Alt Rock with Mad Jupiter, TKO!, Glass Teeth Riot, Nevergreen

What we have here is a collection of superpromising bands that are already creating rock star levels of music, all in one place and one show! Mad Jupiter just released his second EP, I've Gone Red which showcases neo soul and funk with intense rock grooves, inviting listeners to explore themes of identity, existentialism and whimsy in a self reflective revolution. TKO! is an energetic indie band that bolted out of the gate with 2 impeccably written and recorded songs that emblazed their hooks on your very heart and soul. Prepare to be mesmerized by their live show which easily matches the quality and intensity of the recorded tracks. Glass Teeth Riot is a high-energy punk rock band often described as a fusion of melodic punk and post-hardcore, and they have carved out a space in the local scene through their aggressive live performances. Nevergreen may be a new band but features some seasoned musicians coming together in a fresh, electric alt rock group with a bright future indeed.
