Lagwagon (USA)
Three cheers for all fans of melodic skate punk! For the second time we can look forward to the performance of the Fat Wreck Chord. Lagwagon got together in 1990 and have nine albums, several singles and a joint split with Jughead’s Revenge to their credit. The only reason why this band, unlike their peers like Green Day, Offspring and Blink 182, didn’t break into the mainstream is because they were able to resist all major label offers and stayed where they were best. Definitely don’t miss their awesome cocktail of ultra melodic and snappy punk rock!
Mad Caddies (USA)
The last performance of the Mad Caddies at the Mighty Sounds festival took place in Olší in 2008. It must be added that for some members of the team Mad Caddies are an absolute heartthrob. The band’s roots are rooted somewhere in the fertile soil of ska punk, but in recent years the band has found itself more in the waters of American-style reggae. This is also evidenced by their latest, among other great records, Arrows Room 117. We are looking forward to see where the band has moved in the seventeen years since their appearance in Olší.
Big D and The Kids Table (USA)
We tried repeatedly, but in vain, to reach Big D during their greatest glory. We are all the more pleased that they have found their way to our festival after all these years, as they are one of our very favourite bands. Bands that many of us from the team performed with and bands that we organized concerts for in the noughties.
Leftöver Crack (USA)
When Leftover Crack first performed at Mighty Sounds, it was a great discovery. Today, eleven years later, we can almost speak of a well-worn legend. The heirs of the wonderful Choking Victim, with Scott Surgeon’s unmistakable voice, are a brilliant message to the Mighty backstage. Scott has a voice completely different from the other singers, and even the tunes of this formation, although so incredibly memorable, sound completely different and fresh. The band initially went through a lot of people, like the original drummer from the Beastie Boys and Suicidal Tendencies, or even the penultimate drummer from The Slackers. However, after the second album and the death of the drummer, the band broke up and only returned to the music boards that mean the world in 2007 with a joint split album with Citizen Fish. We’re curious to see how the band has evolved again.
