Gold—Diggers, Los Angeles

**Giant Waste of Man** (GWoM) is a visceral, veteran indie rock band from the Los Angeles scene, known for their late '90s/early 2000s guitar-driven sound, featuring members from past notable bands like Summer Darling, and releasing acclaimed albums like Biographer, with new music planned for 2025. They offer honest, loud-quiet-loud indie rock with sharp songwriting and a touch of chaos, blending veterans' experience with raw energy. The haunting, bittersweet melodies of LA-based shoegazers **Modern Time Machines** have been described as “dreamy... evocative and upliftingly esoteric” by NBC Los Angeles. Reverb-drenched vocal harmonies adorn the band’s feedback-laced love songs, which have drawn comparisons to M83, Slowdive, and Sonic Youth. After the band’s material received airplay on KROQ 106.7FM, MTM were invited to perform their music on national TV on Adult Swim’s cult hit The Eric Andre Show, graced by strings of Emmy-nominated composer Chanda Dancy.
