The radio station partners with Downtown Fullerton&#8217;s Slide Bar to bring SoCal free music every month.<\/p>\n<p>On August 20, KROQ and the Slide Bar will host four up and coming bands from the LA area. Join Bonavox, Island Apollo, Wildling and Ceasefire for a night of free music. All these bands have been featured in KROQ&#8217;s Local Only playlist, and are in the midst of making a name for themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the bands<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonavox: <\/strong>What started as a casual jam session turned into a musical act whose counterparts hail from all over the world \u2013 Brazil and Sweden just to name a few. Bonavox came together in Pasadena, and the band&#8217;s song \u201cFallen Angel\u201d won a Grammy U award. The band&#8217;s line up has been through some changes in the past year, but with new singer John Flanagan, they&#8217;re ready to introduce fans to their new sound.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Island Apollo: <\/strong>This fun and exciting band hails from Irvine. After forming under a previous name, the band changed to Island Apollo after gaining a considerable following as teens. Comparable to Bad Suns, Island Apollo&#8217;s sound is fun, reflective and filled with infectious hooks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wildling: <\/strong>Wildling, formed less than a year ago, may be new as a band, but its line up consists of several members that have been in the music business for a while. With a fresh sound and hopeful lyrics, the band, who hails straight out of Los Angeles, falls somewhere in between a softer Indie sound and foot-thumping alternative rock. Wildling is currently in the midst of releasing an EP and gearing up for two tours this fall and winter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ceasefire: <\/strong>An alternative band from Orange County, Ceasefire formed in 2011 with band members Ray Alexander (vocals), Kamren Alexander (guitar) and Anthony Hainsworth (drums). The band&#8217;s sound can be described as an uplifting mix of great vocals, beautiful lyrics and winding instrumentals. Catch all four bands August, 20 at the Slide Bar, located on 122 E Commonwealth Ave., in Downtown Fullerton. Doors open at 8 p.m., and is a 21 and over show.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/pcsanchez7505.wordpress.com\/2495\/\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"https:\/\/pcsanchez7505.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/10\/downtown-fullerton-gets-a-taste-of-locals-only-music\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Downtown Fullerton gets a taste of  Locals Only Music\">Downtown Fullerton gets a taste of  Locals Only Music<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By pcsanchez7505 Wildling at an underground performance in Claremont College.
