SAN FRANCISCO—In a bold career move, local band Crop Top has announced their plan to play the exact same three Mission District venues on repeat until "something big happens." The quartet, known for combining aggressive punk riffs with suspiciously sweet melodies, has vowed to keep cycling between The Make Out Room, Knockout, and Kilowatt like some kind of sonic Groundhog Day.

"We're pretty sure one day we'll wake up famous," said lead singer and eternal optimist, Ethan Sacré. “We’ve done the math. Three venues, three chords, three fans—it’s bound to snowball.”

Despite their impressive talent for balancing punk energy with harmonies that could charm your grandma, the band seems curiously uninterested in expanding their reach beyond the Mission District. "Why mess with perfection?" asked bassist Ben Adams, referencing their tightly controlled three-bar show radius. "We figure we’ll just keep playing these places until Rolling Stone calls. Or until our rent goes up again—whichever comes first."

Until then, Crop Top will be found at one of their regular haunts, stubbornly performing to loyal fans and whoever else wandered in by mistake.
