The Modern Era
For 15 years, The Modern Era has been serving up loud, fast, hook-heavy punk rock with enough attitude to shake the walls and enough melody to stick in your head for days. Born in Minneapolis and raised on stages, dive bars, clubs, and festivals, the band has built its reputation the old-fashioned way: one show at a time. Revitalized in 2022, The Modern Era returned with a renewed fire, bringing together longtime members and new blood to push the band into its next chapter. Leading the charge is lead singer Jack Swagger, alongside brothers Ben and Nick Pelowski. Joining the lineup in recent years are Chris Fister, Josh Ripley and Jake Hall!! Just punk rock and roll played exactly the way it was meant to be.
TOO LOUD? TOO BAD! 🤘
Oister Boy
Evoking a frenetic energy and monstrous sound, Oister Boy is a thrashy grunge punk four piece with a striking feral potency. Hailing from Minneapolis, the band began playing together early 2022 and have since cultivated a commanding live set with eccentric instrumental nuance and poignant melodic motifs.
The band has become known for pursuing any opportunities that come their way, whether it’s touring in a Punk Rock Ballet, developing a side-scrolling beat-em-up game, or hosting their own festival featuring some of the areas best music. Currently working on their third record, and gearing up for upcoming shows, both locally and abroad. Oister Boy is the puissant rock juggernaut on the scene and an adorable force to be reckoned with.

Astro Brat
Astro Brat is a midwestern rock duo hailing from Des Moines, Iowa, made up of drummer/vocalist Ryan McGrew and bassist Ambrose Lupercal.
