The only emo band in New Jersey.

Ultra Deluxe is a New York City based band formed by Max Narotzky in 2015. In 2019, Dane York joined the band on guitar and bass. In 2024, Ultra Deluxe’s line up expanded further by adding Chris Canieso on drums. Ultra Deluxe’s music is a mixture of cybergrind, dance punk, post rock, screamo, classical and experimental electronic.

Ultra Deluxe is a political band first and foremost. Narotzky is an outspoken Marxist, high school history teacher and community organizer. Class inequality, gender inequity, imperialism, genocide, mental health struggles and environmentalism are among the topics discussed in Ultra Deluxe’s music. Since the release of their first LP, all of the band’s music has been told in the form of a sci-fi space opera. This ongoing saga references historical topics such as British Imperialism, The Vietnam War, Christopher Columbus’ invasion and genocide of the Americas as well as the modern genocides of Palestine, the Congo and Sudan

Ultra Deluxe’s live shows further showcase their political message. Their merch table features free leftist literature and free harm reduction supplies. Every single show sees Narotzky make a call to arms, a monologue on current events in the world and what we can do to fix them. Ultra Deluxe is on a mission, to put in plain view capitalism’s greatest atrocities, to bury the old world of inequality deep within the earth and dance upon its grave.

Gutless is a punk/emo/indie rock group initially formed in Central Florida in early 2015. Though the name was previously just a moniker used by singer and guitarist Vi Viana during occasional solo shows, Gutless was quickly developed into a full band working to build a more dynamic sound.After self-releasing the 5-song EP “Some Voids…” and it’s Portuguese-translated version “Alguns Vazios…” In 2022, Gutless released their final album “Build and Burn.”

BATTLEMODE IS THE VIBRANT AND IRREPRESSIBLY ENERGETIC WORK OF MISMATCHED BUT INSEPARABLE FRIENDS ASTRO, BIFF, AND SAM. TOGETHER THEY CREATE DYNAMIC ELECTRO POP THAT EMBRACES THE SOUNDS OF THE PAST IN ORDER TO LOOK FORWARD; INCORPORATING THE GLITCHY 8-BIT CHIPTUNE SOUNDS THAT ACCOMPANIED ADOLESCENT DAYS SPENT PLAYING GAMEBOYS, AND REINVIGORATING THEM AMONGST CONTEMPORARY SYNTH TONES AND FRESH BEATS.

Career Day, hailing from Queens, NY, is a band that makes emo-punk for the end-times. Drawing on catchy influences like Motion City Soundtrack and the Starting Line, the quartet's songs bring a socio-political lens often absent in the genre, taking on issues of racism, labor solidarity, state violence, and holding your humanity within a cruel culture. With their 2022 album Where We've Always Been and 2024 EP I'll Always Be This, Career Day has brought their message through self-booked tours up and down the East Coast, Midwest, and at their first FEST appearance in Gainesville this past October.

Tonsil Hockey is an all-trans 4-piece band from Brooklyn, NY that blends power pop, punk and indie rock with songs that explore self-discovery, longing, personal growth and isolation while also celebrating self-worth. Tonsil Hockey released their debut EP “The T4T Olympics” on March 2024.
