Fresh Prospects: Payphone Confession/Arakana

Payphone Confession is a hardcore band based out of Boston, Massachusetts, that takes all subtlety and throws it out the window. Combining elements of hardcore, thrash, and punk in their sound, they look to make their mark on the rich history that is Boston's elite hardcore scene. Laying the groove are drummer Julian Hoot and bassist/backing vocalist Josh Whitman, with guitarists Antonio Cordova and Jordan Gantt thrashing behind front woman Evelyn Brock. Together, they form the loud and brutish sound of Payphone Confession.

From the streets of New Bedford, Massachusetts, Arakana brings the heat and energy from classic thrash metal and 2000s nu metal to the stage.
