Horrible, Anything is Everything, King Sans

Formed in Chicago, Horrible’s current lineup began playing together in 2017. With a fresh batch of their signature brand of surfy goth punk songs for 2024, Horrible is considering recording a second album…but that would just be Horrible if that happened, wouldn’t it?Anything is Everything — self-proclaimed “Chicago’s Wurst Punk Band” — is a four piece outfit formed in 2018 with one plan: rule the world. Chicago’s altrock/noisepunk duo King Sans set out with each performance to combine visceral raw energy with melancholic lulls to deliver a night you won’t soon forget.
