Escape From the Zoo: It’s very rare to find music that makes you think, feel and want to mosh simultaneously, but with Countin’ Cards, Escape From The Zoo has struck the perfect balance between all three. It’s something that the band – the louder, faster, punk project that Days N’ Daze’s Jesse Sendejas co-founded with his wife Veronica – has always done, but never quite to this extent. Much of that is down to the circumstances that led up to the recording of these nine songs – most obviously a global pandemic that allowed for intense self-reflection. That was true for both Sendejas and We The Heathens’ Elliot Lozier, who recorded this album and played bass and drums on it. https://escapefromthezoo.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/EFTZtheband

Public Serpents: Public Serpents not only are a band with a clever name but have the songs to back it up. They're part of the unique and un-numbered wave of riot-ska bands who appeared on the underground scene in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Skwert, who also plays drums in NYC's Choking Victim was looking for an outlet for his songs and decided that starting a band was the best way and Public Serpents quickly started a make a name for themselves upon first coming together in 2006. hardcore punk/punk/punk rock/ska/crack rock steady from Middletown, NJ https://tentcityrecords.bandcamp.com/album/farewell

Rational Anthem: Punk of the pop variety that doesn't need to be defended. Think early 90's Blink covered in salt. https://rationalanthem.bandcamp.com/

Bigby Woods: We're a punk band from Des Moines, IA with strong opinions on snack foods and a tendency to get a little loud. https://bigbywoods.bandcamp.com/
