Modus Fire

With a sound like a monster truck blazing through the dunes, DESERT RUNNER are here to rip rock'n'roll a new one! Lead vocalist Jen with her explosive stage presence and pure rock star energy, the band with hard and heavy riffs and huge beats - they're conjuring stoner rock through heavy metal and have an absolutely WILD time doing it. In support are MODUS FIRE: riffy, proggy punk with a brass section. Imagine Coheed & Cambria meets Rise Against, with cinematic horn lines worked in and you're somewhere in the ballpark. Modus Fire are ripping up stages along the east coast in 2025 and will be launching a new single on the day of the show, leading up to their debut LP release in July. HOKKAIDO are heavy and moody, reminiscent of Deftones-era sludge with a massive, booming rock sound that talks to introspection and deep thought. Technical yet accessible, this shoegaze-y brand of hard rock speaks from (and to) the heart.
