About this event
Join us for an all ages matinee featuring Her Head's On Fire, Back Teeth and Big Shipping! 2PM to 5PM - Please note under 18's must be supervised.
Her Head’s On Fire is a fierce quartet with an impressive pedigree serving up heart-seeking post-hardcore and emotive rock with enlivening riffs and melodies. The indie rock supergroup offers their strangeness to beauty with Strange Desires, their sophomore effort and follow-up to their debut, College Rock & Clove Cigarettes. Strange Desires deepens and expands on their first release. It has moments reminiscent of late '80s New Wave, early '90s indie, and post-hardcore peppered with poetic oddities that make the band’s music memorable.
From the gauntlet-throw of an opener "Cuts" through the swaggering sneer of "Aren’t I the Champion" to closer "The Rain," this record is full of intentional sidewinders— smart, literate songs about the most primal feelings and experiences we share as humans.
FFO: Samiam, Superchunk, and The Get Up Kids
Back Teeth
4 piece gruff dad punk from the Midlands, stitched together from festival friendships and late-night singalongs. Loud, raw, and unashamedly honest, their songs blend wry observation with big-hearted choruses built for shouting along in sweaty rooms. Their debut full-length Ultimate Worrier wears its scars with pride, balancing cynicism with hope in equal measure.
FFO: Banner Pilot, Latterman, Hot Water Music
Big Shipping
Off-kilter post-hardcore with progressive post-punk from Exeter, Devon. Debut album “Nobody Asked For This” out now, recorded by Larry Hibbitt (Hundred Reasons).
FFO: Killing Joke, These Arms Are Snakes & Drug Church.
