Sick band line up, and the first show of the Punk Rock busy season! 4 bands, 2 headliners, tons of Punk Rockin', Slam Dancin' fun.

Drop in cause this sweet show is just the beginning!

To start off I'd like to mention how strange the crowd was for this one. While attentive, most only really showed much excitement for 1 or 2 random songs(this went for every band, and unrightfully so).

American Heist played a strong crowd pleasing set. They were a perfect fit for the show with a rougher Punk sound featuring flares of Irish, and Folk Punk through out. They played an especially tight set that was quite amazing considering the short time given.


Hell City Kings played high energy set of what I understand is their new-found "Sleaze Punk" style, and intense stage show. The vocalist was usually found in one of two places, on his knees, or in your face, which you can't help enjoying. They ripped through their songs fast(which included a cover of a rare Body Count song), leaving time for a bit funny stage banter in between.

They got the other half of attendees out of their distance, and prepared for the chaotic onslaught of chaos ahead.

Krum Bums had the crowd visibly anxious; nearly everyone gathered far in advance to get a nice spot to watch the chaos from. As soon as they took the stage people already started getting rough. Once they actually began playing, and vocalist, Dave demanded a pit, a large section of the floor broke it to some strange unintelligible chaotic pit like entity. However, most started gravitating back to the stage to grab the mic for their favorite song. Crowd favorites include: "Misery", "Sometimes", and "SOS"(which had many run onto the stage to mob any area with a microphone) They played hard and fast through the whole set, and got the crowd the most active(and probably worn out) that night.

Swingin Utters had their work cut out considering most in attendance had already been sufficiently worn down by the previous set, but none-the-less they grabbed the crowd and grabbed out any remaining energy. They played tight and fast; you could also see they had fun playing together, which helped add to the entertainment of their set. They ran through an amazingly diverse set with plenty of songs from quite a number of their different releases, and put on one of the most entertaining displays of constant microphone abuse. Some highlights include: "Untitled 21", "5 Lessons Learned"(which was immediately followed by "Jackie Jab"), "Windspitting Punk", "Sign It Away", "Teen Genocide", and "Next In Line". After a long set they announced that there were only a few songs left, and people finally got more energetic with the realization. They ended on the Ska influenced "Catastrophe", which officially saw the crowd lose themselves in the fun. At the end they said their farewells, and did a quick walk of the floor to shake hands and show their appreciation for those who showed up on a sunday.
