Emerging from the underground skate and punk scenes of San Diego, Cardboxer Boxer is a rising force in today’s indie rock world. They have spent the past 6 years developing a signature sound that can be described as an orgy of emotion, rebellion, and raw attitude, with lyrics that speak to the experience of youth culture. The band’s reputation for throwing rowdy live shows have taken them to stages like the Constellation Room and headlining gigs at SOMA, packing the venues with their loyal fans called “Boxheads”. In summer of 2022, Cardboard Boxer released their 4th album titled “Current Youth” on Postmark Records. “Current Youth” touches on the topics of wasted youth and growing up, demonstrating their maturity as musicians while staying true to their unique sound. Currently recording new music for 2023, the members of Cardboard Boxer are continuing their pursuit in entertaining the masses, fighting mediocrity, and most of all, having fun. Grave Secrets is a 4 piece band formed in 2020. With deep roots in Los Angeles, CA, every member of the band has a profound love for music and shows. With early beginnings in the LA Hardcore scene, the band embodies a blend of heavy, melodic & punk sounds. They are set to release a heavily teased full length album in late 2023 with several single releases scheduled along the way. Over 20 music photographers from Los Angeles and beyond will be showcasing their work in Scenes From the Pit: A Music Photography Exhibition. All ages
