Kingsmen ~ Rise Among Rivals ~ Zonezero ~ Illusion Of Solace ~ Coal (Cambridge Hall)
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM KINGSMEN Sitting in producer Zach Jones’ two-room studio in North Hollywood, summer 2021, Kingsmen vocalist Tanner Guimond was in the midst of recording a new song when the space beside him suddenly erupted with a burst of immense excitement. Simultaneously workshopping what would become their titular track ‘Bones Don’t Lie,’ his fellow bandmates had cranked their speakers up to the max just as a riveting breakdown was born, permeating the soundproofed walls and catapulting Guimond’s creative neurons into a quick crescendo of impromptu inspiration. Exchanging a swift nod of approval with fellow producer Josh Strock before charging over to belt out the word ‘smash!’, the frontman recognized a turning point in the making. https://open.spotify.com/artist/17TGrudbMjTxlGp8fHhDGS?si=pRPSyg71Rh2g9HpK7g4QkA RISE AMONG RIVALS Rise Among Rivals, a modern rock group based out of Baltimore MD. Since forming in the summer of 2017, honest expression has been a top priority. With a focus on heavy riffs, melodic vocals, and complex dynamics, Rise Among Rivals fuses together their favorite pieces from hard rock and electronic music. The debut EP is a direct representation of the band’s cohesive vision, starting with their music and feeding infectiously into their live performance. After the release of music videos for Spiteful Eyes and Empty Love Scene gathered over 500k video streams, Rise Among Rivals made it clear they were here to stay. https://open.spotify.com/artist/7rvECpJbxYWkELAqGQcpyw ZONEZERO https://open.spotify.com/artist/5sPOz4PBBYFDDfArbKswqd?si=lkQRxRNcSs-hKTASFoC-wA ILLUSION OF SOLACE https://open.spotify.com/artist/0oahf00crtorzp3arAWZ22?si=wosmCOLlTeeYmHHRN3hMDg COAL https://soundcloud.com/coalband

Icon For Hire ~ Hooked Like Helen (Cambridge Hall)
**All Ages** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Icon For HireIcon for Hire is an American rock band from Decatur, Illinois. Formed in 2007, the band’s current lineup consists of singer Ariel Bloomer and lead guitarist Shawn Jump.https://iconforhire.net/Hooked Like HelenIn a house in the woods about 40 miles west of Cleveland, Hooked Like Helen began as the musical brainstorms of husband-and-wife, Jon and Nikki Stipp. Experimental home recordings quickly developed into an alt-pop vision; within a year of the project’s inception, Nikki and Jon had shaped a new sound that reflected their truth and their influences in a seamless blend of organic and electronic production. The band’s 2019 five song EP, Tragedy Of Physics, co-produced by Nikki and long-time friend and collaborator, Grammy-winning Isha Erskine (Ziggy Marley, The Black Eyed Peas), garnered international attention: The music video for the angsty-beautiful piano ballad “Liar” premiered on Radio Disney platforms and received a nomination for Best Independent Music Video from the esteemed Hollywood Music in Media Awards. The song was included in an emotional scene in the motion picture, High Strung: Free Dance and subsequently generated a flood of streams and downloads via the film’s soundtrack. Starring Thomas Doherty (Disney’s Descendants 2 and 3), and Jane Seymour, the film was released on Netflix on May 31st, 2020 and prominently features “Liar” in an emotional, groundbreaking dance sequence choreographed by Tyce Diorio (So You Think You Can Dance, Taylor Swift’s ‘ME!’).https://www.hookedlikehelen.com/

