The band is known for their intense and energetic live shows, as well as their catchy melodies and brash punk sound.</p><p>While every all-female punk band will draw inevitable comparisons to Bikini Kill, few deserve them more and want them less than the Venomous Pinks. They simply want to deliver the most intense, refined, in-your-face, high-energy hardcore punk regardless of gender or background.</p><p></p><p>The Venomous Pinks have shared the stage and earned the respect of a who's who of punk rock royalty, including Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, and NOFX. They have also played at some of the biggest festivals in the world, such as Punk Rock Holiday, Punk Rock Bowling, and BrakRock.</p><p></p><p>In 2022, The Venomous Pinks released their long-awaited debut LP, Vita Mors. The album perfectly encapsulates who The Venomous Pinks are in 2022: a fusion of unforgettably catchy melodies and brash punk that pushes forth the underlying messages of unity, equality, and positive mental attitude (PMA).</p><p></p><p>Whether you're looking for the slick hardcore punk musicianship of shredding guitars, pounding bass, and thunderous drums or the oft-inspiring message of a band capable of bringing generations of punk rockers together The Venomous Pinks are very much what the present and future look like. These ladies will rock your world in every room of the house, clear out to the parking lot. While their energetic stage performance exhibits a "work hard and play harder" mentality, this tight, punchy three-piece's unapologetic style will ravage your ears with their mix of punk and hardcore.</p><p></p><h2>United Defiance</h2><p>—</p><p>United Defiance is a punkrock band from the San Francisco Bay Area that plays a mix of skatepunk and melodic hardcore inspired by the iconic bands of 90’s-era Fat and Epitaph. Their tight sound and high-energy live shows have seen them sharing the stage with numerous headlining acts over the years including Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Good Riddance, Strung Out, and many others.</p><p></p><h2>Middle-Aged Queers</h2><p>—</p><p>With a live show Razorcake described as “feeling like I’d mainlined joy,” Middle-Aged Queers are a Bay Area supergroup of seasoned punks — ex-members of the Cost (Lookout Records), Fang (Boner Records), the Insaints (Maximumrocknroll Records), and the Shondes (Exotic Fever Records) — on a mission to make punk rock gay again. Since 2019, they’ve soaked stages from coast to coast (to Canada and Mexico!), including appearances at Gainesville’s Fest, Montreal’s Pouzza Fest, Punk Rock Bowling, and more.</p><p></p><h2>Angry Aztecs</h2><p>—</p><p>Bay Area Hardcore Punk/Thrash Est.
