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
JOEY VALENCE & BRAE ~ Sloe Jack
AGE RESTRICTION: All Ages Doors: 7:00PM Show: 8:00PMJOEY VALENCE AND BRAEIn less than two years since their alleged meeting at a State College, PA Red Lobster, alternative punk-rap duo Joey Valence and Brae have taken their genre-breaking and era- bending sound from the Penn State University dorms to venues, festivals and homes around the world. Influenced by the sounds and cultures of hardcore punk, hip-hop and country music, JVB is energetic, clever and carefree, lyrically weaving their way through pop-culture and counter culture, skate shops and anime, BMX and street art. Fueled by their many millions of followers across TikTok, YouTube and Instagram and hits such as “Double Jump” and “Punk Tactics,” — the former has often been referred to as “the best performance in the history of Ellen,” while the latter has been streamed more than 50 million times — JVB have amassed a global fanbase of both misfit teens and nostalgic adults, selling out shows across North America and Europe and performing at some of the world’s biggest music festivals (including Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, Life is Beautiful and Riot Fest). The boys’ goal is to one day unite the world in peace and love, but in the meantime they’ll be busy acquiring the largest Pokémon card collection of all time and releasing their debut album, Punk Tactics, later this summer.Sloe Jackhttps://www.instagram.com/sloejack/?hl=en

Sham 69 ~ No Consent ~ The Tone Bandits
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 PMSham 69Sham 69 was formed in 1975 with the members Jimmy Pursey, Neil Harris, Albie Slider, Billy Bostik and Johnny Goodfornothing. The band played at many of the famous punk hotspots during this time, performing fan favourites such as ‘Borstal Breakout’ and ‘Hey Little Rich Boy’. By late 1977 the band line-up was changed on advice of the management. Guitarists Goodfornothing and Harris were replaced by Dave Parsons, and Mark Cain replaced Bostik on drums. Slider stayed on to record the first single, ‘I Don’t Wanna’ – produced by John Cale of The Velvet Underground; the success of this single on the independent charts saw Sham 69 signed to Polydor Records. Bassist Slider was replaced a few months later with Dave Tregunna. This line-up stayed stable until 1980 when Cain left and was replaced by Ricky Goldstein. Thanks to the popularity of punk rock in the UK at the time, Sham 69 scored a string of five consecutive top 20 singles with ‘Angels With Dirty Faces’, ‘If The Kids Are United’, ‘Hurry Up Harry’, ‘Questions And Answers’ and ‘Hersham Boys’, some of which were performed on Top of the Pops. The band’s first three albums, ‘Tell Us The Truth’, ‘That’s Life’ and ‘The Adventures Of The Hersham Boys’ charted at numbers 25, 27 and 8 respectively. However, like the times, punk began to lose its bite and many bands either broke up or started making new wave music. Sham 69’s gigs were often plagued by violence and this played a major part in the band’s demise in 1980, just after the release of its fourth album, ‘The Game’. Many fans saw this as a sell-out as the band tried to evolve into a new style of its own, heavily influenced by classic British rock bands. Pursey went off to pursue various projects including a solo career, whilst Tregunna and Parsons formed The Wanderers with the late Stiv Bators of The Dead Boys. Later, Tregunna and Bators would form Lords Of The New Church with Nick Turner of The Barracudas and Brian James of The Damned.No Consenthttps://noconsentband.bandcamp.com/The Tone BanditsHailing from the streets of Philadelphia and fueled by a high-octane mix of straight ahead rock’n’roll and punk, the Tone Bandits classic twin guitar attack is dished out with pure hotrod energy.

