• TLB

  

  A universal truth: everyone has experienced a broken heart. Borne out of a breakup, TLB has been bringing “Fuck You” and “I Still Love You” together to mend your broken hearts since 2013. With a sound reminiscent of the Ramones, they are bringing the pure punk vibes you’ve been missing for the last 20 years into the 21st century. Their self-titled debut album was rated “two middle fingers up” and now they’re back with 10 more songs to rock out to while you mentally curse out your ex. Just released on Halloween 2020, Blood + Sand is a perfect blend of unrequited love and downright resentment. Performing at venues from the SXSW festival to the infamous 9:30 Club in DC, TLB takes charge of any stage they’re put on and will have you screaming along with them in no time.

• Just a Mess

  

  Just a Mess is a 3-piece band from the city of Chicago, IL that started as Tony Sarlo’s (Guitar and Lead Vocals) vision/passion project in the Summer of 2019, when Kyle Blais felt a calling and answered a bass player wanted ad. The two practiced for a few weeks on their own until Cory Gray just kind of showed up at one of the practices and told them he was the drummer in the band. The music Just a Mess plays could be associated to the genres of alternative rock / emo / pop punk / post hardcore depending on the song. Their personal influences are all over the board, but as far as the band’s sound many people would attribute them for fans of more established bands to the likes of Fall Out Boy, Rise Against, Chevelle, Brand New, Deftones, and Nirvana and peers of Movements, Teenage Wrist, Can’t Swim, and Basement. Everything JAM does is D.I.Y. and self-funded out of their own passion for connecting with others through music, the local scene, and rush of playing live shows.

  Over the course of 2020 they released a standalone single “All Those Sunken Ships and Defeated Armies”, put out 4 music videos, and recorded 11 new songs for a 2nd LP that is currently in the mixing and mastering stage that will be promoted and dropped May/June of 2021.

• No Enemy!

  

  No Enemy! played the very first Punksgiving event at the Mutiny in 2012.
  This was an ad-hoc thing that sort of came about when Erik started talking to Ian from Wrecking Ball Production about having a punk representation on our new podcast.

  No Enemy! then came back as a previous incarnation as Vote Quimby in 2015 at Liars Club.

  Video posted for your bonus convenience.