GOZU ~ Witching ~ Waillin’ Storms ~ Planning for Burial
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 6:30 PMGOZUhttps://gozu.bandcamp.com/musicWitchingFormed in 2017 from the throes of Philadelphia, WITCHING have emerged as one the underground’s most exciting bands to watch out for. The band’s sound has evolved into genre-bending, nightmarish, blackened melodic death metal that embraces and embodies the fusion of pitch-black intensity through black metal, sludge, post-metal, and more. With a handful of independently released EP’s, singles, and a full length album under their belts, a new lineup featuring Jacqui Powell (vocals), Nate Zagrimanis (guitar), Tatiana Buonassisi (bass), Samantha Hyla (drums), and Hazel Whitman (guitar), WITCHING are calling out to unify the masses by bludgeoning their way into a world where everything is formulaically stacked against them. WITCHING is marking their own path and marching head-on into a hellish ouroboros of self-destruction and self-discovery to share triumph and perseverance.witching.bandcamp.comWailin’ Stormshttps://wailinstorms.bandcamp.com/Planning for BurialThe brainchild of American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Thom Wasluck, Planning for Burial’s gloomy experimental metal borrows from shoegaze, goth, and alt-rock as well as doom, drone, and black metal. A one-man band (both in the studio and live), Wasluck began operating under the pseudonym in 2005, releasing the first in a string of downcast LPs and splits pairing the ominous black shoegaze of Jesu with the doomy and obsessive industrial metal of Fragile-era Nine Inch Nails. After playing in several bands while growing up in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, he conceived of Planning for Burial as a solo act in 2005. Wasluck released Planning for Burial’s debut album, Leaving, in 2009, and Enemies List Home Recordings reissued it a year later. The project built a following as Wasluck issued a steady stream of short releases, including two collaborations with Lonesummer on Music Ruins Lives and 2012’s Quietly on Tycho Magnetic Anomalies. After signing with The Flenser, Planning for Burial released its second full-length album, Desideratum (which included a credit for “whiskey” alongside more traditional instruments), in 2014. Wasluck returned two years later with the single “As a Lover,” and took inspiration from moving back into his childhood home for Planning for Burial’s third album, 2017’s Below the House. That same year, Wasluck issued Matawan: Collected Works 2010-2014, a compilation of out of print non-album tracks that he originally recorded in his former home of Matawan, New Jersey.https://open.spotify.com/artist/4nhaUpMjrBW8vywsP2yzzD

Crocodiles ~ MK & The Ultras ~ Civil Rats ~ DJ UFO
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM CrocodilesToday, Crocodiles (Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell) announce their highly anticipated forthcoming LP, Upside Down In Heaven (due April 7 via Lolipop Records). To introduce the record, they have shared its first single, “Degeneration,” alongside an accompanying music video, directed by Kate Clover and one half of the Crocodiles duo, Brandon Welchez. Said Welchez of their newest track and its inspirational basis: “The heaviness of life on a violent, dying planet can often push us towards our worst impulses. ‘Degeneration’ was written in the boiling, diseased summer of 2020 where I found myself overworked, underpaid and choking on wildfire smoke. The free time I had was spent doom-scrolling the latest covid death toll or inundating myself with news of literal fascists marching the streets. I found myself floating on a cloud of anger, fear and frustration. Rather than allow myself to fall into bad old habits or succumb to my negative emotions, I poured myself into my music. Talking about my degeneration beats actively seeking it out.” “Degeneration” was recorded at Quiksilver Studios, St. Jean de Luz, France in September 2021. It was written by Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell, produced by Maxime Smadja, engineered by Mako, and mixed by Mark Rains. It features Atef Aouadhi on bass and Diego Dal Bon on drums. Stay tuned for Upside Down In Heaven, out April 7 via Lolipop Records.https://www.facebook.com/killcrocodiles/MK & The Ultras After nearly a decade on the road with Philadelphia’s Toy Soldiers, Matt Kelly formed MK & The Ultras out of his love of fuzzy 60s psych, surf, and punk rock. MK & The Ultras’ songs summon the frenetic exploding energy of The Stooges, The 13th Floor Elevators, and Ty Segall. Their snarled urgency is reminiscent of Black Flag and Jay Reatard, while a hint of 50s swagger evokes Kelly’s stint playing guitar for The Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson. The result is “high energy rock n roll that is enlightening, inspiring and highly psychedelic.”https://mkandtheultras.bandcamp.com/Civil Rats What do you get when you cross three rodents with a love of music, partying, and nonsense? CIVIL RATS—the latest garage pop sensation sweeping the Philadelphia underground. Coming together after a series of miseries and misfires from past musical projects, Molly, Dale, and Isaac started up in the spring of ’22 with one goal: play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
