The Sonics are one of the greatest punk bands of all time. Formed in 1960 they preceded other punk bands by four years with three-chord rock and roll, an explosive sound and attitude with fuzz guitars, wild screams and thumping rhythms. Songs like "The Witch," "Psycho," and "Strychnine" have become a cornerstone of many new garage-punk bands today. They have been covered by artists of the stature of The Cramps, The Flaming Lips, Mudhoney and The Fall. The current lineup for this tour consists of Rob Lind, Dusty Watson and Evan Foster, plus new members Joe Doria and Tom Jorgenson.

Los Torontos are a kind of rock and roll supergroup influenced by the music of the 1950s and 1960s. Their musical style straddles frat rock, garage and rhythm and blues. Formed by Agustí Burriel on vocals and rhythm guitar, Spencer Evoy  on vocals and sax, El Lega  on lead guitar, Javier R. Cortés on electric bass and Berto Martínez on drums, their sound drinks from The Kingsmen, The Sonics, Sam The Sham, Chuck Berry and Johnny Guitar Watson. In just over three years they have toured festivals all over Europe and have accompanied international musicians such as Barrence Whitfield and Deke Dickerson.

Sinciders, the energetic punk-rock band formed in Barcelona in 2015 have released their latest studio work, SUPERMEGAFUCK E.P., self-produced by the definitive line-up: Sardi (vocals), Alex (guitar), Fer (drums), Heitor ( bass) and Gastón (guitar). This album follows the line of its predecessor in terms of style, punk rock indebted to Crypt from the 1990s (New Bomb Turks, Nine Pound Hammer, Lazy Cowgirls...), with flashes of high-energy and Detroit-style proto-punk, but now with a more raw and direct sound thanks to self-production.
