Hardcore/punk show tonight at WestCo Cafe, with Failures, Total Abuse, and Ripshit. From Aural Wes:
Failures: Breakneck 3-chord progressions recall a gaggle of coked-out lemmings, hurdling and collapsing over each other in an all-out sprint to who-the-fuck-knows-where, but without sacrificing what can’t be mistaken for anything other than high-level musicianship and tight-knit song structures, even as [...]
