Catbite is a neo-two tone ska band from Philadelphia formed in May of 2018. Influenced by the jolting energy of the Specials, the Selector’s edged lyrics, and Elvis Costello‘s love of melody, the group cranks out short, catchy tunes that usually have a deeper meaning… and sometimes don’t.
The band’s debut self-titled LP was released in 2019 on Bad Time Records and has sold out of several pressings. The highly anticipated Sophomore album, “Nice One” , also on Bad Time Records, was released on August 6, 2021 and was accompanied with a sold out hometown show. Nice One includes hits like “Call Your Bluff”, “Excuse Me Miss”, and the soulful rocksteady tune, “Bad Influence”. You can catch them on tour across North America.
The OBGMs fuse punk, rock, and hip-hop into an electrifying sound that’s garnered critical acclaim for “The Ends.” Known for their ferocious live performances, they’ve shared stages with heavyweights like Death From Above, PUP, and Alexisonfire. Their explosive energy and genre-defying approach make them a force to be reckoned with, poised to leave an indelible mark on the music scene and captivate audiences worldwide with their raw, unapologetic style.
Hardcore punk four piece SOJI produces energetic melodies paired alongside subversive lyrics reflecting on racism, womanism, police brutality, and the growing housing crisis. Aptly named “the crown revived”, SOJI comes out the gate swinging with a radically Black, Trans and Queer-led ethos and a dedication to disrupting existing punk spaces in favor of centering more Black Queer and Trans punks.
A musical quintuplet interested in “outdated” sounds, “obsolete” technology, and “old-fashioned” hard work.
