Metal-Fusion band BRAINWASHED is politically oriented and invested in pushing for the community to be more accepting and safe. After a short hiatus, the four-piece band is back featuring guitarists Artemis Jackson and Avery Sorenson, drummer Eli Stanley, and bassist Magnum Michonski. Rooted in the DIY punk scene, their set lists include anti-capitalist anthems, and themes of deconstructing systems of power and exploitation. BRAINWASHED is what mosh pit catharsis is made of.
