7:30pm – BoxNoise is an alt-rock band from the Chicago suburbs formed by three “emo-kids-at-heart,” bringing a melodic, high-energy sound with plenty of early-2000s alternative and emo-rock spirit. Their debut album is out now, and recent releases like “Once My Home” show a band leaning into big hooks, emotional vocals, driving guitars, and a polished modern-rock punch. Built for loud rooms and singalong moments, BoxNoise brings fresh suburban Chicago alt-rock energy with heart, volume, and plenty of nostalgia baked in.

8:30pm – Our Century In Pictures is a Chicago/Warrenville-area punk band bringing scrappy, loud, high-energy rock built for fast sets and rowdy rooms. Their sound leans into melodic punk, basement-show grit, and shout-along hooks, with releases including Basement E.P., If Only, their 2023 Self Titled EP, and the 2025 single “THPS Soundtrack.” Their socials keep it loose with the tagline “Live, Laugh, O.C.I.P.” — which pretty much fits the vibe: fun, loud, and ready to make a mess in the best way.

9:30pm – Downside Salesman is a Chicago punk band mixing hooky pop-punk, angular post-punk, and confessional emo into a loud, heartfelt, high-energy set. Their debut EP Wastehaven dropped in 2020, with songs about change, struggle, and trying to do better, and the band has stayed active on Chicago bills including Subterranean and Montrose Saloon. With Bobby on vocals/guitar, Ryan on bass, Zachariah on guitar, and Alissa on drums, Downside Salesman brings sharp hooks, big feelings, and scrappy Chicago punk energy built for a loud room.
