Ceramic Knives is a Ukrainian-American music duo blending raw folk roots with experimental textures post punk attitude, and haunting harmonies. Formed by filmmaker-musician Oleksandr Frazé-Frazénko and vocalist Mari Frazé-Frazénko, the duo reimagines traditional Eastern European songs through a cinematic lens—part ritual, part rebellion. Their stripped-down live performances weave together ghostly vocals, atmospheric guitar, and analog electronics, evoking a sound that is both ancient and eerily contemporary. Now based in Pittsburgh, Ceramic Knives channels themes of exile, memory, and resistance into a sonic landscape that cuts deep.
Crystal Logic straight out of Oaklands blends a mix of Neil young-esq song writing, with the essence of punk. With a mix of scalding riffs, raw energy, and elaborate instrumentation, this trio from Oakland has been shredding for a decade plus. The compositions harken to the nostalgia of every awesome song of your youth, but in a way you can’t ever quite pinpoint. These boys are rock n roll in its finest iteration.
