[DID NOT ATTEND: June 21, 2024] Folly / Paulson / Teenage Halloween / The Best of the Worst / Silk Sheets
I heard about this show because I saw Teenage Halloween open for THICK and really liked them. I assumed they were headlining, but as more details came to light, they were in the middle of five bands I knew I wasn’t going to go.
Folly are a screaming punk band.
Hailing from northern NJ, Folly’s eclectic sound fuses the fury of hardcore, chaos of metal, urgency of punk rock, and jubilation of ska/reggae. They are known for their energized and immersive live shows,
Paulson was from Midland Park which is near where I grew up. They apparently broke up many years ago and this is their first show in 12 years.
The Best of the Worst are a new Jersey ska-core band. So it’s screaming punk, with horns!
Silk Sheets are another Jersey band that are the loudest and most cathartic of the lineup.
Teenage Halloween definitely rocks, but they don;t seem to be quite heavy enough for this show. This would have been exhausting.
