EAST COAST VS WEST COAST ACOUSTIC SHOWDOWN

No bands. No backup. Just songs and the people who wrote them.

Two punk lifers from opposite coasts strip it down and square off.

JASON PAUL (@jasonpaul_theknowitalls) rolls in from San Pedro, CA—frontman of Jason Paul & the Know It Alls, with roots in the Minneapolis punk scene and band members from Modern Machines, Holy Shit!, and Tenement. His sound? That psychedelic-tinged Pedro punk mixed with 60s protest folk and 80s post-hardcore. Albums like Tender Bender and the Homemade series prove the songs hit just as hard without the full band.

MICHELLE SHIRELLE (@hastybandbrooklyn) comes down from Brooklyn—Steinways and Scrapped Plans veteran, now fronting Hasty alongside Danny Z (The Marshmallows) and Mikey Erg. If you worship at the altar of 90s Lookout! Records, this is church. Ramshackle pop-punk gold, stripped to the studs.

One room. Two coasts. Your move.
