Before the weekend even gets going, Melting Trends is throwing the match that lights the whole thing on fire. Four of the Jerseys rowdiest bands are stacking a single bill for one unofficial kickoff, and this one comes with a twist….it's a farewell to Tiki Tortures very own leader, Chaz. Get to the Backyard early, and get the weekend started off right.
DRKHRT is a rock band from Asbury Park, NJ. Their debut Wild Dreams EP is a full-throttle blast of fuzz, riffs, and retro rock rebellion, with new music written and recorded coming at you.
