Cattlesnake: Minneapolis trio cattlesnake play a frenetic mix of surf, punk, & grunge, and try to channel their anxieties/grievances over climate disaster and democratic collapse into a rad stage show. Party on. Dashed: Dashed is comprised of 4 fellas who are finally playing the twisted surf-punk that they have always wanted to. Their style is all-at-once energetic and somber, leaning heavy into their post-punk inspirations, then sprinkling it all with biting reverb, jangly choruses, and messy topics. Somehow clean and dirty, Dashed falls between the gaps of Drive Like Jehu, Wipers, Man or Astroman?, and Lawrence Arms. These punk vets have been jamming for the past 15 years in the Midwest, and are ready for a project that feels inherently “them.” Sparrowhawk: Sparrowhawk was formed in Minneapolis in 2018 by four dudes whose previous bands include Private Interests, Mystery Date, Southside Desire, and Radio On. Their sound combines the big riffs and guitar harmonies of ‘70s van rock legends like Thin Lizzy with power-pop, glam, and first wave punk sounds from both sides of the Atlantic.
