“RE/STRICT is a film and art festival based in Detroit, Michigan, that celebrates kink as political resistance. In a time when censorship escalates, pleasure is criminalized, and bodies, especially queer, trans, and racialized bodies, are targeted, we spotlight work that’s been censored, suppressed, or ignored.

This festival isn’t about shock, it’s about truth. We feature work that power has tried to silence because it exposes what repression can’t control: desire, autonomy, and the refusal to disappear. Visibility is not neutral, it’s a confrontation.

All kink is political. It breaks down purity culture, disrupts systems of control, and insists on our right to define our own bodies and desires. Through film, performance, and visual art, we share stories that unmask control dressed up as morality, uplift those most often erased, and demand the right to feel, want, and exist on our own terms.

RE/STRICT is not a safe middle ground. It’s a site of storytelling, reckoning, and resistance. We platform artists who understand that eroticism is part of survival—and that pushing back against censorship is not a side note. It’s the point.”

“Razorblade is a crossover thrash band from Pittsburgh started by guitarist/vocalist Slammy. "We formed in early 2022 after I had just moved to Pittsburgh to be with my wife," he told No Echo via email about the group's formation.

"I wrote a 4-song demo by myself and recorded it with the help of James Becca (fallfiftyfeet) from there I started looking for members and met JB through some mutual friends. We started jamming and filtered through a few drummers before we landed on our current drummer Jay. We've pretty much just been grinding ever since. Writing,recording and touring as much as we can.” …

"We're definitely a crossover band I would say," said Slammy. "I draw a lot of influence from bands like Megadeth, Power Trip, Slayer, and Anthrax. But I'm a big Anti-Cimex and Inepsy fan as well so I feel that factors into the more punk and D-beat parts. We play fast and dirty.” –noecho

Everyones favorite monthly horror schlock screening hosts return with another free movie!

“The side project of Black Mountain’s Stephen McBean, Pink Mountaintops have always produced albums that are chameleonic, diverse, interesting and infuriating in equal measure. Peacock Pools is their first album in eight years, and it dashes between genres without a second thought for audience expectation–nor any sense of cohesion.

Melvins drummer Dale Crover and Redd Kross bassist Steven McDonald are along for the ride on an album that veers from Pink Floyd pastiche on “Swollen Maps” to Gary Numan homage on “Blazing Eye” to the Kinks-like pop parody of “Miss Sundown.” This sounds promising on paper, but the influences are so wildly obvious that the whole affair feels contrived from start to finish.” –spectrum culture.com

“Matthew Smith is the hard-working Detroit vocalist that fronts Outrageous Cherry and the Volebeats. Other projects that Matthew Smith has worked with include His Name Is Alive and Andre Williams' Silky. Smith is among the intelligent voices in modern pop. He straddles the line between alternative country and nostalgic '60s and '70s style pop.” –allmuic.com

“Shocking, thrilling, deafening, Genre is death are an aurally violent visionary twosome that embody a surprising yet much-needed throwback to the best snarling, audience-alienating nihilism of no wave (no wave also being a rejection of genre though it eventually became one). The duo, made up of Ty Varesi on guitar and Tayler Lee on bass, with both trading off on vocals that range from detached murmurs to throat-tearing screams, opened their set with a stink bomb blast of fetid feedback, a misanthropic intro akin to cranking up everyone’s favorite easy-listening record, Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music. That’s one way to stop the crowd’s chattering.” –filthydreams.org

Psych War: “… devastating band from Philadelphia… What can I say about this album? First of all, it didn’t disappoint expectations since it’s even better than the demo, then it contains 11 tracks of pure crust punk like I haven’t heard in a long time. The influences are multiple, but Sweden is the master. The voice sometimes reminds me of Jonsson in the very early Wolfpack, other times Jocke from Dischange/Meanwhile, as for the music, pre Tompa’s Disfear were definitely a great inspiration. But Psych-War don’t stop there and in fact there are also Motorpunk essences and a couple of nice mid-tempo pieces, all enriched by some nice guitar work of Bolt Throwerish memory and some stenchy breakdowns that enhance the power of this album.” –agripunkrecords

“You don’t have to be a fan of Seattle trio Coral Grief’s forehead-slap band name to appreciate the way their blinking, sighing psychedelic rock calls back to Stereolab and Broadcast. Coral Grief’s full-length debut Air Between Us drops next month… It’s a swooshing, hypnotic jam that sounds like it exists outside of time and space.” –stereogum

“Andrea Doria (pronounced [anˈdrɛːa ˈdɔːrja]) was a luxury transatlantic ocean liner of the Italian Line (Società di navigazione Italia), put into service in 1953.

“Nancy Friday's reviews are mixed but largely acknowledge her books, especially My Secret Garden and Forbidden Flowers, as groundbreaking for documenting female sexual fantasies in the 1970s, contributing to a cultural conversation about female desire. While praised for providing a liberating voice and unprecedented insight into women's inner lives” –googleAIoverview

Quitters: “I like this. A lot. It’s super lo-fi, but also super catchy (those two can go hand in hand. for sure). It’s fuzzy, but jangly at the same time. It’s got a somberness to it, but it’s not a downer. In terms of the sound, I guess I’d call it “indie,” if that’s okay with you. The production is perfect for the sound. This is pretty outstanding for a debut effort. Great guitar sound. These guys are from Detroit, so you know they’re tough. The mood they create reminds me a bit of the DANDY WARHOLS. Really great shit here.” –maximumrocknroll
