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/

JOHN ~ TUNIC ~ BLOOD
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMJOHN“Limitations are key for us,” says John Newton, drummer and vocalist in JOHN. “I never view being a two-piece as a minus – it’s a key idiosyncratic element of what the project is.” For the last decade, the duo of Newton and Johnny Healey have constantly redefined and expanded the role, function and parameters of what a guitar and drum two-piece can be, with a sense of balance, contrast and duality fundamentally at the heart of JOHN. They are an outfit who on the surface are stripped back to a bare bones essence, a format perhaps lazily synonymous with just primitive rock, yet their work is richly layered and multifaceted – resulting in something that eschews and evades easy genre categorisation. This is crystalised in the band’s name too. “It’s a statement against colouring the music with superfluous attachments,” explains Newton. “It says: ‘we’re not going to be sensational’. It doesn’t mean to say it’s not intensely theatrical but I think there’s enough theatre in the actual energy that’s on the stage.” The band have a rich history of independence and doing things for themselves and as a result they have shaped every aspect of JOHN with great thought and detail. They formed their own label Pets Care Records and built up such momentum that they were invited to support bands such as IDLES, Mclusky, Viagra Boys and METZ and by the time of their second album, 2019’s, Out Here On The Fringes, they found themselves in Top 40 of the UK Independent Vinyl Chart and recording a live session for the esteemed US radio station KEXP. 2021’s album Nocturnal Manoeuvres proved to be an even more formidable trojan horse, finding it’s way into the Top 75 of the UK album chart, and subsequent standalone 7” Theme New Bond Junior (released in March 2023) gained the duo a coveted No.1 in the UK Vinyl Single Chart. https://www.johntheband.co.ukTUNICFor all the chaos and aggression in Tunic’s songs, the Winnipeg trio is haltingly perceptive and emotionally resonant. Composed of singer-guitarist David Schellenberg and drummer Dan Unger, the punk band is responsible for bracingly intense full-lengths about the anxieties and insecurities of daily life, including the 2021 LPs Quitter and Exhaling. But with their third album Wrong Dream, which is out via Artoffact on April 28, they’ve written their most introspective and adventurous music yet. Across nine unpredictable songs, they grapple with integrity, grief, tumultuous relationships, and universal questions that come with trying to do the right thing. Co-produced by Seth Manchester (The Body, METZ) and stand-in bassist Drew Riekman (Blessed), it’s a document of a band pushing themselves as far away from complacency as possible to make something intentional and compelling.BLOODHailing from Philadelphia, Blood basks in grasping the most opposite poles of energy, making them sit right next to each other to see what gold can be parsed from the uncomfortable. Their latest record sits at this tension of being pushed away only to be pulled back in. The collage of deviating styles and pretty mistakes brought up in the mix, reveal a band pleasurably crashing their previous vehicle, which was not yet ready to stray from the tired masculine bravado of contemporary punk.

**CANCELED** Bad Cop/Bad Cop ~ The Homeless Gospel Choir
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Bad Cop/Bad CopIt’s been a hectic couple of years since Los Angeles punk quartet Bad Cop/Bad Cop dropped their debut full-length, Not Sorry. The band spent a huge chunk of the intervening time on the road, like most bands do—and they wound up discovering some ugly things about themselves, like most bands do. Only for Bad Cop/Bad Cop, it got very serious, very quickly. “We were on the Fat Wreck Chords 25th anniversary tour in 2015, and Stacey was partying really hard,” says co-vocalist Jennie Cotterill. “She ended up bottoming out on the tour, and we had to leave. It was not a good separation. We had to go home and drop off the tour and figure out if we were still a band, what are we going to do about Stacey… Thankfully, Fat helped send her to detox, and she came out of that as a completely new person with a totally different trajectory. Before that, she was demonically possessed. She was destroying everything around her.” Out of that experience came “Amputations,” one of the highlights on Bad Cop/Bad Cop’s explosive second album, Warriors. The song is a slower, bigger sing-along than anything else in the band’s growing catalog, and it’s about the only thing not at a breakneck pace on the record.http://www.badcopbadcopband.com/The Homeless Gospel ChoirThe Homeless Gospel Choir is a punk band based out of The United States of America.Brainwash.
