NO COAST FEST 2022: noise rock royalty Cherubs join lineup, debut new bassist Pete Shore (Unsane)
With this year's edition of No Coast Fest just weeks away, festival founder Jeff Helland announces the addition of noise rock legends Cherubs to the stacked lineup.
Scheduled for October 27-30th, at Rubber Gloves in Denton, Texas, a college town nestled 40 miles northwest of downtown Dallas, No Coast Fest 2022 is quickly earning a name as the must-see, go-to, noise rock destination of the year. As a recent BrooklynVegan article states: "Noise rock is having a moment right now, thanks to fast-rising bands like Chat Pile and stacked noise rock festivals like No Coast Fest."
Confirmed to play this year's four-day extravaganza are Cherubs, Metz, Young Widows, KEN mode, Chat Pile, Protomartyr, Tropical Fuck Storm, USA Nails, Bummer, and many more – an international mix of crucial up-and-coming bands, as well as elder statesmen of the genre, representing three continents and as many generations.

Fest founder Jeff Helland has stated that No Coast Fest 2022, the third installment of the festival, is the biggest and best one yet: "Not only do we have more bands in more days, but we’ve gone global... Then there are bands in the mix that will be new for most folks and I love that too, having a platform to turn people on to some new blood."
Founded in Austin, Texas in the early '90s, Cherubs has been described by Pitchfork as "the noisiest pop music on the planet"; that same outlet hailed the band's defining 1994 album, Heroin Man, as "exponentially more dense and intense than the majority of what came out of the original noise rock era... a stone cold classic." A VICE article describes Cherubs' songs as "ugly, down tuned, blown the fuck out, and ready to die, American rock and roll classics."
The trio's early works were released on Butthole Surfers drummer King Coffey's label, Trance Syndicate. Since reuniting in 2015 after a 20-year hiatus, the band has released music via Brutal Panda, Amphetamine Reptile, and Relapse Records. Cherubs' appearance at No Coast will serve as the debut of new bassist Pete Shore, known throughout the scene as an original member of Unsane and a member of Boss Hog and Action Swingers. Shore joins Cherubs founders Kevin Whitley and Brent Prager in this new incarnation of the band.
