Skating Polly ~ Bugsy ~ Jacklen Ro
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Skating PollyOver the past decade , few artists have embodied the unbridled freedom o f punk like Skating Polly. Formed when stepsisters Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse were just 9 and 13 , the Oklahoma – bred band have channeled their chameleonic musicality into a sound they call “ugly – pop ,” unruly and subversive and wildly melodic. With Kelli’s brother Kurtis Mayo joining on drums in 2017, they’ve also built a close – knit community of fans while earning the admiration of their musical forebears , a feat that’s found them collaborating with icons like X’s Exene Cervenka and Beat Happening’s Calvin Johnson , touring with Babes In Toyland, and starring as the subject of a feature – length documentary. On their double album Chaos County Line , Skating Polly reach a whole new level of self – possession , ultimately sharing their most expansive and emotionally powerful work to date.https://skatingpollyofficial.bandcamp.com/Bugsyhttps://bugsyband.com/Jacklen RoJackie and Caelen met on a mountain and sang a song in harmony. The more they sang, the more they became entwined, pouring passion, love and heartbreak into every note. Now, as a four piece band, Jacklen Ro has most recently released their second album under Lolipop records. It is an indie rock love letter to being in your early 20s and feeling your feelings as hard and raw as possible. With hollered harmonies reminiscent of the Beatles, and dramatic melodies influenced by Father John Misty and Paramore, Jacklen Ro brings an original and exciting sound. If you don’t love them, you probably haven’t met them yet. https://www.lolipoprecords.com/jacklen-ro

Arcantica ~ Without the Accent ~ Sequoia Grove ~ The Azures
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM ArcanticaStarted in the remnants of regional touring act Letting Go, Arcantica marked a welcome shift in direction. Setting the stage with hard-hitting debut EP Withered (recorded, mixed, and mastered by the band), they opened up the doors to many more possibilities than they could’ve thought, with catchy electronic leads, heavy guitars, and pounding drums. From aggressive, soaring choruses found in Ruin, to soft, building ballads like Save You, Arcantica isn’t afraid to branch off in all different sounds.http://www.arcantica.com/https://open.spotify.com/album/53lEFv6KoIhgy8STxjPrkzWithout the AccentWithout The Accent has officially started in February 2017, in Annapolis Maryland, by 2 friends/guitarists Andrey Vasilchenko and Cesar Carabantes. First single “The World is Ours” was released on February 7, 2017 on BandCamp and YouTube, and was a perfect introduction into band’s eclectic sound of mixing 2000’s Pop Punk and 2010’s Metalcore. Few months later Andrey met Max Gilder, the drummer, at the local show. After hours of conversations about god know what, Max agrees to join the band, bringing his prog and thrash influences, further expanding band’s sound. In November 2022, Without The Accent has solidified their lineup by bringing 2nd guitarist Kacper Krzesincki on board. Without The Accent’s “all over the place” sound, crazy live show ethics and boisterous, funny personalities definitely makes them the band to keep an eye on. And if you’re into bands like Chunk! No Captain Chunk! Asking Alexandria, Beartooth, Linkin Park, Beartooth, Neck Deep, Blessthefall, Green Day and The Amity Affliction, then this band is for you.https://withouttheaccent.bandcamp.com/ Sequoia GroveTastefully blending modern metalcore and nostalgic old school emo, five piece outfit Sequoia Grove were formed in Philadelphia in 2022. Their debut single, Stay With Me, combines aggressive yet sporadic rhythms, erie and haunting synths, and even tastes of jazz and soul chords to give a refreshing take on the heavier side of the genre. The song explores the ecstasy of a relationship and the dark, desperate lows that come with it. Stay With Me sets the scene of the story for their debut EP coming in Summer 2023.https://open.spotify.com/artist/2kEz6ToQGnLKHEzsNbqWsE?si=lRFX7vxQTYqblJ0ihknbZgThe AzuresThe Azures are a four-piece psychedelic blues band from Central Jersey, influenced heavily by the Delta era of original southern rock as well as all the wild shit that went down in the 70’s like The Doors and Jefferson Airplane.https://theazures.bandcamp.com/
