NO LIFE ‘TIL SHREDDER!

Shred Four Your Life returns this Sunday where eight hand-picked daring souls will be shredding for their lives against one another in a “Live Guitar Battle” format until one is crowned champion in an atmosphere that celebrates the humor and absurdity of making music into a competition.

Meet our extremely qualified judges!
• Jaleel Bunton (TV On The Radio)
• Joan As Police Woman (singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist leader of Joan As Police Woman, Iggy Pop).
• Walter Schreifels (New York Hardcore legend of Quicksand, Rival Schools, Gorilla Biscuits

These judges, along with the ravenous crowd, will be tasked with choosing the SFYL champion of 2026. SFYL’s main goal is to entertain and delight by bringing together performers from a variety of musical backgrounds that might never share a stage with one another and to celebrate the love of guitar music.

The show is FREE, doors are open at 2PM
RAIN OR SHINE!

🎶 We Love The Jams and the Jams Run Free 🎶

SHRED FOR YOUR LIFE’s imminent return is in less than two weeks!

We’ve changed some things around and this year’s SFYL will be hosted by none other than Matt Sweeney, host and creator of the beloved YouTube series, Guitar Moves, and esteemed shredder for The Hard Quartet and Chavez.

The all-star rhythm section of John Stanier (Battles, Tomahawk, Helmet) on drums and Brad Truax (Interpol, Iggy Pop) on bass will return in full effect.

DJ duties will be handled by acclaimed percussionist Ryan Sawyer (Ryan Sawyer Shaker Ensemble, Gang Gang Dance).

Contestants have the option of playing with or without our rhythm section as they shred their way to glory.

Stay tuned as we announce more judges!
