Driving down US 40, and fusing 60s garage rock, 70s NY rhythms, 80s LA energy, and 90s post-punk hooks, The Downstrokes play four-on-the-floor rock n roll. On their debut album, New York Girl, they explored their influences from the Kinks and the Patti Smith Group to the Adolescents and the Pixies. On their 2019 E.P from Snubbed Records, they dared listeners to Fall in Love with Punk Rock Again. Post Covid saw the band return unsafe at Any Speed, which was named one of The Big Takeover Magazine's 50 best records of 2021. Their latest record, This Close to Vertigo, is ten songs of rip-roaring out of the garage rock n roll.

Rebel Reapers
Emerging from the misty, rugged terrain of the Appalachian Mountains, a trio of terror known as the Rebel Reapers is shaking up the horror-punk scene.
Fronted by the enigmatic singer/bassist Ripper, whose haunting vocals tell tales of the macabre, the band is a force to be reckoned with. Behind the drum kit is Psycho, a wild-eyed maniac whose relentless beats drive the band's frantic energy. Completing the trio is Wolfman, a guitarist whose howling riffs and eerie melodies add a chilling edge to their sound.
The Rebel Reapers are not just a band - they are a full-throttle horror-punk experience.
