It’s October and you know what that means, the Fest will be here in here no time. Leading up to the weekend of the 26th, we will have a new spotlight every Wednesday showcasing a non-headlining act that we think you need to check out down in Gainesville. For the first installment of Band Spotlight: Fest Edition, we focus on the Midwest’s drunken-troublemakers known as Off With Their Heads. These boys have been pounding out slurry, sloppy, angsty pop punk for a few years now.

Although we gotta wait a bit longer to figure out what time each band will go on, the Fest has made it a bit easier to start planning for the massive weekend by announcing the day-to-day band assignment. Bust out the notebooks kids…and start planning it all out here.

Another year, another Fest. Gainesville’s premiere punk rock music festival (and what many would consider Woodstock, but you know, punk as fuck) is back again for another year with an even crazier lineup. More details can be found at The Fest’s website, but if you want just a small fraction of what the lineup so far, we’ll give you a tease:

Naked Raygun ( as well as The Bomb), American Steel, Dillinger Four, 108, The Lawrence Arms, Avail, Seaweed, Paint it Black, The Marked Men, J Church, Modern Life Is War, Toys That Kill, Radon, The Draft, and many more amazing bands we couldn’t possibly fit in one post.

Go buy tickets now and find out all the details you need to know on the website!

Yesterday Ruiner made a Myspace bulletin announcing that they are confirmed to play The Fest 6 this October alongside several other bands, including Naked Raygun. So far, the official site for The Fest doesn’t have any listed confirmations. Last year The Bomb, headed by Jeff Pezzati, played a few Naked Raygun songs during their set at The Fest 5. Below is the original Myspace bulletin posted by Ruiner:

“RUINER IS ON THE FEST 6 IN GAINESVILLE FL!:
So we need a place to crash all 3 days. Can anyone help us?
www.thefestfl.com
A ton of bands have been confirmed… Naked Raygun, matt and kim, Seaweed, Dillinger Four, Torche, Avail, Municipal Waste, 108, The Marked Men, Lawrence Arms, Paint It Black, Lifetime and a shit load morePlaying the fest will partly coincide with a semi US tour attempting at making up roughly all the dates we missed this summer. Expect an announcement soon about that.”
