Suicidal Tendencies

When you’re done pretending you’re too cool for a Thursday night mosh pit, Suicidal Tendencies is here to rip you from your ennui and launch you headfirst into a sonic frenzy. The forefathers of crossover thrash are crashing into town like a caffeine-fueled skateboarder, bringing their raw, relentless energy that defies your indie nihilism. Picture this: a sweaty basement full of lost kids screaming every word to "Institutionalized," each riff slicing through your existential dread like a lightning bolt of pure, unadulterated adrenaline. It’s a night where the walls breathe with the echoes of '80s rebellion, and the only rule is that you let go of all the rules. You’ll leave with bruises, a shredded voice, and a renewed faith in the power of pure punk chaos. Miss this, and you’ll be stuck watching TikToks of it from your couch, wishing you’d lived a little louder.

If your life feels like a rerun of a B-side track, Powerhouse is about to warp your reality. On October 1, Smirk is headlining a lineup that reads like a who's who of the underground surge. Smirk's post-punk ethos is the sonic equivalent of a late-night cityscape, all angular riffs and shadowy intrigue. They’re bringing their enigmatic allure to Powerhouse, where even the walls sweat cool.

But hold your horses—before you think it’s all about Smirk, The Stitches have enough rollicking punk energy to dismantle the patriarchy and sew it back together with safety pins. Situations?

Expect earth-shattering drops and synth waves so lush they could make Washed Out sound like a dial-up connection. The duo's set is a high-voltage blend of dubstep, house, and trap that’s as unpredictable as it is addictive—a neon-lit rabbit hole you’ll dive headfirst into and emerge from blissfully disoriented.
