Two guitar heavy bands will take over Milkcrate Records for a night to bring the noise and their passion to the audience.

Victoria鈥檚 Secondhand Habit, while on their End of the World tour, has brought on 琉璃神社鈥檚 Not Even Noon for their Okanagan show.

The hard rock islanders find their inspiration from anything with a good beat, from 1990s grunge to high energy modern rock songs, Jon Yellowlees, lead guitarist says no two songs of theirs are the same.

鈥淲e like to give it all when we are playing and writing, it鈥檚 about what we are feeling. We are a high energy rock band and really feel the music coming through - we just like to have a music that is approachable for everyone, each track brings something for everyone. They might find something that doesn鈥檛 sound exactly the same as anything else out there,鈥 Yellowlees said.

The band met through mutual friends and the music brought them together, after a shifting roster of band members they have finally found their beat and a solid crew. Yellowlees along with Jesse Turner, Skyler Wilson and Levi Megebir look to take their music on the road more often in the coming years to pursue their dream of playing full time.

Both Secondhand Habit and Not Even Noon approach their creative process by striving make something that is fresh and people haven鈥檛 heard before.

鈥淲e are doing something that you don鈥檛 hear a lot, mixing all of these different genres is something that we feel comfortable doing because most of us were sound techs,鈥 Mike Thomas, lead vocalist and guitar for Not Even Noon said.

Thomas had a roster of songs for the band to choose from when they came together after building a library of songs over the years that the band then put their own unique spin on. Blending his lyrics with a musical mash up of rock, jazz and blues. The band: Andrew Occleshaw, Trevor Thorlakson and Fraser Burke praised Thomas鈥 ability to make songs out of any moment of his life, including one that stemmed from a conversation at a show with a woman that was in a coma for several years.

鈥淚t鈥檚 about playing music for the music, we don鈥檛 want to be famous, that changes everything. We want to play, have fun and make sure people have a good time,鈥 Occleshaw said.

Secondhand Habit and Not Even Noon will take the stage at Milkcrate Records in 琉璃神社 Sept. 28 for more information visit Milkcrate Records Facebook event .
