Catch La Dispute, Touché Amoré, & Empath | TONIGHT @ The Basement East
Formed 15 years ago in Grand Rapids, Michigan, long-running rock outfit La Dispute are beloved in the modern post-hardcore scene, amassing something of a rabid fanbase thanks to four phenomenal full-lengths, which pull from influences of emo, spoken word, indie, progressive, and experimental rock, resulting in one of the most unique and hard to pin down sounds…

Turnstile, Touché Amoré to Play The End May 1
When it comes to the modern hardcore scene- as in real-deal, heavy, fast, ’80s and ’90s infused, unfiltered hardcore punk- no band is hotter right now than Baltimore’s Turnstile.

No Country’s Guide to Wrecking Ball 2016: 13 Can’t Miss Saturday Bands
What started last year as a 25h anniversary celebration for famed Atlanta venue The Masquerade, this year’s second annual Wrecking Ball festival will serve a very different function: a de facto goodbye to the celebrated concert space in its current and original home (don’t worry, The Masq isn’t closing down for good, just relocating to a new location in West Midtown).…
