Band lineup
Pure Bliss (Syracuse): Known for their consistent output, Pure Bliss is a heavy-hitting band with a new single, “On the Wheel,” from their upcoming EP Torture Realm. Signed with Unbeaten Records, they are renowned for their feral sound and energetic live performances.
Princess (Pittsburgh): Combining hardcore punk with metallic hardcore, Princess’s latest EP Wishes for an Untimely Demise showcases their dynamic sound. Vocalist Melina Kennelly’s intense lyrics and the band’s raw energy make them a must-see act.
Slice (Tiffin): Formed in 2022, Slice brings a mix of hardcore and metal influences. Their latest two-song promo highlights their thrashy riffs and heavy mosh parts, promising an electrifying performance.
Southover (Toledo): A new band making waves since their debut show in October 2023, Southover is set to captivate the audience with their fresh and energetic presence.
Three of the bands on the lineup can also be seen next month at Mansfield Music Fest on Aug. 16 and 17. This show is a bit of a preview for Mansfield to see them before the festival.
