From the unrelenting drums and enduring melodies to the undying screams of three different vocalists, the band evokes a palpable sense of urgency in order to contest the choices mankind has made in both the past and the present that pose a grave threat to our future.

Formed in Florida in 2011, Landbridge is a three-piece band from Tampa that combines elements of crust, d-beat, and hardcore to create an onslaught of foreboding compositions.

=============

Our new four-song EP Remedy is our response to an ever-encroaching reality of social and political upheaval. These songs were born the week of the 2016 election, and they capture us both mourning and refusing to accept the new normal. This release continues our examination of what it means to live, to create, and to resist in America today. In that spirit, we will donate all proceeds of the sales of Remedy to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of American society.

Nasty Women Portraits is back with another event!

honoring Michelle Obama and the Southern Poverty Law Center

Come hang out with us at Lure Films on March 25th from 7-10pm and have your portrait taken in the style of Kwaku Alston’s photo of feminist icon Michelle Obama looking like the badass woman we all fell in love with!

Both Obama and the SPLC are dedicated to helping marginalized groups realize their full potential. Nasty Women Portraits wants to help build a community that empowers women to stand up for themselves and be an ally to others. Donations to NWP will be encouraged, with event profit going to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The Southern Poverty Law Center was founded, “to ensure that the promise of the civil rights movement became a reality for all.” Throughout her career as a lawyer and public servant, Michelle Obama served this mission as well, working on behalf of the vulnerable and less fortunate; as First Lady, she came to personify the promise itself. From her time with Public Allies in Chicago to Reach Higher to her final White House address, Obama has worked to empower young people, to let them know that they matter and belong. The SPLC fights tirelessly to defend the defenseless, secure equal opportunity for all, and make sure everyone knows their hopes and dreams are valid and worth fighting for. NWP seeks to follow the example set by Obama to empower and enrich the lives of those around us, and support an organization that protects those negatively targeted by policies.

Feminist artists and DJ will be featured at the event, and all denominations of gender identity, religion, race, age, size and shape are invited to step into Obama’s portrait. All are celebrated and safe at Nasty Women Portraits!
