Over two decades of melting faces off with the power of rock and roll, Pound4Pound has once again taken over the music scene in UPLB for the night. The UP Jammers’ Club has given yet another epic event, showcasing awesome, homegrown music, with its theme Legalized symbolizing the 21st year of holding the event. It was held at Nesting Ground Garden Café last April 21.

We enjoyed performances from Embercore, Untold, Heaviator, Last Action Heroes, Jen Rogers Band, The Near Death Experience, Asylum Excursion, Adia, MR. Shly, Random Wallflowers, All Sudden Smiles, After Emily, Spacelorns, Sunset Blvd., The A Band, and The Cool Off Story. It was like a music festival—all the awesomeness packed into just one night. We had everything we needed—music for the soul and beer for getting out of control. It was a party like no other, I daresay. Nothing can get you more hyped than getting wild in a mosh pit in front of a live band. It was certainly a night to remember. There ain’t no party like a Jammers’ party. If you don’t believe it, see for yourself next year. #YOLOResponsibility
