1876 at the Northside Rock and Roll Carnival

On July 6th 2024, 1876 brought the heat to Cincinnati’s Northside Rock 'n' Roll Carnival, delivering a powerful performance that had the crowd fully immersed in the powwow punk experience. The Urban Native Collective was proud to introduce the band to our community, and as 1876 launched into their set, the audience was immediately drawn into the pulse of the music. Fans cheered, danced, and even moshed to the heavy guitar riffs, while others joined in with fists raised to the powerful lyrics that celebrated Indigenous resilience and self-expression. 1876 blends traditional powwow rhythms with the raw, aggressive edge of punk rock, creating a sound that was both deeply cultural and wildly energetic. With each song, 1876 brought the unmistakable sounds of their Northern Cheyenne and Blackfeet roots into a modern punk landscape. With lyrics touching on identity, resilience, and social justice, their music hit hard, and the crowd responded in full force. The band's members engaged with the audience through the night, telling jokes and sharing stories. After their explosive set, 1876 took time to meet fans, sign merch, and connect one-on-one. Formed in 2020 with a dream of cultural resurgence, 1876 has quickly built a reputation for blending cultural pride with punk rebellion. By the end of the night, the energy was palpable—everyone left knowing that Native people were here, are here, and will continue to be here.
