Black Wing Halo - (Set time: 10:30 PM)
Like kids rummaging the finest musical dumpster, Black Wing Halo (formerly decibel.) has mended parts and motors, soldered and stitched, to curate a new musical monster. Based on acoustic roots and rhythms, but driving with a distorted punk force, Black Wing Halo leaves no compact bin unturned. In fact, everything is recycled.
Ever-expanding with a love and admiration for noise, soundscapes and distorted vocals, Black Wing Halo is their own favorite radio station. It started by adding pedals to an acoustic guitar, and even more to a microphone, which became two microphones, displaying different voices to represent different ideas. Then they added bass. To expand from their acoustic roots, they started playing electric instruments, which led way to a distorted blend of rowdy punk, crunchy electronic, old school laden hip hop, Tom Waitsian carnival, wrapped in a little verse/chorus/verse pop.
Black Wing Halo continues to spread to the masses as well, having played SXSW, NXNE, and CMJ, as well as selling out boat cruises, and rocking Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
As of now, Black Wing Halo is putting the finishing touches on their first album with producer Jason Rubal (The Cure, NIN, Dresden Dolls, Killswitch Engage) and can’t wait to put it out there for all to enjoy.
True to their aural objective, this album will be unlike anything you have heard before.

We Run - (Set time: 9:30 PM)
We Run is a dynamic three-piece based out of Brooklyn, New York. Trading out the traditional electric bass guitar for a massive synth bass accompanied by biting electric guitar and pulsing dance beats, We Run are setting the tone for a style of music they like to call post-indie music.
Influenced by bands such as The Clash, Black Sabbath, and The Doors, We Run indulges in a brand of rock & roll that is on the rise in the hotbed of Brooklyn, NY. Their sound, brings mind T-Rex stylized guitar riffs flirting with dubstep as heard on their new single, “Like.”
With the release of their new self-titled EP, We Run is currently playing around the New York City area and promoting their new record.
