Rick from Pile, Carl from Kal Marks in the afternoon! 16+
Rick Maguire is the songwriter and driving force behind Pile, a band known for its uncompromising evolution across heavy rock, experimental noise, and intimate solo work. Since forming in the late 2000s, Maguire has built a devoted following through relentless touring and a fearless approach to songwriting that embraces change, uncertainty, and emotional weight. Whether leading the full band or performing solo, his work reflects a deep commitment to exploration, connection, and creative integrity.
Carl Shane is the guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter behind Kal Marks, a band known for its raw intensity, guttural vocals, and emotionally direct songwriting. After a major lineup change and a period of uncertainty, Shane reformed the group with new members and created My Name Is Hell—a record that marks a bold, dynamic shift in the band's sound. Now based in Providence, he continues to write music that reflects both personal struggle and broader social anxieties, with a blend of heaviness, honesty, and unexpected beauty.
