This Friday we can finally come up for air after being drowned in unending hardcore shows. An actual mixed bill show with no hardcore bands in sight! That means none of those kids will be here so you can actually stretch out in the venue and just soak in the riffs.
This show will feature brand new Glenwood HS metal band Martyr, Peoria indie rock The Blank Stairs (sorry Brain misspelled your name on the flier), Indianapolis psych-rock Cairo Jag, and local rockers Crash Planet
New vinyl releases this Friday!
– CAGE THE ELEPHANT with their sixth studio album, “Neon Pill” going to be available on black and indie exclusive milky vinyl.
– BILLIE EILISH is here with a NEW album, “Hit Me Hard And Soft” on exclusive blue vinyl.
– A re-issue of BEN FOLDS FIVE 1997 album “Whatever And Ever Amen” (black vinyl)
– Wow! Compilation “NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL K-POP” (this is great because a lot of K-pop artists we are not able to get on vinyl)
– SLASH of Guns N Roses fame is here with a new album “Orgy Of The Damned”
– Aaaaand a new album from AVETT BROTHERS – their self-titled? Available black and exclusive light blue.
We will also have copies of the last SHELLAC album which features the late Steve Albini
This week Pepperoni has picked SZA
“My pick this week is R&B / neo soul singer SZA’s 2017 debut album “Ctrl.” (Feels like a very new album still, but it was 7 whole years ago)! Still, one of the best selling albums to come out in the last decade, this double LP is also in the Rolling Stone’s top 500 albums and was also nominated for four Grammys! With features from artists Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, and more.”
Saturday is gonna be a big day for downtown with Springfield Pridefest, The Famer’s Market, and the Old Capital Art Fair all going on at the same time. Then Saturday night we’re back to the same ol hardcore. For this show we have SPY and Jivebomb from Baltimore, Destiny Bond from Denver, and locals Shroud and Sock ‘Em. I guess this one is a little more notable since it costs $20. Good luck to all the bands.
