August 1: Neverending Winter and G.Y.K
Two Russian bands, Neverending Winter and G.Y.K, will take Brown Sugar Jar’s stage for a night of heavy metal music. Sounding like Jethro Tull on death-metal steroids, Neverending Winter formed from the vestige of hardcore punk bands Stomp Out and Louder Than Words. G.Y.K., on the other hand, is more post-punk screamo.