Sloppy Seconds ~ Queers ~ Raging Nathans
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 PMSloppy SecondsSloppy Seconds is a Ramones/Dickies-influenced punk band from Indianapolis that started in the mid-1980s. With such underground hits as “Come Back, Traci” (a tribute to an underaged Traci Lords), “I Want ’em Dead”, and “So Fucked up”, the band prefers to sing about such topics as pornography, classic horror movies, old TV shows, comic books, alcohol, being fat, and getting drunk. They have been quoted as being proud to be fat, drunk, and stupid. Their name is the slang term for when a man has intercourse with another person who already has received another man’s semen in the relevant orifice.The QueersThe Queers are an American punk rock band, formed in 1981 by Portsmouth, New Hampshire native Joseph “Joe” P. King (a.k.a. Joe Queer) along with Scott Gildersleeve (a.k.a. Tulu), and John “Jack” Hayes (a.k.a. Wimpy Rutherford). With the addition of Keith Hages (ex-guitarist of Berlin Brats) joining on bass in 1983 the band started playing their first public performances. This original lineup played a total of five or six live shows. The original lineup of The Queers initially broke up in late 1984, but reformed with Joe Queer and a new line-up in 1986. In 1990, the band signed with Shakin’ Street Records and released their first album Grow Up. The album earned the band notability within New England, but with the release of their next album on Lookout! Records, their following grew larger.Raging NathansThe Raging Nathans is a punk rock band from Dayton, OH. They just released their 5th LP on Rad Girlfriend Records/Brassneck Records called “Still Spitting Blood”, preceded by slew of split 7”s, EPs, four other LPs and a two Singles Collections. While following in the footsteps of their predecessors, The Raging Nathans pay homage to early Lookout, Epitaph and Fat Wreck bands at the same time blazing their own path and forging their own unique sound, always putting the punk before the pop. The band provides smart, brutally honest and sometimes-uncomfortable lyrical themes paired with unmistakably catchy vocal melodies and harmonies. Known for energetic live shows with plenty of banter, The Raging Nathans feel just as at home in the basement with 20 friends or on stage at the big Festival in front of a thousand strangers. The songs are fast and emotional and touch on a range of familiar and relateable topics. They have toured the entire US, Canada, Mainland Europe, the UK, Mexico and Central America. They’ve managed to create inspired songs that peak the listeners interest, evoke thoughts and emotion and bring a fresh sound to punk rock without sacrificing their DIY ethos. Everything that they have achieved has been through hard work and perseverance through touring. The Raging Nathans are more than happy to earn their keep. They are truly a punk bands punk band. All of the attitude, none of the ego.

Loud and quiet, raw yet honed, Rid Of Me strikes a nerve for anyone wanting to hear melody, emotion and punishing groove filtered through walls of noise and dissonance.http://ridofme.bandcamp.comCHERUBS30+ years ago in Austin, TX 1992, cult kings of noise rock, CHERUBS, released their debut album, Icing, via Butthole Surfers drummer, King Coffey’s, label Trance Syndicate. Originally recorded and produced by Mr. Colson (L7, Dwarves, Linkin Park), Icing has now been remastered and remixed by Eric Wofford (Explosions in the Sky, Young Widows, The Black Angels), complete with new album art by the band’s Kevin Whitley. Much darker, aggressive and rawer than the material CHERUBS would become known for, Icing captures the band at their most primitive form while hinting at the melodic intricacies they would develop over the years. This is where it all started for CHERUBS and somehow it’s still happening over three decades later.https://www.instagram.com/cherubsbandatx/DEATH POSEdeath pose are a brand new heavy-as-shit band from Chicago, IL.

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM DefianceDefiance formed in 1993 from the ashes of three of Portland’s seminal Anarcho-punk bands, Deprived, Resist and Unamused. The band quickly made a name for themselves with their uncompromising no-frills punk rock, straight forward political lyrics, and imagery that could have been lifted from UK ‘82. It wasn’t long, either, before the band’s chaotic nature, penchant for alcohol and other indulgences, and a bad habit of attracting unwanted attention from the law gained them a reputation as, well, a little unpredictable… Defiance has weathered the changes and the chaos of the past years, having released four full-length Lps, numerous singles and Eps, and multiple tours of the USA, Europe, Mexico, Japan and Canada. Defiance are back with a vengeance, once again hitting the road in support of their 2022 LP War On The Streets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pnq6SuZGuYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F9Zp-b6s34CINDERBLOCKThink The Trouble meets Ultra-Violent.
