This isn’t just about live music — it’s about sharing space, singing back lyrics, and sweating in communion. From Toronto’s Velvet Underground to NYC’s Racket, each stop is a ritual.
🔥 Three Bands, One Experience
This tour represents the best of three punk subgenres: melodic hardcore (KOYO), 5th-wave emo (Ben Quad), and classic hardcore (Restraining Order). It’s rare to see such a sonic balance in one lineup.
