Formed in Chicago in 1980, Naked Raygun pioneered the Midwest post-hardcore movement by fusing blistering speed with massive, anthemic "whoa-oh" choruses.Led by frontman Jeff Pezzati, the band's signature melodic punch defined an era and directly influenced generations of punk icons, from Rise Against to Dave Grohl.

Born in Chicago’s DIY punk underground, Rise Against combines high-octane energy, massive melodic hooks, and uncompromising socio-political advocacy. From early Fat Wreck Chords classics to chart-topping multi-platinum anthems, they remain one of punk rock's defining modern voices.

Formed in 1977 in the San Fernando Valley, The Dickies are West Coast pop-punk pioneers famous for their fast-paced humor and hyper-speed rock 'n' roll covers.
