About Thou + Pageninetynine

Thou
Thou has always been a force of raw energy and unapologetic dissent, defying easy categorization and challenging listeners to confront the complexities of existence. Though often lumped in with New Orleans sludge bands like Eyehategod and Crowbar, Thou transcends genre boundaries, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of influences spanning from ’90s proto-grunge icons like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden (all of whom they’ve covered extensively) to the raw intensity of obscure ’90s DIY hardcore punk found on labels like Ebullition, Vermiform, and Crimethinc.
Their latest record Umbilical, Thou’s first full-length release of original music since their 2018 Sacred Bones debut Magus, is their firmest nod to the latter – a record filled with mosh-ready riffs, heavy breakdowns and scathing vocals. The band’s aesthetic and political impulses have always been punk and like anyone embroiled in the subculture Thou have been exploring what it means to exist within and without a rigid morality. That exploration takes thematic center on Umbilical and their self-assessment is as harsh as that of the world around them.

Pageninetynine
Started in 1997, Pageninetynine is a band from Sterling, Virginia who redefined what “punk rock” could mean and be, touring relentlessly and releasing a plethora of albums, splits, singles and more… all from a venerable squad of miscreants on the outskirts of the nation’s capital. With a plethora of releases only rivaled by their staggering eight (sometimes nine) member status, Pg.99 managed to amalgamate almost every heavy-music genre into a tornado of punk rock fury. Not punk in a mohawk-mania sense, but with the unbridled raw spirit of youthful rebellion and passion.
Following a series of reunions in 2011, 2017 and 2019, Pageninetynine has remained active, playing select shows and festivals in 2023 and 2024. They recently reissued their iconic Document #8 LP and Singles Collection LP on Virginia-based label Persistent Vision in August 2023.
