Furthermore, Dog Party released “Vol.4” (2015) and “‘Til You’re Mine” (2016) on Asian Man Records.
In 2016, Dog Party was the special guest on Green Day’s Revolution Radio tour. This was a full circle moment for the band, as Gwendolyn was first inspired to pick up a guitar after hearing American Idiot. In 2018, Dog Party released their 6th album “Hit & Run” on Brat Mag + Music. Dog Party followed the release with a headline tour, in addition to tours supporting The Aquabats, Reel Big Fish, Bad Cop Bad Cop, and CJ Ramone throughout 2019.

The Dollheads (Las vegas)
The Dollheads are an all-sibling band from Las Vegas, NV. The band is composed of Angela Avery (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Samantha Avery (Bass, backup vocals), and Austin Avery (drums). They’ve all been involved in music since their elementary school years, where they performed covers of various rock and punk songs under the name “10 and under”.
In 2021 the band began writing their own music. With the help of one of their music mentors, Ted Sablay, they recorded their first three singles, “Parasite”, “Still Alive”, and “January 28th” at 11th Street Records in Las Vegas in July 2021. Having outgrown the “10 and Under” name, the siblings renamed themselves “The Dollheads”, which was inspired in part by the Filipino rock band “Eraserheads”.
After releasing these singles, the band sought opportunities to perform live and were invited to compete in four separate battle of the bands competitions in Spring 2022, winning the top prize in three of the four events. This was highlighted by winning a spot to perform at the 2022 Life is Beautiful Music Festival in Downtown Las Vegas. This served as a springboard for their introduction to the local music scene.
In the short time since then, The Dollheads have hit many major milestones, including releasing a full length album along with a follow-up EP, performed at major festivals such as Punk Rock Bowling Festival (Las Vegas) and the Rebellion Festival (UK), headlined local shows, toured in California, Utah, and Arizona, and have completed two tours in England. These milestones were met as a self-managed, independent band, which illustrates their still-to-be unlocked potential.
The Wild JUmps (Portland, OR)
Please leave your chill at the door. The Wild Jumps invite you to join them in their unapologetically joyful, righteously pissed-off, and socially conscious party punk vibes. Revel in the raucous high energy of their dynamic music and rowdy stage antics.

The Iron Roses (East Coast)
Hailing from the East Coast, The Iron Roses are a passionate, unique, and beautiful group of people making music that we can only hope will change the world. Fueled by the injustices of our current times – their songs are the kind of protest anthems that only a group of seasoned musicians could make. Still angry, still driven, and still screaming – this is a band that will never give up the fight.
The Iron Roses manage something rare and commanding with music that lifts the heart, coupled powerfully with lyrics that express fury and resentment of the current world.The beauty of seeing these six individuals singing their truth is astounding. Watching them grow from strength to strength in the last few years it is unsurprising that this record is the outcome. They, and their songs, represent such power, love, and passion – something that we need more than ever in this world today.
Tess & the details (SF)
Tess & The Details are a punk rock band from San Francisco, California signed to Double Helix Records in the U.S. and Engineer Records in the U.K. and E.U.

COsmic Kitten (San Pedro)
Recently signed to San Francisco’s Psyched Records, the four-piece San Pedro based post-grunge, punk, alternative-rock band Cosmic Kitten formed in 2016 are like a time capsule to the era of 90’s grunge.

The darts (AZ)
THE DARTS formed in 2016 with the goal of making great all-girl garage-rock noise, see the world, and have a fab slumber party every night. We threw on some vintage black slips, threw off our shoes, and set out on the adventure. The lineup is: Nicole Laurenne (vocals/organ), Meliza Jackson (guitar), Christina Nunez (bass), and Mary Rose Gonzales (drums). In the first year, we put out two self-produced EPs, signed with Dirty Water Records (UK), and released our first full-length vinyl release, Me.Ow (2017 Dirty Water Records). We headed to Europe a bunch of times and never wanted to come home. Dirty Water re-released the first two EPs as a second full-length vinyl, The Darts (2017 Dirty Water Records) and we toured all over the U.S. with great bands like The Living End and Billie Joe Armstrong’s The Longshot. Our idols started noticing, including author Stephen King, actors Drew Carey and Fred Armisen, and punk legends Jello Biafra and Blag Dahlia, sometimes even coming to shows and getting on stage with us. Two years into the project, we were on bigger European stages like Sjockfest, Cosmic Trip, and Roots n Roses, with acts like Turbonegro, The Flaming Lips, and The Dead Kennedys.
In 2018, Jello Biafra signed us to his label, Alternative Tentacles and released our first 7-inch Bullet and then our third full-length record, I Like You But Not Like That (2018 Alternative Tentacles Records), at a packed Punk Rock Bowling appearance in Las Vegas. We then went on an unforgettable US tour with The Damned. We performed at US festivals with bands like Rancid and L7, had songs placed on top tv shows like Peaky Blinders, got great reviews in Rolling Stone, and made a stop at Mexico City’s Hipnosis Fest. Even during the pandemic, things didn’t stop. Vox hosted an Instagram Live show garnering over fifty thousand views, we played Punk Rock Bowling 2022, made our debut at Seattle’s Freakout Fest, recorded a 7-inch for Adrenalin Fix Music in Europe, and, in 2022, took our EP Love Tsunami on tour all over the US and Europe and performed on the legendary KEXP Sessions.
In 2023, Alternative Tentacles released Snake Oil, our fourth full-length record, funded entirely by fans. Snake Oil was co-produced by Jello Biafra himself and got rave reviews worldwide. The summer of 2023 saw a massive 10 week European tour with special European versions of Snake Oil, we had sold-out shows in Madrid, London, Cherbourg, Edinburgh, and many more amazing places, and played Munster Raving Looney Party, Relache Fest, Festival Beat, Loungefest, Muehlen Madness, and Freakout Fest. We quickly sold out the first pressings of the new record in both the US and Europe in two months and second pressings were rushed out on both continents. In the midst of all of this action, we went back into the studio with legendary producer Mark Rains in Los Angeles and.. our next full-length album, Boomerang, is due out in Spring 2024 on Alternative Tentacles.

