If you’re looking for an unorthodox way to ring in the Sabbath on Friday, I’d recommend going to Concord Music Hall to see Say Anything, who are touring in support of their new album—Hebrews. Show up early for You Blew It! and the Front Bottoms to get a fourth-wave emo fix.
“Around the time the mammoth David Comes to Life came out in 2011, I heard a friend compare Fucked Up to the Gin Blossoms fronted by Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed,” writes Kevin Warwick. “I laughed, then laughed again—and the joke has been burned into my brain ever since. Because even though I know what to expect from Fucked Up by now—this Toronto hardcore band has been together more than a decade, releasing four studio albums and five million singles, demos, and cassettes—it still startles me every time front man Damian Abraham first opens his mouth, as the gravelly, husky avalanche of his voice rips through the crystalline triple-guitar melodies. You have to be willing to settle into a Fucked Up record for the combination to sound halfway normal, and the new Glass Boys (Matador) is no different.”
