Thoughts on Bowling

Thoughts on Bowling is a three-piece Midwest Emo band from Northwest Arkansas known for its enthusiasm for live performance and connection with its audience. The band shares the bill with Brooklyn math-rock group Computer, the heartfelt and emotionally direct trio Softly, and Columbus, Ohio’s humorous Emo/Punk band HummusVacuum.

Computer combines early-2000s Japanese math-rock influences with punk intensity and emo feeling, balancing intricate, technically precise arrangements with an expressive and deliberately off-kilter character. Softly, formed in 2024, features Harrison Castleberry, Raf Ibanez, and Isaac Chavez, whose songs emphasize sincere lyrics, raw emotion, and carefully shaped instrumental parts. HummusVacuum blends earnest, anthemic power-pop with fast, eccentric songwriting in a playful take on the relationship between punk and emo.
