SPIT TAKES are a punk band out of Minneapolis formed in 2023. Lead singer VansAnn delivers wry, unrepentant observations on misogyny, sexuality, and theology from a very personal perspective.- while the band serves up driving riffs and explosive drumming. The bands first singles have already garnered enthusiastic reviews:

"…big riffs and thunderous drumming paired with mosh-pit friendly hooks and choruses.. At its core, it’s a hilarious and defiantly crude, feminist anthem delivered with a zero f*cks given aplomb…" - JoyofViolentMoment.com,

"Whether for the genre, or for the female voice (and for the way of singing), the most direct comparison that can be made is with one of the leading bands of the first wave punk scene, namely X-Ray Spex, band led by vocalist Poly Styrene" - QALTmagazine, Italy

BUTTER BOYS are a Minneapolis rock band writing songs about good times, bad times, and not turning in your homework. Mixing pop sensibilities with punk attitude, the Butter Boys will loudly and proudly give you all the permission you require to dance, headbang, and sing into your hairbrush microphone.

Spirited garage rock duo, MARY JAM, combines elements of DIY Punk, Surf Rock, and Grunge to create a blistering sound that will stick to you like day old chewing gum. Drummer Katy Fenasci, and guitar player and vocalist Alli KB have an intimate musical relationship that spans the greater part of five years, and culminated in the creation of Mary Jam after COVID-19 forced the pair into a year-long musical hiatus. Mary Jam describes their music as the theoretical result of a threesome between Dick Dale, Nirvana, and FIDLAR. The band also makes bold lyrical declarations in their music, sometimes singing about beer and surfing, and other times lamenting the over-militarization of police. Regardless of the topic, Mary Jam performs with enough grit and desperation to get even the weariest of punks out of their booth and onto the dance floor. To date Mary Jam has released four singles, and their debut EP “Hello, My Name is Not Mary.” The EP showcases Mary Jam’s playful songwriting and witty lyricism with songs such as “I Can’t Skate” and “No Beer” standing to become Garage Rock anthems any uncoordinated 20-something can relate to. Mary Jam has been playing a barrage of uproarious shows across the midwest, and has no plans of stopping. Catch them soon at a dive bar near you.

Appearing in highly energetic sets, GWEN combines doses of aggressive feedback with deeply personal lyrics in order to create a heavy yet saccharine sound. While they certainly are indebted to their indie rock progenitors, they are reaching out towards a new yet familiar version of rock music. Once destined to eat dirt, they now eat roses.
