Desert Sharks with special guests
Get ready for a wild one in The Basement as Labretta Suede & The Motel 6 and Desert Sharks roll through with a stack of loud, grimy, hook‑heavy rock bands built for low ceilings and spilled drinks. This lineup swings from unhinged rock’n’roll spectacle to gloom‑punk grit and Jersey‑bred alt‑rock, perfect for anyone who likes their riffs dirty, their choruses big, and their basement shows just unhinged enough that the hot soup dripping from the ceiling might not actually be soup at all.

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

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
