Save Ferris is a ska-punk band formed in Orange County, California circa 1995. Their name is a reference to the 1986 film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Lead by the inimitable front-woman Monique Powell, the band enjoyed mainstream success in the late 1990s with radio hits, constant touring and appearances on a variety of television shows and movies.

The band released their debut EP “Introducing Save Ferris” on Powell’s own Starpool Records, in 1996. They ended up selling close to 20,000 copies of their EP out of the trunks of their cars, thanks to loyal fans and huge support from Orange County independent record shops. That same year, Powell provided vocals on the Reel Big Fish song “She Has A Girlfriend Now” on their album “Turn the Radio Off” (Mojo).

“..Singer/guitarist Aly Jados roars, her gravelly vocals punctuated by beefed-up power chords and crashing drums, as she spins tales of shape-shifters and women who will “put you to shame.” The band’s 2016 self-titled EP is a crash course in what to expect. Get familiar.” – Jessi Roti, Chicago Tribune Chicago punk outfit Blood People wanna rock ya. Started by Aly Jados and Jeff Loehrke, their style of heavy punk rock can deliver chills and gut punches. Soaring vocals, gnasty riffs and thunderous rhythms galore. Come get cha some.

Burn Rebuild is a punk rock band from Chicago started by guitarist Brian Hampson and lead singer/bassist, Franky Tsoukalas. In 2013, the guys started up to relieve the stress of college while they both pursued degrees in their 30’s at UIC. The main goal of the band is to play and write as much as adult life allows. Though the band has had many…many member changes, all members that have come and gone in Burn Rebuild have always been friends of the band. Now with a solidified lineup and their EP Losing Grip, the guys are looking to bring their take on punk to the streets of Chicago. They’re not touring. They have kids and dogs and shit…and it probably just isn’t in the cards. However, come out to a show in Illinois and go check out their ep at www.burnrebuild.bandcamp.com
