Instrumental prog rock/jazz runaway-train act Z Machine bring their chunky jams to the Old E with loose, snakish saxophone coiling round acrobatic guitar scrawl; Inscape offer a grand tour through a disparate forest of modern rock styles and Cities conjure tranquil ambient post-rock vistas.

A four-way showcase of shoegaze and pop-punk in states of glorious ruin! Thistle deliver lean, hooky songwriting wrapped in pedalboard scuzz; The Young Hearts offer emotionally charged, chorus-heavy bangers; Pushbike fuse the two genres in a scabrous spin on pop-punk; and Parkii’s “shoemo” embraces life on its shittiest terms with cathartic sincerity.
