The Real McKenzies
Founded in 1992 by the larger than life, Scottish punk-rock poet laureate, Mr Paul McKenzie, this merry band of miscreants has spent a quarter century circumnavigating the globe to bring the McKenzies gospel to an ever-expanding throng of rebels, scallywags and ne’er do wells. There’s not many bands that can boast of an over 30-year career as staggeringly adventurous, wildly tempestuous and utterly death-defying as The Real McKenzies. It would be a serious mistake to write them off as just another Celtic punk band (they’ve been around longer than the Dropkick Murphys after all).
Brutal Youth
https://stomprecords.com/bands/brutal-youth/
Brutal Youth play manic hardcore punk rock. They started out with three simple rules: Play it fast; keep it under 90 seconds and don’t be precious about repeating a hook… because when your songs are that short people can always just hit rewind and play ’em again. Over a decade later they’ve broken every single one of those rules.
Another Joe
Canadian punk band Another Joe is back! Formed in 1995, the band built its following through extensive touring. When their drummer left the fold, and a proper replacement proved hard to find, they finally called it quits in 2001. When the group re-released Pee Against the Wind in 2022, it became clear that there was still a demand for Another Joe. Guitarist/vocalist Jon Glen, bassist/vocalist Alison Toews, guitarist/vocalist Ryan Wagner, and drummer/vocalist Mario Nieva are a high-energy crew ready to bring their wildly entertaining combination of melody, creativity, anger, and frustration to the masses.
