Energy levels will be off the chart Saturday night as six area bands converge on the Frederick Brown, Jr. Amphitheater. "Summer Jam 2005" will test the mettle of rock fans with back-to-back performances featuring some of the brightest new sound-makers from Atlanta and beyond.

Familiar local favorites, Chopper John, get things "revved up" with their upbeat mix of Ska, Rock, and Pop/Punk. The Indie/Pop/Rock sound of Atlanta's own, Tomorrow's Regret, lend a hand to the proceedings as the beats keep coming. From Madison, Alabama emerges nationally lauded Alternative Rock band The Arrival, whose blend of the soft and hard gives dynamic thrust to the evening. Peachtree City's entry into the line-up, local noisemakers Somedaynew, make sure that no musical stone is left unturned. Cartel, another group of talented young men, show up fresh from the Warped Tour at the Pontiac Silverdome and the Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheater. Capping off what is already a killer list of acts, Honestly, featuring Matt Melton of Peachtree City on guitar and vocals, finish the night off with style.
