Portland's Dying Wish clawed their way up from DIY hardcore basements, and a decade in, frontwoman Emma Boster's feral roar has made them one of the most vital heavy bands in America. Their third album, Flesh Stays Together, landed in September 2025 on SharpTone Records, and 2026 turned into a victory lap with festival slots like Hellfest and support runs alongside Spiritbox. Now the quintet is headlining its biggest American tour yet, running November 14 through December 12, and if the rooms keep growing at this rate, the basement days are officially over.
