Broadside

Richmond, VA, US · 2010–present · active
Broadside formed in Richmond, Virginia in 2010 and grew from a regional pop-punk act into a polished alternative rock band centered on Oliver Baxxter's vocals and emotionally direct songwriting. Old Bones established the band for Pure Noise-era pop-punk listeners, with "Coffee Talk" and related songs using bright guitars, quick tempos, and anxious romantic detail. Paradise and Into the Raging Sea broadened the palette, bringing bigger production, more varied rhythms, and a willingness to let the songs lean into pop without removing the guitar foundation. Hotel Bleu and later material with Thriller Records continued that shift, emphasizing atmosphere, hooks, and adult restlessness while keeping the band connected to the scene that first supported them. Broadside are not heavy, but they fit the punk and emo-pop scope through their roots, touring context, and guitar-based urgency. Their strongest work turns self-doubt, distance, reinvention, and relationship strain into compact choruses, and the band's history shows a gradual move from fast scene pop punk toward modern alternative rock without severing the original emotional vocabulary completely.

Bush

London, GB · 1992–present · active
London's Bush rode the grunge wave to massive commercial success in the mid-1990s, with Gavin Rossdale's brooding vocals and the band's heavy, radio-friendly alternative rock on 'Sixteen Stone' and 'Razorblade Suitcase' selling millions of copies worldwide. Though more popular in America than their native UK, Bush's string of hit singles including 'Glycerine,' 'Machinehead,' and 'Swallowed' made them one of the decade's defining rock acts.
