BREAKTHROUGH BANDS

BREAKTHROUGH BANDS

I have seen and booked some amazing bands this year. I may be going overboard but I hope not as I feel each and everyone of these bands has the chance to really “Breakthrough” to the next level this year. What does that mean? I’m not talking about headlining stadiums or festivals but next level is simply that, the next level for the band. If your opening little 100 cap rooms, I think these bands could be headlining them by years end. If your playing bigger rooms you could be headlining those, or possibly getting a few dates on a national tour as an opener. If you’ve had a few dates w/ a national then I think this year you could get a full tour. Whatever that next step is for these bands I see them achieving it.

Our four new artists (Atlas At Hold, This is a Threat, KVRMA and Ruiness sorta go w/out saying).

LIVES LOST - Tanis and is crew have been working hard for years now and I stand by what I always say that this is one of the most underrated bands in our scene.

DEAD EYES - These guys are workhorses and road warriors and I’ve been seeing the crowd continuesly grow. They are putting out thier absolute best work currrently.

NO FIGHT NO VICTORY - They are a newer band that I was so impressed with. Not only do they put on a throwdown in your face performance they draw a crowd, and a crowd that will travel for them.

DESOLATION - I said it w/ thier album. They are nasty and always leave the crowds wanting more. The crowd size is also growing steadily for these guys as well.

FIGHT THE FOLD - Another hard working young band that I’ve been so impressed with. They have such great energy and work ethic. I am very excited to see where 2025 takes them.

FOUR THIRTY FOUR - I was lucky enough to have them one time and man did they blow me away. Anytime I have more than 5 people come up to me and say “Bring them back” I know the band is a winner.

OBSOLESCENCE - You wanna talk about a band that throws down hard. These guys don’t care if they are playing for 4 or 4,000 people. Everytime they bring it.

WHAT LIES BELOW - When you say breakthrough these guys come to mind as they have really upped thier game in the last year. Adding to thier stage show and overall performance has been a huge step up.

ULTRAVIOLENT - Never have I doubted this band. Stage presence, energy and the songs are all there. They just need to get in front of the right people and they’ll be well on thier way.
