Shotgun Funeral (release show), Woonds, Won’t Stay Dead, Boybrain

* Fever-dream core *
SHOTGUN FUNERAL is a 3-piece alternative, emo, punk band from Chicago with post-hardcore elements. Three writers/vocalists, two guitarists, one bassist, & one firey drummer, who experiment and ultimately have fun bending genres to leave listeners feeling nostalgic for the past, yet ingrained in the present.

Won't Stay Dead is a horror-themed punk band from Chicago, IL that blends catchy hooks and harmonies with macabre lyrics. The band formed in 2017 in and has been playing with the current lineup since late 2024. They have drawn comparisons to Alkaline Trio, The Bombpops, My Chemical Romance, and Veruca Salt.

In 2024, Won't Stay Dead's cover of the Enemy You track "Ex Machina" was featured on Red Scare Industries' 20th anniversary comp.
The band is looking forward to releasing their sophomore album and making their Gainesville Fest debut in 2025.

When you hear Boybrain you'll wonder how a voice that sounds like it's been gargling razor blades and whiskey can come from such a compact package. Patti (The Dials, New Black, Ratattack) returns with her new baby; a snarling pissed off baby reminiscent of 1980s Punk with a touch of woven in melody. Joining her on lead guitar is Inga (Wanton Looks) folding in a string of catchy virtuosic leads that she has become so well known for. A man in demand, drummer Colin of Propane! Propane! and formerly Boys on Trial has found his home in this band of piss and vinegar. On bass, Jonny, originally from Detroit and formerly of Lost Sounds adds energy with the perfect amount of grit. Boybrain's debut EP "In The Company Of Worms" was released 2/22/22. Boybrain's single "Cayo Hueso" dropped 6/28/2023 followed by their next single "Ratmouth" 10/15/2024 and their newest single "Nailbox" 2/14/2025.
