Good Look Sigourney - 2:15pm
Adorable punk rock from the east coast, Good Look, Sigourney is all about having a good time. Good Look, Sigourney fluidly combines in-your-face guitars with infectious dance rhythms alongside conscience lyrics and heavy melodies. They really dig what they do and hope you do too! With one of the fastest growing fan bases in New Jersey, if not the east cost, Good Look, Sigourney is primed to catch your attention this year. On August 18th of 2017 the band released their second thematic ep, titled Mars Will Send No More. The bands first ep, An Aquatic Situation (2016) along with Mars Will Send No More are available on ITunes, Bandcamp and Spotify as well.
Musically Good Look, Sigourney isn't easy to define. One fan described them as a cross between the Foo Fighters and Goldfinger while another fan referred to them as the Beatles of punk rock. However one thing is for sure and that is their undeniable cuteness. The band is quickly becoming known for their high energy live performance and their undoubtedly catchy songs. Songs like "Chutes and Ladders" and "Glitter" have a feel as if you would hear them on a pop top 40 station while songs like "Just Time" and "Ceiling" are songs you would expect to hear in a dingy punk rock dive bar. Take a listen for yourself or catch them in a town near you..
Evil Snout - 1:30pm
