Got it! It’s by Coop: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coop_(artist) and it’s an ad for a 1994 gig.
Here’s the whole poster: https://www.nevermindgallery.com/products/coop-1994-soundgarden-concert-poster
Some more Coop band posters here, including Nirvana:

Kerrang gave art print copies of the Soundgarden Coop poster away free with the magazine in 2018
There are a lot of references in those posters. The creators just seem to like a lot of good music. I've noticed a couple Guided By Voices posters as well.
Not to mention Game of Pricks on the stereo when Richmond has an orgasm
It's just adding to the character that Roy isn't into what's mainstream i.e liking rock music at a time where pop and rap were most popular.
You also see him singing Another Brick In The Wall and playing Guitar Hero in other episodes.
It reminds me of Deadline magazine?
Deadline was a late 1980s/1990s UK publication that combined comic strips with band interviews.
Tank Girl originated from Deadline (and Tank Girl’s illustrator, Jamie Hewlett, went on to create the cartoon band Gorillaz)

Soundgarden are the right sort of band at the right era to have been in Deadline - I wonder if there are any issue indexes online?
Edited to add a link to the front covers: https://comicvine.gamespot.com/deadline/4050-32862/
I expect there were other comic/music news crossovers similar to Deadline. It was a very zine-y time period.
You’re asking if a Soungarden poster is related to Soundgarden the band?
No, it’s the other Soundgarden.
The sculpture in Seattle center that plays tones depending on the wind? 😁
And of course Roy is an Otaku because of freaking ghost in the shell. That's for dedicated japanese animation fans.
Send this to the Ghost in the Shell sub.
