, and more (including my favorite local release of last year, False’s untitled 12”). Gilead is putting on its first-ever festival to celebrate the past six years and 40 releases, bringing bands from the Midwest and both coasts together for a brutal two-day blowout in Oshkosh, WI. Highlights include Thou performing their LP Tyrant (also, possibly their last show in the Midwest), Providence duo The Body, Milwaukee’s Get Rad, and a reunion of sci-fi grind band A Scanner Darkly. There are only 250 tickets available at a very reasonable $40 for the weekend or $23 a day. The lineup:
Saturday, April 28th

Ash Borer (Arcata, CA/Portland, OR)
Fell Voices (CA/NY)
A Scanner Darkly (Reunion)
