Details

Turn the volume up and circle May 31st, 2026 on your calendar—Chrome Zero, Blemish, and Peaceattack are storming into downtown Austin for a night built for loud guitars, sweaty singalongs, and unapologetically high energy.

This stacked lineup brings together bands that thrive on intensity: crunchy riffs, pounding drums, and vocals that cut right through the noise. If you live for small-venue shows where you can feel the kick drum in your chest and see every strum up close, this is exactly your scene.

Chrome Zero deliver riff-heavy tracks with driving rhythms and plenty of hooks—perfect for headbanging and shouting along from the front row.
Blemish bring a raw edge, mixing gritty tones and emotional punch for songs that feel both cathartic and chaotic in all the right ways.
Peaceattack keep the energy spiking with high-tempo songs, noisy textures, and that chaotic-good live presence that turns a show into an experience.

Expect a tight, late-night set starting at 9:00 pm—ideal for anyone who wants to cap off the weekend with heavy riffs instead of quiet reflection. It is the kind of show where you show up in dark clothes, leave with ringing ears, and wake up the next day with a new favorite band.

Bring your friends who love discovering new heavy acts, grab a spot near the stage, and get ready to shout, sweat, and stomp along to three bands built for the live setting. If you miss it, you will be hearing about it from everyone who did not.