Anarcho-Socialist and Feminist politics are at the front and center of the band's lyrics. Aruspex is a passion project from a group of aging punks who want to keep the bridge between punk and radical politics open for the next generation.

The inciters (santa cruz)
The Inciters play Northern Soul music.
Northern Soul takes the Motown/Stax ethic but adds a stronger back-beat with more adventurous production, and The Inciters continue this tradition in grand style. With ten members (sometimes more!) wielding drums, bass, guitar, a full horn section, and three female vocals, The Inciters have no problem filling a room with the powerful sound of soul. The three vocalists lead the band through finely crafted original songs as well as traditional soul music that will get you out of your seat and start to dance!
The Inciters are from Santa Cruz, but travel the world in support of their internationally released records. Seeing them in their hometown is a unique experience.
They bring in guest singers on occasion, sometimes quite famous soul artists. And they always have as much fun on stage as the audience does!
Their highly anticipated album "Bring Back The Weekend" (Pirates Press Records) finally captures the band's sound. The blending of Punk, Jazz, Ska, Psychobilly, Garage, and of course Soul was released in the Fall of 2023.

Since the bands inception in 1995, through today, The Inciters have relentlessly packed dance floors, released numerous albums and singles, played hundreds of shows and, above all, have had the most fun doing so.
SLUTBOMB (OHIO)
Slutbomb’s off-kilter style is earmarked by their unwillingness to write color-by-numbers punk. Each song contains a base mixture of fastcore and metal, with a level of technicality that puts their contemporaries to shame. Vocalist Debra Long matches the energy of the rest of Slutbomb 100% of the time, delivering cadences as busy as the rest of her ensemble’s parts. Each of Slutbomb’s releases, most being EP’s and singles, are assaults of psychotic noodling and dizzying riffage from both guitarist Darrel Glass and bassist Vinnie Paige, propelled by the unceasing fervor of Taylor Kincaid, who seems to always be playing at the edge of most drummers capacities. Upon first listen, it couldn’t be any easier to pick out their influences, from Napalm Death to Poison Girls to Ceremony, but the lack of pretense with which these influences are presented on 2017’s “Constant Struggle” and 2021’s “Eighty-Six Twelve” is quite remarkable.
Half Past Two (OC)
Half Past Two bio. Having formed in 2006, Half Past Two are veterans of the ever-thriving Orange County ska scene, but their forward-thinking approach also aligns them with ska’s current “New Tone” movement. After first coming together with Bad Time Records on 2020’s ‘Ska Against Racism’ compilation, the band and label have finally teamed up for a new full length LP. ‘Talk Is Killing Me’ shows the band building on their ska punk roots to evolve musically and stylistically, at times being more aggressive yet also more heavily introspective than the band’s previous work. Produced by Reade Wolcott of We Are The Union, the album is filled with pop-hooks backed by a rhythm section that flies the flag of “bubblegum ska” while displaying chops clearly suitable for heavier punk and indie stylings. Fans of the band’s 15+ year career will feel the evolution of their sound emanating from this record… pop-sensibilities mixed with fun and joy, but with a more “grown up” edge and heavier subject matter to reflect the realities of the modern world. The “Orange County sound” was due for a makeover, and this new effort from Half Past Two is certainly right on time.
Slaughterhouse (South Bay)
Slaughterhouse emerged from the South Bay of Los Angeles in late 2017 and hit the ground running with local and out-of-state shows, and an EP that would define their punk and death rock sound.
They have continued to build their name playing explosive live shows with songs from their debut LP, Fun Factory; out as a split release on Todd Congelliere of F.Y.P’s label Recess Records, and Water Under the Bridge Records. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Pennywise, Social Distortion, Adolescents, Dead Kennedys, and Alkaline Trio. In 2022 they toured with Bad Religion and played sold out shows with Amyl & The Sniffers, and Destroy Boys, with no signs of slowing down. Most recently, Slaughterhouse hit the road for a month-long US tour with UK pals, Grade 2, and finished the tour with a Punk Rock Bowling club show with Alice Bag.
With Meriel O’Connell on vocals, Eddie Cairns on bass, Taylor Ramirez on guitar, and Nick Aguilar on drums, the band continues to write explosive new songs and are currently working on a new album.
