The Queers and Teenage Bottlerocket

Hailing from Wyoming, Teenage Bottlerocket is known for their punk rock sound with hits on topics like KISS and Top Gun. They've toured globally, often collaborating with producer Andrew Berlin. Their ninth album, "Sick Sesh!", praised by Fat Mike as their best, features intentionally noisy guitars. Despite two decades in the industry, their high-energy shows continue, proving they're far from slowing down.

The Queers, punk rockers from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, have delivered snotty, fast-paced music since 1982. Known for their no-frills punk anthems and puerile lyrics, they've put out notable albums like "Love Songs for the Retarded" (1993) and "Don't Back Down" (1996), influenced by the Ramones. Their key lineup was Joe King/Queer, Hugh O'Neill, and B-Face. They've collaborated with Screeching Weasel's Ben Weasel and released on labels like Lookout and Hopeless Records. Despite lineup changes and challenges, The Queers continue to shape punk with live albums and cover sets.
