School of Rock Allstars

The School of Rock AllStars Tour takes the very best students from around the world and sends them on a country-wide summer tour, playing classic and modern rock and roll hits across the United States. Less than 1% of School of Rock students are selected each year to represent School of Rock as an AllStar.

Becoming an AllStar is the highest level of achievement for a School of Rock student. These students often go on to have accomplished careers in the music industry. Former AllStars have gone on to become touring artists, star in Broadway musicals, get signed to record deals, become finalists on talent competitions like The Voice and American Idol, or have other notable roles in the music industry.

Greyhaven

Greyhaven tap into the sound of truths unleashed—messy in its disjointed and extreme edges, magnetic in its entrancing and enigmatic melodies, and massive in its emotional outpour. The group have remained a singular presence since their 2013 arrival. Tallying millions of streams, they naturally progressed over the course of Empty Black [2018], This Bright and Beautiful World [2022], and the Stereo Grief EP [2024]. The guys incited tastemaker applause from Brooklyn Vegan, New Noise Magazine, OnesToWatch, Revolver, and Outburn who highlighted their “tight, polished sound with the energy of the band’s camaraderie shining through,” Moreover, they toured with the likes of Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada, Better Lovers, and more. The Louisville, KY band—Brent Mills [vocals], Nick Spencer [guitar], Johnny Muench [bass], and Ethan Spray [drums]—sonically and personally lay everything on the table with their third full-length album, Keep It Quiet [Solid State Records]. Throughout 2024, the musicians constructed what would become the album, collaborating with producer Will Putney [Body Count, Knocked Loose Bad Omens]. During the sessions, they widened their sonic palette. From the jarringly catchy first single “Burn A Miracle” through the epic emotionally charged closer “Cemetery Sun,” Keep It Quiet’s secrets will stay with you for a long time.

Footballhead

There aren’t many bands that bridge the gap of melody and grit like Chicago’s Footballhead. With their debut album ‘Overthinking Everything’ released via Tiny Engines in March 2024 (hailed as one of the ‘Most Anticipated Albums of 2024’ by Stereogum), and the ‘Before I Die’ EP following in August of the same year, the band received radio spins globally from the acclaimed Triple J in Australia + rock stations across Europe and North/South America. The band hit the road in 2025 with national support tours for One Step Closer and Superbloom alongside shows opening for Hot Mulligan, Drain, The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail and Sweet Pill among others. They have steadily made the case to be your favorite band’s favorite band. After making their mainstream festival debut at Riot Fest in Chicago in September 2025, the band plans to release LP2 in early 2026 and take their touring worldwide.”

Cheem

“Where most young rock bands are happily constrained by the self imposed limitations of a ‘dead’ rock music scene, Cheem dreams of the arena. The pop music arena, specifically. Cheem’s music packs a punch, with finely tuned snares puncturing holes in sheets of crispy distorted guitars, while easily holding its own melodically through a sly humor redolent of peak-mid 2000s emo. Cheem fights for the future of rock by remembering it used to exist as a chart heavyweight in its own regard; their music swings for the senses and consistently connects. Led by Sam Nazaretian’s clarion tenor, grounded by Skye Holden’s deceptively complex rapping, and backed by a band that can alternate between Limp Bizkit levels of blunt force impact and Pinback-esque effortless musical gymnastics; Cheem is the future of accessible heavy music.” – Holiday Kirk

A Place To Bury Strangers

Fans around the world know Oliver Ackermann always brings surprises. For nearly two decades, the singer and guitarist of New York City’s A Place To Bury Strangers has fused post-punk, noise-rock, shoegaze, psychedelia, and avant-garde experimentation into music that feels volatile and alive. As the founder of Death By Audio, he’s extended that same spirit through his signal-scrambling effects, empowering artists everywhere to push sound past its limits. Onstage, A Place To Bury Strangers delivers a shamanistic experience—immersive, feral, and electrifying—where real-time experiments and sudden breakthroughs collide. While many of his peers have slowed down, Ackermann’s momentum continues to build. In 2021 he launched Dedstrange, a label devoted to advancing boundary-breaking artists worldwide, and refreshed the band’s lineup with bassist John Fedowitz and drummer Sandra Fedowitz. The result is a group that sounds more immediate, daring, and melodic than ever. Rare and Deadly, out April 3, cracks open a decade-long vault of raw nerve and sonic chaos from A Place To Bury Strangers. Spanning 2015–2025, the collection gathers demos, B-sides, abandoned experiments, and forgotten fragments pulled from Ackermann’s personal archive of late-night recordings, blown-out tapes, and half-finished sessions. These tracks capture the band at their most unfiltered—caught between breakthrough ideas and beautiful mistakes, with the edges left jagged on purpose. Each format tells a different story. The CD, cassette, vinyl, and digital editions all feature unique tracklists, an almost unheard-of release strategy that give a metaphorical middle finger to the industry norms.. No single format contains the “complete” album; instead, each becomes a different window into the archive, revealing alternate paths, missing links, and parallel versions of the band’s inner life. The album shifts depending on how you hear it, mirroring the chaos of its creation. Across Rare and Deadly, you can hear the evolution of Ackermann’s restless mind: riffs warped by malfunctioning pedals, songs born from gear pushed beyond its limits, and melodies swallowed by walls of feedback until only their ghosts remain. Some tracks hint at future releases; others are volatile dead ends. Together, they form a secret history—an unstable, essential document of sound in motion. Less a compilation than a documentary, Rare and Deadly captures the moment before ideas solidify. It’s where A Place To Bury Strangers has always thrived: between control and collapse, melody and noise, beauty and distortion.
