Some lineup highlights include the ambitious English-major rock of Deep Sea Diver, led by guitar heroine Jessica Dobson; the fathoms-deep dream rock of Stranger Genius nominee Erik Blood; the dubstep-informed hiphop subversion of DoNormaal; the heavy, female-empowering rock of Thunderpussy; the wry, wise, and incisive rock of Chastity Belt; the punchy, ingratiating garage pop of Pony Time; and the tart, taut rock of Snuff Redux.
