Since 2006, Taco Bell’s Feed The Beat has helped countless struggling artists make ends meet while grinding it out on the road. Some of its earliest participants included Gym Class Heroes, the Gaslight Anthem, and Girl Talk, who used a portion of his Taco Bell gift cards to supply the hometown crowd at Mr. Smalls in Pittsburgh with burritos after his performance. In the years since, the long-running program has backed more than 2,000 musicians and, perceptibly, teamed up with essential voices within modern rock, such as Turnstile, Militarie Gun, and Scowl.

Whether or not you’ve heard “HOLIDAY” or Mannequin Pussy’s remix of “Pressure Cooker” in Taco Bell commercials, Feed The Beat has its pulse on the current moment — and its Class of 2025, announced today, is no different. This year’s roster features 100 up-and-coming artists diverse in genre but worth watching, including Water From Your Eyes, Frost Children, Wishy, Common Sage, Gouge Away, Rocket, Um, Jennifer?, and more.
Additionally, Feed The Beat has expanded the program into the U.K. and Australia over the past year, supporting High Vis, Stand Atlantic, and Blusher, to name a few. Next month, it will launch the Feed The Beat Record Club within the Taco Bell app, where 500 people can claim a package that includes vinyl, slipmats, stickers, and more. That goes down May 20 at 2 p.m. PT.
