“Honor Cover” ($10 suggested admission)
FREE HAT
Utilizing an eclectic mix of instruments to create a sound guided by a swath of genres the band uses Sax and Vibraphone to lend a jazz-tinged feel to the sound, while synthesizer and electric and acoustic percussion touch on our industrial roots. With a punk-rock motivated songwriting ethos, the band delivers straight-forward songs while providing plenty of texture and atmosphere along the way!
