Teen Idle
"Rock music for tender hearts." Teen Idle is NJ-based singer-songwriter Sara Abdelbarry, molded and sharpened by some of the most proficient musicians on the Jersey Shore, making cinematic rock that has earned praise from Rolling Stone and GQ and charted nationally on college radio just below Foo Fighters.
Rib & the Bones
Rib & the Bones is an alternative indie rock band based in Albany, NY. Distinguished by its female-fronted lineup and a powerful, dynamic sound, the group music is characterized by a compelling mix of emotive vocals, infectious rhythms, and gritty guitar riffs, all crafted to create a memorable listening experience.."
HOLDN
A multi-instrumentalist and producer who creates with deep intention, HOLDN weaves herself into every detail of her work - an artist through and through. Known for her captivating stage presence, HOLDN has left her mark on stages across the U.S., from Webster Hall to Vans Warped Tour, connecting with audiences through her candid, electric live performances.
Midcentury
Hunter Griffin's Asbury Park indie outfit, deep in the local circuit with regular sets at The Asbury Hotel, Wild Air, and Asbury Park Brewery. The band recently dropped "Magic," "Restless Days," and "Go Away," with more on the way..
Turn Two with Special Guests at Asbury Lanes
This bill is an ode to pop punk kids who never grew out of it, stacked with Jersey Shore veterans, South Jersey scene staples, a cello‑wielding trio out of nowhere, and a Philly crew whose debut album had the entire subreddit losing its mind. Expect gang vocals, nostalgic hooks, and the kind of sing‑along energy that turns Asbury Lanes into a time machine back to 2005, except everyone's better at their instruments now.
Turn Two (NJ)
Turn Two is a pop punk band from the Jersey Shore, blending the signature emotional nostalgia of early 2000s pop punk and emo with the energy and aggressiveness embraced by the genre. Comprised of past members from New York and New Jersey DIY pop punk staples With The Punches and Count To Four, they came together when founding members Shane Maziekien and Matt Favaloro connected with singer Mike Hayden through a mutual friend. Their debut EP Darkest Days dropped in November 2024, and their new EP Never Meant to Fit is coming summer 2026.turntwoband+1

FRND CRCL (NJ)
FRND CRCL (pronounced "Friend Circle") are one of South Jersey's standout pop punk bands, coined "key players in the new wave of pop punk on the scene" by New Noise Magazine and compared to blink‑182, Simple Plan, and Sum 41. Now signed to Vinnie Fiorello's (Less Than Jake) label Lost Music Collective, they dropped their fourth full‑length JRSY FRSH in 2025 and recently launched their own independent label, Crusty Wrapper Records.lostmusiccollective+3

Free Friends
Free Friends are an explosive pop punk trio consisting of husband and wife Ben and Lauren DeHan along with drummer Gil Perez. Collaborating with producers like Matt Malpass (blink‑182, Magnolia Park) and Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco), they've crafted a unique cello‑infused pop punk sound somewhere between blink‑182 and Neck Deep. Their dual vocals and emotionally charged lyrics are reminiscent of Taking Back Sunday's anthemic hooks, complemented by poignant cello leads comparable to Yellowcard's violin.freefriendsrock+1

Midfield (PA)
Philadelphia's Midfield deliver hot riffs, catchy hooks, and amped‑up melodies that bring the electricity of classic pop punk, intertwined with lyrics rooted in self‑reflection and sometimes somber messages. Their self‑titled debut full‑length brought nostalgic pop punk riffs, gang vocals, and that feeling of listening to the music that got you into pop punk in the first place, drawing from the playbooks of Blink‑182, New Found Glory, and The Wonder Years.midfield+2
