principle acts
Our Principle Acts are made up of sound projects backed by the volunteer efforts of DNR.
Night Tennis
A self-described “Dreamviolence” band, Night Tennis draws sonic inspiration from artists such as Orchid, Deafheaven, I Hate Sex, and Stevie Ray Vaughan (iykyk). The group began as a three-piece in June 2024 and underwent constant lineup changes until October 2024, when it settled as a five-piece—and has remained unchanged since. Night Tennis’ music explores themes of existentialism, folklore, and addiction.
Kill The Snakes
Coming from the third coast Houston, Texas. Kill The Snakes is a 4-piece powerviolence/hardcore punk band stemming inspiration from early Trash Talk, Magnum Force, Sinister Feeling, Spine and classics like Crossed Out and Charles Bronson. Covering lyrical themes like self hate, depression, physiological trauma and me vs the world mentally. Pounding drums, ferocious guitar riffs, dirty bass breaks and vocals that carry nothing but despair and anger. Kill The Snakes is a positive attitude band in the most darkest form. "I wrote a song I hoped the world would hate as much as I hate myself today"
Wounded Crane
Wounded Crane is a band from Kansas City. We hate AI and living in a country where grandmas ration their insulin. Come see us live.
CHIMERA
Chimera is a genre smashing noise band. We strive to bring new noises to your ears every time we come across your gaze. No song will sound the same, no show will look similar. We are ever evolving, and just love music.
Opera Of The Working Man
An industrial project focused on themes of depression, anger, and working class frustration. Conceptually, OOTWM is rooted in science-fiction narratives that take much of its influence from UFO cults and other New Religious Movements.
Sarcophillia
The platonic ideal of a shitty deathgrind dummy slam band. The musical equivalent of making a joke during an important work meeting that no one laughs at.
SOck goop
Industrial metal, digital hardcore, and power electronics combine into punishing musical experiences that explore themes of grief, anxiety, and despair.
Jezebel
Jezebel is a sludgecore band from Columbia, Missouri that aims to disturb and leave an impact. Drawing from powerviolence, sludge metal, crust punk, noise rock and hardcore with vocals that resemble the sound of a woman being stabbed with a knife with a instrumentation that represents the impending march of total fucking doom.
