The Battalion of Saints were one of the most legendary bands of San Diego's early Hardcore Punk Scene. Their songs were nonstop blasts of adrenaline and raw power. The Batts were one of the most furious and nihilistic bands in all of Southern California in the early to mid 80's: in 5 years the band accomplished unforgettable performances leaving a deep impression and influence on the Punk Rock scene. The original band broke up in 1985. The mainstay of the band is the singer, George Anthony. In 1995, George reformed the band with his friend Terry Bones (Discharge, Broken Bones, UK Subs). They put out a few records and toured through the late 90's. In 2002 Battalion of Saints reformed, the current line-up includes San Diego Veterans Matt Anderson (Heroin) on bass, Scott Bartoloni (Heroin, Clikitat Ikatowi) on guitar, Steve Gearhardt "Gearbox" (Total Chaos) and Mario Rubalcaba (Clikitat Ikatowi, RFTC, Hot Snakes) sharing duties on drums, and enlisting old friend and partner in crime Londis Kues "TK" (Crucified Youth, TOF) on guitar.

The Humblers are a blistering punk band founded in the country’s oldest commercial BDSM dungeon by two seasoned professional Dominatrices. NorCal pop-punk vet Gloria De Los Cielos (née Anna Joy Esparza) and newcomer Stormy Squires provides bass and vocals. Drum duties are handled by a rotating cast of “Drum Submissives”, whose identities are as secret to the Humblers as they are to the audience. They are also supported by their trusty producer Baz The Frenchman who - despite such impressive production credits such as NOFX, Fishbone, and the Codefendants - generously lends his expertise to assist them with carrying equipment into venues. 
 Their debut EP, “Pleased To Beat You”, contains fast-paced five songs that clock in just under seven minutes when played straight through. Produced by the legendary Greg Hetson of Circle Jerks and Bad Religion fame, the songs deal with the sometimes unglamourous realities of sex work and the many misconceptions that outsiders have of those who do it. This emerging genre has been coined “Domme Core” by the band and offers a unique, humorous perspective into a once-secretive world.

Less Than Perfect is Eric Lawrence (guitar/vocals), Chris Glenn (bass/vocals), and Kyle Cox (drums). The band is from Southern California and performs regularly in Los Angeles, Orange County, Las Vegas, and elsewhere. Founded in 2022, Less Than Perfect's music combines muscular riffs, punk rock ferocity, and provocative songwriting. The band's albums are self-produced at their studio space in Ridgecrest, California.
