Guest bio:

Butter Boys are a band from Minneapolis, MN. With their tongue-in-cheek brand of pop punk, Butter Boys’ songs are upbeat, somewhat snarky, and full of singalong rockers. Versatile singer Katie Drahos goes from lighter melodies to full-blown snarl while delivering punchy synth lines. Joe Marxen’s jangly lead guitar cuts across a tight rhythm section by drummer David Garcia and bassist Ollie Nordman.
