BERET! - The notorious group of Americans that became so angry with society that they became French. Proclaiming that "only Americans need guitars", BERET! is simply bass, drums and intense French hardcore vocals. This is their triumphant return to Rock Hall after playing their first American performance there in 2001! New Bomb Turks- Four guys holding English degrees from Ohio State University, the New Bomb Turks have been declared as leaders in the punk rock revolution by spiked-haired, hardcore punkers everywhere. They are not pop-punk, but ferociously aggressive and fast, borrowing from the Pagans, Dead Boys, and so on. The Turks have not toured in a long time, but are coming together again for this very special show! Sponsored by the Rock Hall, Wonka Vision Magazine, Cleveland Free Times and BodyPunks.com |
