RICKSHAW BILLIE'S BURGER PATROL share "Bough Down" single today, play & host BIG DUMB FEST IV Saturday, May 30th

"I guarantee you, it will be jammed firmly in your head for days on end." -- Metal Injection

“An instant earworm.” — Metal Sucks

“As ridiculously awesome as their big, dumb moniker would imply… churning out lumbering cascades of clobbering, trucker hat riffage that toe a slobbery line between Dinosaur Jr., Primus, Pantera and ZZ Top.” – Decibel Magazine

"Epically catchy... Imagine the ear-wormy fuzz-rock riffage of Dinosaur Jr. if it was played on an eight-string guitar with super heavy low-end." -- Revolver Magazine

Austin trio Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol share a new single today, titled “Bough Down” from their forthcoming album CA$H GRAB. The song finds the band showcasing their absolute mastery of heavy hook-filled riffs and rhythms couched in earworm melody that would make Green Album era Weezer jealous. CA$H GRAB, which is still in production, will be announced in more detail at a later date. For now, dig in to the two bite-sized anthems from the album so far, "Bough Down" and the previously released “Peaches” on all DSPs HERE. 

RBBP’s fourth annual festival, BIG DUMB FEST IV takes place on Saturday, May 30th, 2026 in Austin, TX. Full lineup, food vendors and details follow below. Tickets are available HERE.

Üga Büga ("sludge metal w/ a side of BBQ sauce") share last single from upcoming album, on tour now

“A saucy slab of proggy sludge metal with a side of barbecue sauce.” — Invisible Oranges

"Get yourself roughed up by riffs! Just try not to break your neck while listening to this." -- Metal Injection

“A psychedelic, Southern-fried, stoner wallop with all sorts of twists and turns. These dudes aren’t afraid to dabble in an assortment of extreme styles.” — Decibel Magazine

“Like its righteous comic-style cover art, the album is busy and colorful in the details, but if you step back and take it in as an entirety, it forms a coherent, single thing.” — The Obelisk

Charlottesville, VA trio Üga Büga share the last single today from their forthcoming sophomore full length LP Valley of The Wolf. An early listen and review launched previously via The Obelisk HERE. Hear and share "The Sand Witch" and more via Bandcamp HERE. 

Bandcamp Daily recently featured the album in their "Essential Releases" column HERE. 

Decibel Magazine recently featured the "Divine Slaughter" single HERE. The single is now available on all DSPs HERE. Invisible Oranges previously shared lead single "Mötorhog" HERE. Metal Injection hosted the title track "Valley of The Wolf" HERE.

Hailing from Virginia, Üga Büga fuses influences like Mastodon, Soundgarden, High on Fire, and The Mars Volta into a genre-bending force of rock and heavy metal. Their forceful sound is matched by fantastical lyrics of post-apocalyptic hog men, sinister wizards, and dual-wielding warriors tearing through landscapes on motorcycles—evoking scenes similar to the worlds of TMNT, Dragon Ball, and other classic comics and cartoons. Riding high after their 2024 debut album, Year of the Hog, landed on the Doom Charts, ÜGA BÜGA is set to unleash their next chapter, Valley of the Wolf.

ÜGA BÜGA has built a reputation as a sonic outlier through relentless performances across the eastern US. Their high-energy shows have earned them opportunities to open for national touring acts like Nothingmore, Darkest Hour, Castle Rat, King Buffalo, and many more, as well as festival plays such as Does It Doom's Seismic Summer Fest and Doomed and Stoned Fest. Fans and peers have tried to use countless labels to describe their sound, the consensus always comes down to two words: unique and heavy. Their growing presence has led to incredible opportunities—most recently, an international tour in Japan.

Formed in mid-2021, ÜGA BÜGA experimented with various lineups and styles before solidifying their current lineup in November 2022, featuring singer/guitarist Calloway Jones, bassist Niko Cvetanovich, and drummer Jimmy Czywczynski. This lineup infused their own diverse styles into a collection of songs written by Calloway Jones, reshaping them into a cohesive and undeniably heavier sound—one that would define their debut album, Year of the Hog. Now, the band writes collaboratively, with each member’s contributions playing a crucial role in shaping their evolving sound.

Valley of The Wolf will be available on June 5th, 2026. Pre-orders are available HERE.
