This year's festival boasted a diverse roster of underground bands, headlined by New York wrecking crew Incendiary and supported by All Out War, Jesus Piece, Angel Du$t, Queensway, Praise, Microwave and many, many more. Photographer Angela Owens was on the scene to capture all of the brutal Back to School action — check it out below.
