Post CommentCatch y'all at the Tanner's Pickles pop up tent.
40 year old men in checkered vans are stoked not a band i'd pay to see until pet symmetry in tiny font, but then again, i am 12
Cool to see the A&E series "Intervention" making an appearance.
ej 42 minutes ago not a band i'd pay to see until pet symmetry in tiny font, but then again, i am 12 City Of Caterpillar is rad, dude.
Anyone who wasn't posing hard in the 90s ordered records from No Idea. Groomers have never heard of No Idea.
Besides Anti Flag I really have never heard of any of the other bands nor am I going to bother looking them up
can someone point me to the relevant band on this lineup?
holy shit this sucks. a new low. absolutely zero mid 00s metalcore.
As if people needed another reason to avoid Gainesville
Grey Matter as in 80s DC indie rock band Grey Matter? Probably not with their name being so small & far down on the poster.
really disappointed this comment section has 0 war on women burns. Cmon now.
Guaranteed someone in Bouncing Souls will have more zippers on their plaid pants than there will be people watching them.
^^^ Where is the woman who called out TWOW? If she's not gonna hammer this band with accusations why should anyone else?
I only want to heart American Hearts by piebald
Oh yeah, SO stoked to see "Pkew Pkew Pkew", "Foodeater", and "The Jukebox Romantics".
Cul-de-sac haired Gen-X'r bros and their flabby rollerderby gf's are stoked
Middle-Aged Queers. A great name for a band name because it sums up the state of heavy metal in the year 2022.
LOL @ any human being attending. The worst of the worst of the worst.
grey matter getting zero respect on this flyer, who cares if some of these tweens haven't heard of them, they can look 'em up or something!
10 really good bands and a bunch of bullshit ive never heard of. And ive been into punk bands for 20 yrs.
grey matter getting zero respect on this flyer, who cares if some of these tweens haven't heard of them, they can look 'em up or something! >> Again, is it Grey Matter from DC?

If you want to see how tolerant, open minded, and free thinking punk fans are then head along to this wearing an anti-vax tshirt
"If you want to see how tolerant, open minded, and free thinking punk fans are then head along to this wearing an anti-vax tshirt" Apparently being "open minded" to you means embracing people who espouse potentially harmful health disinformation to the general public.
Give it a fuc king rest with Restraining Order already. Every time I see them they're headlining but they're not a true headliner - more like they play last cuz they draw 20-30 people tops vs. The undercard drawing < 10 paid each. Hey Restraining Order headline The Middle East Upstairs with two no draw bands (say two new bands making their debuts) & if you sell it that space you are a real draw. Until then stop being king of the no draws.
Grey Matter is an "emotional skacore" band from Michigan, per the website and their bandcamp, not a reunion show of the Dischord legends.
I would like to see City of Caterpillar again. Caught Majority Rule at a reunion show just before the pandemic and they weren't as tight as their day but it scratched an itch.
Zeta playing this for the hundredth time and 10th person
