Griswald

Mountain Top, Pa.

Sounds like: Hardcore — influenced by ‘00s hardcore bands like Have Heart.

Fun fact: Their guitarist jumped and accidentally punched a light fixture so hard during a set once that it started to visibly dump all of the dust it collected onto the other members mid song.

Survivor’s Guilt

Long Island, N.Y.

Sounds like: Aggressive and weighty post-hardcore with a pinch of atmospheric noodling and lyrics that demand to be heard.

Fun fact: Survivor’s Guilt vocalist Tim is a huge soccer holligan. He bleeds Bayern Munich.

Variants

New Orleans, La.

Sounds like: Melodic-Rock infused with pop-punk riffs. For those that like A Loss For Words, The Story So Far, and No Bragging Rights.

Fun fact: The members in Variants have never washed their van in the year and half they have owned it. They are all CERTIFIED Ihop athletes.
