OGRE
Portland, Oregon
OGRE is Portland’s #1 Best New Band of 2025, as voted by Willamette Week, and it’s easy to see why. With two bass guitars, one drum kit, and no need for guitars—or permission—they’ve built something loud, physical, and uniquely their own. Their sets feel less like concerts and more like controlled demolition, fusing noise rock, hardcore, and performance art into a sound that hits hard and stays strange. It’s a distinctly Portland kind of chaos—raw, intentional, and impossible to look away from.
Even more apparent than the monumental stacks of Sunn amps, primal grooves and ominous red “O’s” spotting the room is the band’s pure dedication to creativity and community. Fans know that going to an Ogre show means they’re in for something special that can be shared with a room of people of any size. Their rise from dive bar openers to primetime headliners is a testament to that. Their legend and lore is both complete fabrication and entirely earned.
