Formed in 1980, The EFFIGIES helped define the early Chicago punk sound and scene. They released a string of acclaimed EPs and LPs before disbanding in the late 80s. Resurfacing a few times over the years, the band had just finished recording a new album when singer John Kezdy died in an accident in the summer of 2023. In 2024 The Effigies are releasing John’s final album “Burned” as well as a 40th anniversary edition of the seminal album “For Ever Grounded” from 1984.
“Effigies were the first great band from Chicago’s scene. Not overstating to say that without John and the Effigies, I would never have made any records.”
- Steve Albini TWITTER 8/2023
Out of the ashes of a bar-band comes the new lineup of Madison's The Scratch-Offs, a glam-protopunk shot to the heart. Guy-girl harmonies, tube amplification, stripped down drums, and bass for miles.

Whippets are a 3-piece Post-Punk Grungegaze band from the No Coast featuring current and ex-members of Wristwatch, The Hussy, Tenement, Poney, Cave Curse, Wartorn ETC.
