This month, we're celebrating the artists who continue to push music forward while honoring the records that shaped it. Inside Issue 68, you'll find live coverage of Young the Giant's stop in Charlotte, a look at Mac DeMarco's sold-out performance in Cleveland, and Courtney Barnett's unforgettable return to Newport Music Hall. We also revisit Pantera's The Great Southern Trendkill on its 30th anniversary, explore Acid Bath's long-awaited return to the stage, and feature reviews, photography, and stories from across the alternative music scene.

As always, MNSTRM is dedicated to documenting the raw energy of live music through independent journalism and photography. Whether you're discovering a new favorite artist or revisiting a legendary one, this issue captures the moments that make this community worth celebrating.
