With the fourth installment of Caterwaul scheduled for May 23-26th in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the festival's organizers issue their second major lineup announcement.
Representing the noisy, iconoclastic fringes of rock, punk and hardcore, the new batch of artists to be revealed includes:
Chicago veterans Big'n; a reunion set by Minneapolis bruisers Buildings; Southern California supergroup Deaf Club, featuring members of The Locust and ACxDC; Chicago's FACS, who have the distinction of being the final band recorded by the late Steve Albini; Louisville unit Fotocrime, led by Ryan Patterson of Coliseum; Boston howlers Miracle Blood; San Antonio's Pinko, Chicago eccentrics The Cell Phones; and Unstable Shapes and Upright Forms, both hailing from Minneapolis.

BrooklynVegan has described Caterwaul as a "unique mix of noise rock, punk, metal, post-punk and beyond." New Noise Magazine has called it "a gathering of some of the best underground bands existing today."
Beyond the curation, Caterwaul has come to represent a cooperative, familial spirit within the underground. Through their decades of work in the trenches of independent music, serving in the roles of musician, label owner, show booker, podcaster, and more, founders Conan Neutron, Rainer Fronz, and Melanie Thomas are deeply tied to the artists and fans whom Caterwaul pulls together. With its fourth installment approaching, Caterwaul is the epicenter of its own scene – not limited to any one specific genre, but dedicated to uniting all people on the loud and eccentric side of the fence.
Asked to deliver a statement about the fest, Neutron, Fronz, and Thomas recently offered these nine words: “In a world full of Coachellas, be a Caterwaul.”
Look out for more lineup announcements in the upcoming weeks.
