Supercurse ~ Soft No ~ Modern Culture
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMSupercurseSUPERCURSE is a Philadelphia-based trio drawing inspiration from shoegazers tinged with Americana as well as early-2000s post-hardcore. Their first EP—Great Wide Empty was released in February 2023. SUPERCURSE’s music is stocked with heavy rhythms, aggressive distortion, and ominous lyrics, while reclaiming capital-B Big reverb. Upholding all of the trimming is the knowledge that nothing beats an infectious hook.SUPERCURSE is here.SOFT NOIn winter 2023 when Austin and Scott from Philly post punk outfit Sold approached Allie from garage gazers Flatwaves and Jon from mosh lords Rock Bottom, they wanted to play music that sounded “…like the Deftones, or something”. Fast forward a year later, and we guess you could say it sounds like that maybe fifteen percent of the time, except now with synth parts provided by our friend Kate (Raw Force). If you like bops, riffs, and a whole lot of dropped D, you’ll be a hard yes for Soft No.@softnophlModern CultureModern Culture is a Philadelphia based rock band. Kevin Dunne(Vocalist and Guitarist) and Brandon Cole(Drummer) have been constant collaborators in various projects since meeting in high school, and while searching for individuals who shared a similar sonic vision, they met Jonny Ibarra(Guitarist) and Brad Parsons(Bassist) who have helped round out the line up. Taking influence from 90’s-00’s emo, and combining them with elements of shoegaze and post-hardcore, the band released their debut EP entitled “Separation” that talks about the loss of a loved one, the effects it can have on those left behind, and the nonlinear journey that can follow after.

Three musicians from three different countries decided to start a surf band having listened to absolutely zero surf music, and Party Nerves was the result; someone once called it ‘post-surf’ and they liked that enough not to question it. They have inspired some pretty exuberant mosh pits and some truly wild dancing. Party Nerves released their first EP – Put a Load On, Come Back Mangled – in 2022 and have a follow-up slated to drop in early 2024. You can probably find them at the closest diner or falafel spot after the show.InstagramBandcampSpotify
Graduation Speech ~ Magazine Beach ~ Broadcaster ~ Night Windows
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 6:30 PMGraduation SpeechAs musicians change, so does their music. It’s an unavoidable truth that some fans hold against their favorite artists, but an artist’s evolution also yields some of their most powerful music. Case in point: New Jersey’s Graduation Speech was conceived when Kevin Day sought a quieter creative outlet separate from his band Aspiga. Though the intimate acoustic project differed dramatically from Aspiga’s brand of blown-speaker pop-punk, it opened new doors for Day as a songwriter. Now, after six years of releases, Graduation Speech is ready with Arcane Feelings, an EP that noticeably features six full-band songs, building on 2021’s Maintenance Required. On that EP, Day called on friends to add guitars, drums, keys, and percussion, showing what Graduation Speech could look like with more rhythm and layers. Where previous Graduation Speech releases were quiet, personal — perfect for an acoustic house show living room — the songs on Arcane Feelings are written for a small stage in the back of a bar, the crowd knocking shoulders, nodding to the beat as they nurse their beers. That’s in no small part due to the addition of Billy Bollinger (Crucial Dudes), Brandon Iacometta (Crucial Dudes), and Pat Pie rounding out this new lineup. “Henry,” for example, bounces, rowdy and antsy, to Pie’s stamping drums, acoustic chords jangling between the beats. Bollinger’s long, electric leads drip across the verses throughout Arcane Feelings, but also add texture and heat. On “Get Lost,” guitars glint like the summer sun off of chrome; on “No Confidence,” they smolder following the first chorus, send clean plumes of smoke into the second verse. But even the slower, quieter songs—those most reminiscent of previous Graduation Speech albums—still feel weightier with a full band.https://graduationspeech.bandcamp.com/Magazine Beachhttps://magazinebeach.bandcamp.com/album/constant-springtimeBroadcaster4-Piece Rock Band from Long Island, NY.https://broadcasterny.bandcamp.com/album/a-million-hoursNight WindowsWhere do I go from here? Everyone is getting older. I’m losing people both to death and life. I’ve written about the sadness that comes with the gift of life, but never like this. This time, I leaned as hard into the sadness as necessary in order to feel better. “In Memories is a huge step forward from a band that already ruled, but really benefits from the format of full band arrangements interspersed with the more solo-born experiments or just differently fleshed out songs. It’s a really dynamic set of songs that I could see people getting really excited about, especially with the way bands like Wednesday, MJ Lenderman, and Big Thief have gotten folks excited about a specific kind of wood-grained songwriting that Night Windows isn’t totally like, but could appeal to fans of.” -Fred Thomashttps://nightwindows.bandcamp.com/album/in-memories
