Warped

Warped @ Honi-Honi Bar

Honi-Honi Bar 19745 Garrett Hwy, Oakland

Based out of State College, PA, this is a high energy 4-piece pop punk/alt rock cover band delivering big sounds with huge songs. It’s kind of like that teen movie from the early 2000s where the soundtrack is Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, and Good Charlotte. If it had energy and was on the radio anywhere between the 90’s and 2000’s, they probably would have played it. Spend your Saturday evening with the band at the bar! Catch their live set at 9:00 PM!
