Milk Teeth
Milk teeth is not your average British punk band. Originating in Stroud and Gloucestershire, Milk Teeth’s sound contains unique elements compared to many prototypical punk bands, incorporating grunge, indie rock and more, without compromising the troubled teenagehood narrative. The band’s strong female vocals, provided by guitarist Becky Blomfield, give Milk Teeth a sound that can create beautiful contrast, often hard to find in punk, with sincere and melodic vocals, layered with grunge guitar riffs. With a strong 2016 debut with full-length album Vile Child, the band is due for their sophomore release.

Russian Circles
If you’re looking for a taste of instrumental rock/metal, look no further than Chicago based trio Russian Circles. Last month, the band concluded a lengthy North American tour, with one show left in their hometown, later this month. Since forming in 2004, the group has released seven albums, with their most recent release being Live at Dunk! Fest, which dropped in 2017. Russian Circles is atypical for their lack of vocals, however, the band bridges all sonic gaps through intricate composition, that captures varying tones and moods as well as any rock/metal group around.
Russian Circles play Ernie Ball Baritone 6 string set and Custom Individual Slinky Bass strings .125 – .50

The Pretty Reckless
Formed around former T.V. actress turned hard-rocker, Taylor Momsen, The Pretty Reckless have come on strong to the rock scene since their debut album in 2010. With hard-hitting anthems such as Heaven Knows and Momsen’s modern-day Joan Jett persona, The Pretty Reckless are one of the premier hard rock bands, as they work on their follow up to 2016’s Who You Selling For. Momsen’s voice allows the group to crossover genre barriers from their prevailing hard rock tone, to soft-spoken acoustic tunes, found on tracks such as You. The band’s strong U.K. following has given them invaluable exposure on the international festival tour circuit and will surely grow with upcoming releases.
