If you’re a fan of Napalm Death and Pig Destroyer (both of which we recently just saw on tour), you’ll want to check out Magrudergrind’s upcoming show at the Triple Rock Social Club.

The band returned after a long six-year hiatus with a new album II, which came out February 2016 via Relapse Records. Even the band admitted that “It's been a long time since we toured the entire US...”, but with over 50k likes on their Facebook, the band has not been forgotten.

Yautja and Sick/Tired to open.

All-girls Savages (Jehn, Gemma, Ayşe, Fay) is back with a new album Adore Life, available now on Matador Records.

We previously caught the band at two sold out 2013 dates when they were touring for their debut album Silence Yourself: First Avenue (Sep 2013) and Triple Rock (July 2013), and noted that the band is intense!

Opening will be Head Wound City, the supergroup with members from The Locust, The Blood Brothers and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, in support of their debut LP A New Wave of Violence (Vice Records).

A New Wave of Violence marks the band’s first release with new material in 11 years (the band originally formed in 2005).
