Bad Planning ~ Another One Down ~ Stay Up Late
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMBAD PLANNINGWith a sound that encompasses equal amounts hardcore, emo, skate punk, and pop-punk, Bad Planning is a band that truly does things their own way.The newest recruits of Jump Start Records have been writing together since they were freshmen in high school. Now all these years later, the band is still booking their own shows, playing gigs with some of their favorite bands, and making a name for themselves in the midwest.Bad Planning writes with a sound that runs in the same vein as their fellow Chicago-based influences such as Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, and The Lawrence Arms. In 2019 they released “Splitting Hairs” alongside Chicago band A Semester Abroad, bringing on a heavier side with singles “Be Brave” and “Actors”.The four-piece, consisting of Alex Crook, Jack Coombs, Kevin Levonyak and Laurence Bactat, teamed up with Jump Start Records in May 2021 sharing a strong DIY ethos and love for punk rock. The band looks to continue playing shows in and outside of their local scene, developing their sound for future releases.MusicANOTHER ONE DOWNRhode Island based pop-punk act Another One Down! has continually proven themselves to be a driving force within the New England music scene, perfect blend of hard-hitting pop-punk and emotional alternative rock. With the recent release of their emotionally raw debut full length record A Bitter Descent, the band has proven themselves to be one of the most exciting and fresh acts to come out in the current state of pop-punk.
BandcampSTAY UP LATEStay Up Late is a rock band based in Philadelphia, PA. The band consists of Ivan Shlyk (guitar/vocals), Val Pivchenko (guitar/vocals), Ricky Garcia (bass/vocals), and Mike Preston (drums).Stay Up Late’s story began in Minsk, Belarus around 2015, when Ivan and Val met in the comments section of latter’s cover of “Therapy” by All Time Low. They bonded over their mutual love of pop punk, Guinness and psilocybin and began writing songs and playing local shows. The band was gaining momentum and even opened two shows for Our Last Night, playing for 1000 people on both nights, but due to the unstable political situation in Belarus, the duo moved to the United States and settled in Philadelphia. There, they reunited with their old friend Ricky Garcia, who helped the band with lyrics and took on the role of bassist for the band; as well as met local drummer Mike Preston, best known for being a member of Hollow Pledge.Currently, Stay Up Late is performing shows in the northeastern US and working on the debut album, which will be released throughout 2023, with the first single “Medusa” already available.https://www.instagram.com/stayuplatebandhttps://twitter.com/stayuplateband

Palm Ghosts ~ Marcus Hook ~ Sick Panda
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMPalm GhostsThe sound of an 80s prom in a war zone…located in the dead heart of country music, Nashville, TN. “Palm Ghosts is a heat seeking missile for early alternative rock fans “ – SPIN Magazine“Dance Music for an age of Chaos” – Nashville Scene“If ever there was a need for some good dystopian pop, 2021 is the year. And thankfully Palm Ghosts heard the call.” – Associated PressPost-punk.com said the track Blind is: “A gorgeous, tribal-infused track with equal hints of Peter Gabriel, The Teardrop Explodes, and Gang of Four.”“Made in the USA during the 2020 quarantine Lifeboat Candidate has antecedents in Peter Gabriel’s third 1980 solo album, The Cure’s Three Imaginary Boys and the early I Will Follow/11 O’clock Tick Tock-era U2 but filtered through a modern American sensibility to reflect on the worries and horrors of the modern world.” – We Are Cult UKManchester’s Analogue Trash describes Palm Ghosts as: “Achingly beautiful, fragile and majestic music. An intoxicating mix of Shoegaze and Dream pop, taking from the 80’s but not in debt to it.”http://www.palmghosts.net/Marcus HookAural transmissions from a former funeral home in South Phillyhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/marcushook/marcus-hook-ep Sick Pandahttps://sickpandaband.tumblr.com/music

She Past Away ~ LUNACY ~ Mighty Mike Saga (The Loft)
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMShe Past Awayhttps://shepastaway.orgLUNACYLUNACY is a dystopian shadow figure located in Rural Pennsylvania— a character set in the empty corroded future focusing on themes of loneliness, emptiness & mental illness. A character that often fits the description of late ‘80s & early ‘90s post-apocalyptic films. The project rose to the surface in 2016 with a set of 4 track demo recordings and consistently released material every 6 months until the release of the debut album Age Of Truth on Third Coming Records in Winter 2019. All releases have always been based around art and design of a specific release and have always been released in limited colorways, always selling out quickly. The project often described as lo-fi, noise and ambient explores different elements of shoegaze, minimal synth & post punk while developing a sound unique and identifiable to the project. Over a short time, Lunacy has shared the stage with the likes of Chrome, A Place To Bury Strangers, King Dude, Health, Youth Code, Automelodi, Bambara, Twin Tribes, Sextile, Skeleton Hands, SRSQ, & Tempers while also having a small run in Europe with Some Ember & Offermose in 2018. Lunacy has a full US tour booked with MVTANT from September through November of 2021 in anticipation for the Sophomore release of “Echo In The Memory” – out April 1, 2022 on Oliver Ackermann’s (A Place To Bury Strangers / Death By Audio) newly founded label Dedstrange. Echo In The Memory marks a new chapter for LUNACY’s sonic annihilation centered around trying to rebuild a world that no longer exists. Previous works have been recorded on a 4- track Tascam Portastudio using various analog single unit drum machines, guitar, bass and synths. On this upcoming release the recording process has changed quite a bit. Echo In the Memory was recorded on an Otari Broadcast MX50/50 – a 4 track 1/4 inch tape machine brought back to life by Sean Hur. All backing tracks, drum samples & loops were produced on an all black MPC1000 except, “Fragmented Pulse” which used the classic DR-55 with an 8/12 bitcrusher fuzz pedal handmade by Kyle Reiff. Both analog & digital synths were used along with guitar & bass with various effects pedals. Recorded over a two year period from 2019 – 2021 in the Dustbin in Rural Pennsylvania, mixed by Connor Clasen & Mastered by Oliver Ackermann. In the Lunacy tradition, Echo In The Memory was released on two variants of Limited colored vinyl, featuring original cover art from Dusty Ray and Logo work from Jesse Draxler. Echo In The Memory was released on Dedstrange on April 1, 2022. Lunacy will release its follow up EP ‘Under Pressure’ on May 26, 2023. Mighty Mike Saga – DJ SET
