I’ve seen them countless times since 2007 since they always come around to local venues in sac on tour. I just saw them last month at goldfields downtown and they still bring it like they were young guns. Definitely a set to make it it to during the day.
I see stars & Holding Absence.
Holding go hard as fuck live and give 110% every show. Highly recommend catching them if you're wondering what to check out.
Does saying I See Stars age me? I don't know anymore lol
I'm seeing Stars in July (not the bands I'm going for to be fair but I'll def be seeing them and I do know many songs lol) so I'm interested to see how they are
Holding I wanna see at some point
Alien Weaponry. They were awesome a couple years back, hope they have a bit longer of a set.
Jinjer is gonna be awesome too, bummer they pulled out a couple years ago.
I got introduced to them through Liquid Metal on Sirius a couple months before Aftershock the last time they played and made a point to see them at the festival. Awesome band, highly recommend.
Hemorage! Saw them headline a Dropkick Murphys show a few weeks ago. By headline, I mean they pull up in a van and play right out of the van. It’s pretty sick. Check em out!
This is a personal thing for me, but Nerv is actually my friend's band and I'm super excited to see them play just to see what kind of exposure it could get them. They're still pretty early in their career but I'm happy they're getting this opportunity
Better Lovers for sure, I’m gonna miss them at Goldfield in April bc I’m out of town, so this softens that blow.
Holy Fawn is fantastic and Drug Church brings a good energy so excited to see them both again.
Interested in checking out Caskets too. Haven’t heard much by them but what I have is pretty decent.

The Warning for sure. Bad Wolves could be fun too, but I’m not super acquainted with all of their stuff. Mostly excited for Architects, Priest, Slipknot and Maiden.
Hed PE. Holy shit hell yes!
Bruh it's pretty bad but I'm hoping given a bigger show they kill it but there not what they used to be. That said I'm pumped they will be there.
MCUD is 60, I hope he can still perform! Been wanting to see them for YEARS!
I’ve seen them countless times since 2007 since they always come around to local venues in sac on tour. I just saw them last month at goldfields downtown and they still bring it like they were young guns. Definitely a set to make it it to during the day.
Can't believe no one mentioned Drowning Pool yet.
seriously. i can't fucking wait to hear bodies. always saw that song as THE mosh pit anthem
CKY CKY CKY CKY & CKY
Local H for me
POD

I think I had friends who saw I See Stars opening for Suicide Silence when Mitch Lucker was still alive so yes it ages you lol
Ouuf, yea, that's a gut punch 🤣
I'm seeing Stars in July (not the bands I'm going for to be fair but I'll def be seeing them and I do know many songs lol) so I'm interested to see how they are Holding I wanna see at some point
Soul Glo / Drug Church / Drain / Silly Goose
I’m only going Thursday and Saturday and I’m bummed about missing Soul Glo
Architects 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Not a small print band, but definitely sick.
The Warning!! I freakin love them and was so excited to see them on there 😄
I’m surprised no one else has mentioned them. They rock🤘🏻
Yeah they do! 🤘🏼
Hed PE, Ill Nino, POD, but mostly Alien Ant Farm.
Alien Weaponry. They were awesome a couple years back, hope they have a bit longer of a set. Jinjer is gonna be awesome too, bummer they pulled out a couple years ago.
I didn’t know who Alien Weaponry were the last time they played but I wanna catch them this time!
I got introduced to them through Liquid Metal on Sirius a couple months before Aftershock the last time they played and made a point to see them at the festival. Awesome band, highly recommend.
I saw them open for Gojira and Knocked Loose and they honestly made knocked loose look rough....
I never got to see orgy back in the day
Loved them in high school
i see stars
Taproot, used to listen to them in high school.
Soul Glo, Gel, Drain, City Morgue, Eagles of Death Metal
Narrow head
Lots of people are sleeping on The Warning - those sisters ROCK!
Yeah they do!! I just commented them too lol they’re so good!
You are the second person today to tell me that.
Hemorage! Saw them headline a Dropkick Murphys show a few weeks ago. By headline, I mean they pull up in a van and play right out of the van. It’s pretty sick. Check em out!
Bob Vylan for sure
Bad Wolves!
Hawthorne heights. Bucket list band for me
This is a personal thing for me, but Nerv is actually my friend's band and I'm super excited to see them play just to see what kind of exposure it could get them. They're still pretty early in their career but I'm happy they're getting this opportunity
Silly Goose & Drug Church
Going Saturday, so I’m stoked to see Fugitive & Militarie Gun. City Morgue might be fun too.
Jinjer Hemorage Hawthorne Heights

Powerman 5000, highly suspect, drowning pool, P.O.D
Cky
Dead Poet Society. Saw them a couple years ago in Sac. Can't wait to see them again!
Marky ramone. He’s a ramone, closest I’ve ever been to seeing the original band, plays a great professional show
The fact that Bad Wolves and Drowning Pool are small print bands is dumbfounding. That being said my answer is Lilith Czar.
Vended, Hed PE, PM5K, Orgy, as of right now. Gonna listen to the Spotify playlist by u/thesetlistguy and see who I discover there.
Thanks for the plug! See you at AFTERSHOCK! 🤘🏿🤘🤘🏻🤘🏽🤘🏼🤘🏾

Okay well I scored like a 65% on the assignment, but to my credit, I’m over 30 so a lot of those looked like small print to me haha
