The latest radio broadcast is now a podcast! For show #82, we revisit two different IceHouse DIY live shows recorded earlier this year:

March 20, 2026
• Kelly Hooper
• John Galm

May 23, 2026
• Hello, Operator?
• Purple Lung
• RA!D

🔊 Listen to the podcast now along with the full live sets from each artist ⤵️

One show, quiet and introspective; the other, loud and electrifying. Two sides to the local music landscape in the Valley that makes it great.

Another Michael also performed on March 20, but his set will have to stay in the vault until he finishes his new album and gives us the go-ahead.

🔊⚡️ BAND ANNOUNCEMENT 🔊⚡️

We're excited to reveal the bands that are closing out the 2026 Lehigh Valley Summer's End Punk Rock Flea Market!

We'll once again have a free show in conjunction with the IceHouse DIY crew on the Ice House's main floor after vendor sales end at 4 PM.

◇ Rumple Stilskinz & The Dumpster Full O' Sound - The LV trash rock band is back together. It's been nearly a decade since we've had them on one of our stages, so let's get scuzzy again.

◇ SIDE OVER - A melodic hardcore powerhouse that began in 1989 in NEPA and quickly became a mid-Atlantic staple, playing with bands like Life of Agony. After over 30 years, they reunited in 2025 and released the new album, 'Loves You.' Featuring former Tape Swap guest Lou Rogai of Lewis & Clarke.

◇ L.M.I. - Lansdale dark hardcore / stoner punk. One of the bands on the periphery of the LV that had been on our list to bring here for awhile. Now is the time. Their new EP, 'L.M.I. V,' incorporates brutal metal influences into their hardcore punk sound.

Saturday, September 5, 2026
Vendors: 10 AM - 4 PM
Bands: 4:30 - 7 PM

The Ice House
56 River Street, Bethlehem 18018
