Geoff Palmer arrived in Madison from New Hampshire about two years ago and found like-minded local musicians to create loud and fun power-punk with pop sensibilities. This show celebrates the release of a new EP, Kodak Flash, which contains four songs clocking in collectively at under eight minutes (and was recorded, produced and mixed by Mike Kennerty of The All-American Rejects). One listen and it’s easy to hear why Steven Van Zandt — creator of SiriusXM’s popular “Little Steven’s Underground Garage” channel — has recognized more than 10 of Palmer’s songs as a “Coolest Song in the World.” A stacked lineup also includes Direct Hit!, The Dopamines, Chinese Telephones and Space Age Zeros.
