The OGRE by Justin Boswick follows a rising “pre-crash bunker wave earth tone noxious metal rubber tone mathscape grass-fed conglomerate bass post-ego brown noise premeditated deathcore punk rock jazz” band in Portland. Tensions arise between band members as they prepare for their biggest show yet. Ogre voted “best new band” by Williamette Weekly. Join us as we follow the band, but beware, you may end up joining as an honorary member! A great representation of the Portland music scene.
