GLASS HEROES

 Performing Saturday in Phoenix, AZ 2013



The GLASS HEROES have been together over 20 years. They have played with and become friends with many bands over the years: SexPistols,Vibrators,UK Subs,the Business,Fear,TSOL,Vice Squad,Neurotic Outsiders,the Adicts,MotorHead,MC5,RubberCityRebels,Peter & the Testube Babies, Anti-Nowhere League, just to name a few. The power and integrity of their music is a constant reminder of the sounds in which they hold true. The GLASS HEROES stand as a clear testament to the power and purity of the music that influenced them. Carrying on with a direct force to play unadulterated & undiluted punk. In a music genre that has been all but obliterated by over marketing and trampled on by so many musical crossovers as to be almost unrecognizable.

The GLASS HEROES are one of the last remaining links to a powerful lineage of punk in it's purest form.
When you find that everything you loved has become a commodity, you'll find the Glass Heroes writing & putting out music for those who get it.

LIVE at the Main Stage!

Saturday @ 7pm


 

 

JACK ROLLERS

Performing Sunday in Phoenix, AZ 2013




Love em or Hate em The Jack Rollers never disappoint. The Jack Rollers play music the way it is meant to be played: noisy, snotty, and brash. They snap, crackle & pop with the best of ‘em. And the attitude?? A much welcomed slap in the face in a stagnant, auto-tuned, contrived, failing music industry that needs a serious jump-start.

All veterans of the Phoenix, Az music scene, The Jack Rollers formed in early 2011 and feature frontman/guitarist Matt aka Fido, Bassist Shane Cassily and Andrew Kenney on drums. Considering the members’ previous bands include Stereo Jacket, American Dali & Johnny Ace, you better arrive early to a show or you won’t get in. Musically, they scratch and spit-out a perfect mix of high-energy rock, pop, and punk and serve it up like your favorite top-shelf martini. Their songs have pop sensibilities, while resurrecting old rock n roll standards where the live performance should be as good or better than the record.

You have to see these guys live to truly capture the experience of careless rock/pop/punk abandon!

LIVE at the Main Stage!

Sunday @ 2 pm



HC PHOENIX, AZ 2013 BANDS

  • FRIDAY 7pm - Broloaf
