We are Slap Bunt. We are a Chicago based Garage Punk Band. We just released our self made debut album “Family Unfriendly” on in Oct 2023. We play hard funky fast music that will make you want to cry and dance.

The band consists of Singer/Guitar Blake Bisaillon, Drummer Joe Kambic, Bassist JJ Padovani and Rhythm Guitar Dan Pourroy. Originally formed in June of 2018 from childhood friends Blake and Joe. With the inevitable joining of Dan and JJ in 2022 they kicked started the most productive era of the band. Mixing styles of punk, country, metal, and whatever genre they feel like, Slap Bunt takes the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions.

We are planning on getting out there and dig our teeth into the Chicago music scene to really get our music to ears that want to listen!

Pepper Said is an indie rock band that specializes in sharp lyrics & storytelling through emotive, dance-inducing hooks. This is accomplished due to the artistic collaboration & dramatic performances by Pepper, Brian Zellmer, Thomas McCollum & Ben Proctor. Born in Nashville, but Chicago based as of late 2023.

Their live show is electric, authentic & dynamic. Pepper, was raised on Blondie, Paramore, Cage The Elephant & sarcasm – it shows. Through vulnerable yet relatable stories, humorous authenticity between songs, & addicting melodies, it’s a show you always want to see again.

Pepper Said has played classic venues and events like The Basement, The East Room, The End, Sofar NYC, Festival of Ghouls, Muscian’s Corner Nashville, Mile of Music and more. In April 2021, they opened for Nashville locals – The Criticals – at Schuba’s Tavern in Chicago, which they sold out. Their music has been featured on local radio around the world;102.9 The Buzz and Lightning 100 in Nashville, CCR in Chelmsford, UK and 91.9 KSOIFM in Iowa.

Their 2021 debut EP, So Dramatic, is an anthology about discovering yourself through pain & reflection as well as fun & nonsense.
