Clark St.) on September 25^th and 26^th. The first episode features Tristan Shone of Author+Punisher, whose new album Melk En Honing was released June 30^th via Housecore Records. New episodes of the podcast, created and produced by Aaron Pollak, will be posted every Wednesday in July and August. This year’s line-up includes Godflesh, Lustmord, Lead Into Gold, Author+Punisher, Prurient, Lab Report, and Two From the Eye on Friday, September 25^th, and Front Line Assembly, Pop Will Eat Itself, Severed Heads, Cocksure, High-Functioning Flesh, Rorschach Test, and Human Traffic on Saturday, September 26^th. A pre-party will kick off Cold Waves IV Thursday night at 8 p.m. at Double Door (1572 N. Milwaukee Ave.), where Acumen Nation will give a full performance of Transmissions From Eville. Rabbit Junk and Die Sektor are also slated to perform.

The Cold Waves Festival, produced by Cracknation Records, began in 2012 as a memorial concert for former Acumen Nation guitarist and sound man, Jamie Duffy, and continues as an annual fundraiser for Hope For The Day, a local suicide prevention charity that uses music and art as deterrents. This year’s sponsors are Kuma’s Corner, which specializes in metal-themed burgers, and craft brewery Revolution Brewing.
