A definite must-see. I went to the Metro Times or Hamtramck Blowout, whatever you want to call it last year, one day only, and there was not one band I saw that I didn’t like. I tried hopping from venue to venue one night to see as much as I could, and as much as it pained me to leave the good music I saw, I knew the next band would be a regret to miss. Indeed, best of the day I saw included: Zoos of Berlin, JSB Squad, and The Sights.
This year I’ll be doing some research to get the most out of Blowout, but preliminary awesome bands to check out from this year’s lineup are: Lord Scrummage, Jesse and the Gnome, Phantasmagoria, and The Juliets.
Seriously though, this is just a preliminary recommendation of bands I’m already familiar with. Check back for most posts with painstakingly researched sounds leading up to the festival.
