Riot Fest 2021 Preview – Knuckle Puck, White Lung, Radkey

Knuckle Puck – Sunday

We’ve saw them at Riot Fest 2017 on the Rise stage.  Pop punk/emo akin to last week’s post.  But probably my favorite.  They sound a little different.  Plus their name came from a hockey term in the Mighty Ducks movie.  And they are Chicago locals.

White Lung – Sunday

Canadian punk RiotGrrrrl.  From Vancouver.  Good.  Very good.  Three piece (no bass).  Their singer, Mish Barber-Way moved to LA and is married to the singer of the stoner rock band Saviours.  She’s a journalist and is the executive editor of Penthouse.  Jimmy probably reads her all the time if he’s not just looking at pictures.

Radkey – Friday

Punk version of Hanson.  Brothers from the Radke family.  And they freaking bring it.  Also will be at Lollapalooza so making a return trip to Chicago a few weeks later (they’re from the midwest).  Maybe we’ll get a scouting report from our Lolla friends.
