gnarfest

Chicago punk-geared festival, Gnar Fest, is slated to take place at the Swerp Mansion on August 4 from noon on. The all-day fest features performances from over 25-acts including Joyce Manor, Sed Non Satiata, Hop Along, T'bone, Algernon Cadwallader, and many more. Admission is $20 at the door; all ages are welcome. Check out the full lineup below.

Los Angeles' Joyce Manor released their sophomore LP, Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired, earlier this year via Asian Man Records. Sample their great 90's emo-meets-indie rock sound via Spotify. The group will be touring with Algernon Cadwallader in August, which includes a stop for both of them at this festival.

Sed Non Satiata (translation: Still Not Satisfied) are a French melodic post-hardcore band, whose members are currently scattered around the world (some still in France, one in Montreal, and one in Chicago). They'll be touring the US with Big Kids, who Joyce Manor released a split with in 2011, this summer and will be recording their new LP at Electrical Audio at the end of August (no word on who exactly will be behind the boards). Stream and/or download their output so far via their website.
