THE RED PEARS
Hailing from El Monte, a sleepy suburban town just east of Los Angeles, Henry Vargas (vocals/guitar), and Jose Corona (drums), draw their sound from the spectrum between the early 2000s New York indie rock and grunge scene to the cumbia and corridos that soundtracked their childhoods. After cycling through an assortment of lineups, mutual friend and bassist Patrick Juarez (bass) expanded their operation. Now a solid three-piece band, the emerging alt-rockers have come a long way from meeting at a local Battle of the Bands, practicing in their garages, and naming themselves after their favorite color and a pun on the word “pair”— a subtle nod to sonic inspirations The White Stripes and The Black Keys.

ULTRA Q
One of the most fascinating things a music lover can do is witness the growth of a young artist. It starts as an inkling or a glimmer of natural talent and expands into something vast and formidable.
Jakob Armstrong — youngest son of Green Day frontman Billie Joe — began playing guitar at seven years old and honed his craft privately until about sixteen, then playing in bands in and around Oakland after meeting friends with like-minded tastes in music. Soon enough, with the memories of Ultraman action figures fighting in his head, he and a group of friends he cultivated from those years playing around and pouring over records, formed Ultra Q. Its name is inspired by an Ultraman prequel series; a deep cut for import action series lovers.

THE HIGH CURBS
The High Curbs are a staple of the Southern California music scene. The band was formed by Ed Moreno and Aaron Korbe in 2013 as young teens in the suburban landscape known as the Inland Empire. They were joined by Alberto Alvarenga when the band began to tour in 2016, he’s remained a pillar to the group ever since. In recent years, the band welcomed Kenny Huerta on bass and Taylor Hecocks of King Shelter on second guitar. The band has put out a massive collection of music throughout the last decade, releasing 3 records, a series of singles, and EPs.
The High Curbs have gathered notoriety over song” Want” thanks to Thrasher’s “King of the road”.
The band is currently working on a new record set to release sometime in 2024.
