Playing a positive-natured brand of hardcore-tinged Celtic punk, Flatfoot 56 has been unleashing itself upon America and the rest of the world for over 20 years now. Forming in 2000, the Chicago natives achieved nationwide attention with their first two label-backed records, 2006’s Knuckles Up and 2007’s Jungle of the Midwest Sea. These releases built on a heavy dose of previously established regional notoriety, helping the band gain steam early on. https://www.flatfoot56.com/
The Killigans are a seven piece “folk-punk” band from Lincoln, NE. The Killigans “sound” combines the diverse musicals tastes of the bands members; fusing Punk Rock, Folk, Country and Western, Celtic, European folk, Americana, and other types of music into an upbeat, foot-stomping, beer-raising party. Lyrically, the songs range from classic storytelling to rebel songs to ballads to middle class anthems. The Killigans are a band who thrive on live performance and crowd interaction. Core members include Brad Hoffman and the Nebesniak brothers. https://thekilligans.com
Founded in the cold-ass Minnesota winter of 2017, Loss Leader is the new project from three working-class dudes from Minneapolis, MN; Tim Schumann (guitar/vocals), Andy Slater (drums), and Brandon Stein (bass). With deep roots in the Minneapolis and broader Midwest punk and indie scenes (former The Damn Choir, Mpls Henrys, Mad Dogs of Glory, current The Jeffertons) Loss Leaders’ brand of earnest, hard charging, melodic midwest punk has earned them a dedicated and steadily growing fan base in Minneapolis and the region. https://lossleadermpls.com/
Toilet Rats is a one-person punk experiment created by the elusive Tommy Ratz, a sewer-dwelling, VHS-fed character whose warped worldview feels like flipping TV channels in 1983. Drawing inspiration from discarded cassette tapes, the music collides synth pop, thrash metal, and spaghetti western soundtracks into something chaotic and unhinged. Behind the myth is Thomas Rehbein, a longtime Minneapolis musician who’s played in numerous local bands and produced recordings for artists including members of Motion City Soundtrack.
