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/

Chiddy Bang ~ Nazeer Art’aud ~ Torito
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMChiddy BangChidera Anamese, now known by his stage name Chiddy Bang, is an American rapper from Philadelphia, PA. Chiddy Bang’s original member makeup disbanded in 2012, when he and his partner released their first studio album, Breakfast. Since splitting from his producer, he has continued release music on his own. Baggage Claim, his second studio album, was released in 2015 and in 2022 he’ll be releasing his long awaited next project.Nazeer Art’audNazeer Art’aud is an independent artist from Philly who began rapping at the age of 12. His earliest vivid memory of falling in love with hip hop, is cruising through Philly in his Uncle June’s green hoopty listening to Gimme the Loot by The Notorious B.I.G. Alex Smith of WXPN described his style as “the epitome of the street stories and outre metaphors of late ‘80s to early ‘90’s hip hop, exhibiting a lyrical quality delivered in the cadence of peak Biggie Smalls but drunk watching Saturday morning cartoons.” Art’aud wants his music is to entertain audiences via dope storytelling, and in return, he just wants them to feel something while traveling on the musical journey that he takes them on. http://linktr.ee/nazeerartaudToritoWhether in his grungy basement studio or on the shoddy stage of a local watering hole, Torito provides a deluge of multisyllabic wit, absurdist imagery, personal musing, and societal reflection. It’s a bit like observing a psychotherapy session in which the shrink foregoes the typical elevator music/Yanni/nature sounds playlist in favor of a carefully curated beat set, and the patient attempts to keep a partial grasp of reality, voices all of his thoughts in complex internal rhyme schemes, and wears a leather bull mask. After self-producing his previous two albums, 2018’s “Fabric Scraps” and 2020’s “Meat Circus”, Torito collaborated with Philly producer Small Professor for 2022’s “Soiled”. https://toritorhymes.bandcamp.com/ https://instagram.com/toritorhymes https://twitter.com/toritorhymes
