The Promotion is a 4-piece rock band that plays a wide range of genres including grunge, pop punk, metal, ska, and others. Over the years, they've gained a solid local following with help from their fun, high-energy shows. The Better Fight is classic pop-punk, but grown up (kind of). Retrograde is a pop punk band from New Jersey who made music 10 years ago in high school and split to pursue our dreams. Then right before Covid they met at a coffee shop for a small reunion and realized how much they missed creating with one another thus Retrograde was re-born. Untwisted is NJ based midwest emo/pop punk and their high energy stage show will help shake off the weekday crusties! This high energy show will have you rocking out the whole night long. All ages, doors at 7:00, music at 7:30. Tix at https://www.eventbrite.com/organizations/events. Poster art by .digo.
