SABON is a high energy, female fronted, four piece, ska/punk band from Clev OH! Their all original music is heavily inspired by Less than Jake, Rise Against, and Strung Out. With Sophia on Lead Vox and Tenor Sax, Sylvia on Guitar, Vox, and Trombone, Ava on Bass and Vox, and Caleb on Drums. These four high-schoolers bring some absolute punk energy to the stage! Their debut album "They Call Me" dropping August 16th, includes 14 ripping tracks that'll take you back to the early 90s roots of ska/punk.

The Boy Detective started as a recording project between two friends to sing ska-punk songs about their kids and wives and to get out of the house a few times a month. Nic Good (guitar, vocals, eating) and Benny Capaul (vocals, embalming) worked this way on and off for two years until deciding to get serious a few months before Covid shut everything down.
The band took the time off to write and record Banned From the Bathtub in 2021, emerging from covid hibernation the opposite of a bear: fatter and more tired. Soon after, Geridan St Peter (trombone, shaved ice) and Seth Urban (saxophone, having a cool mom) signed on and the band played their first show in April of 2022.
A bit later, Ricky Held (bass, actual talent) joined and the band started the process of writing and recording their magnum opus: Art Theft (2024). Hailed by critics as “definitely music” and “pretty good”, the band used the momentum earned to launch themselves into the stratosphere, and also to buy some Nacho Fries at Taco Bell.
Oh, yeah. Zach Marshall (drums, being very nice) and Emily Steils (trumpet, loves LaCroix) joined in 2024. The Megazord was fully formed. After signing to Punkerton in 2024, The Boy Detective is ready to take over the world, or at least the shake machine at your local McDonalds…
