Joanna Gruesome + Aye Nako

Look past Joanna Gruesome's goofball name, and you'll find an ace indie-pop band—shoegazey and ’90s-besotted but also lovably caffeinated and youthful. Local queercore outfit Aye Nako sets the stage with its pop-punk-tinged punches aimed at the hardcore scene's overwhelming cisgender whiteness ("White Noise").
