Broken Left Foot is a high-energy Alternative-Rock band formed in Chicago. Named after an injury that kick started the creative process for the band. The band honed their sound in DIY spaces and venues across Chicago, supporting bands like Friko, Billy Joel Jr., Griefeater, and many more . In March 2026, they released their debut album 'Adaptor' which the Chicago Reader praised for it's "soaring riffs" and "massive choruses".

Emerging from the sweaty basements and gritty dive bars of the Brooklyn DIY scene, better living. just might be the quintessential New York rock band. Much like the city they hail from, the group’s music is compact, close-quarters, and fast-moving. While their previous output ranges from emo and shoegaze to post-hardcore and screamo, their sophomore album, fix your heart, binds all these elements together into a singular exploration of gender identity, community, and friendships gone awry. Between body-slamming guitar riffs and spoken word passages, the band unearths plenty of catharsis, packaging it up and beaming it out into a collection of “capital R” Rock Music that’s best experienced live and loud.

Destructo Disk is a Richmond, VA–based DIY punk trio delivering a chaotic, genre-blurring take on punk music. Formed in 2015, the band has grown into a formidable force, known for explosive live shows and a fiercely independent approach to writing, recording, and releasing music.

Blending elements of hardcore, indie rock, and beyond, their sound balances sharp humor with introspective songwriting, evolving from early politically charged material into more layered, personal work.

With a reputation built on relentless touring and self-releases on their own label, Sockhead Records, Destructo Disk continues to carve out a distinct space in the underground— unfiltered, and entirely on their own terms. taken in Cole's Bar by @brokenleftfoot

Happy Birthday Jake! 💛💛💛

Holding it down on the bass and keeping us at cruising altitude, our very own Jake Wagner. Next time you see Jake ask him about the benefits of the Sauna or which Thich Nhat Hanh passage is resonating with him.
