In the Joint:
BONES
Assaulting your ear holes for the past 16 years, Bones returns after a 3 year live hiatus to ruin your night. Bones will kick your fucking ass with their brand of 3 chord heavy metal. Your neck will snap, your head will pound and your liver will quiver. Good luck!

DISROBE

BRAINBLEED
Created as the world closed down, pre-pandemic experimental recording driven BRAINBLEED turned quickly into a live venue-loving crossover calamity. As the plague surrendered, BRAINBLEED invites the listener through lightning fast sets to engage with the darker state of affairs like creeping isolation, injustice, inequality, and not puking on our couch.
