Ocean Sleeper North American Tour 2025
w/ Roderik, Twist It, Garzi, Ocean Sleeper
The Foundry lit up with an electrifying lineup featuring Roderik, Twist It, Garzi, and Ocean Sleeper, giving fans a night that blended emo, hard rock, hip-hop, and metalcore influences into one unforgettable experience.
Opening the night, Roderik set the tone with a passionate performance that showcased their ability to seamlessly blend multiple genres. Their emotional lyrics and atmospheric instrumentals created the perfect entry point for the evening, pulling the audience in early and setting the momentum for what was to come. Fans quickly locked into their energy, and the band proved they’re a name to watch as they continue carving out space in the scene.
Next, Twist It brought the hometown fire. As a rising hard rock act from Philadelphia, the crowd welcomed them with open arms. Their heavy riffs, commanding vocals, and undeniable stage presence made their set feel larger than life. Local pride radiated through the room as Twist It delivered song after song with intensity, making it clear that their star is only getting brighter in the Philly rock landscape.
The night then shifted with Garzi, who delivered a set as dynamic as it was unpredictable. Blending elements of alternative, emo, and hip-hop, they moved effortlessly between moments of vulnerability and bursts of raw energy. The performance added a refreshing layer of diversity to the lineup, proving Garzi’s versatility and keeping the audience fully engaged from start to finish.
Closing out the evening was the highly anticipated Ocean Sleeper. On their first-ever U.S. tour, the Australian metalcore band approached the stage with something to prove and they more than delivered. From the first note, they commanded the room, unleashing a wave of energy that had fans screaming along to every word. Their combination of soaring melodies, crushing breakdowns, and emotional delivery struck a deep chord with the crowd, many of whom were already familiar with their catalog despite this being the band’s U.S. debut. By the end of the set, they made a statement that this international band is not going anywhere.
