CTRL+ALT+SZZL

Bringing together five BIPOC bands, CTRL+ALT+SZZL, pushes the boundaries of punk, alternative, and experimental music. This punk showcase highlights the sounds of protest, self-expression, and authenticity.

Cat Crash is aConnecticut-based, all-trans, AAPI-led indie riot grrrl punk band formed in July 2022 by vocalist/bassist Cecil Yang. Known for a raw, queer-focused, pop-punk edge, they blend Riot Grrrl ethos with influences like grunge and midwest emo to highlight perspectives of non-white, non-cis, and non-neurotypical experiences.

From Portland, Maine, EnIaM (pronounced IN-I-am) is a spell for love and revolution, exploring themes of anti-capitalism and anti-colonialism. EnIaM is cursed, blessed, insanity, reality and hood-structured spontaneity. A refreshingly original blend of moody Rhodes tones, hard hitting synth-grooves, and jazz drums. Led by vocalists Marlan Hinnant and Iris Caj, EN-I-AM is fuel for resistance and bends free worlds into existence.

LoveXRage is a Boston-based Black, radical, punk collective.
