Some bands just sound feral. The best ones are even wilder in the flesh.

Philadelphia outfit Jesus Piece meshes hardcore and metal all behind the driving drums of Luis Aponte whose practice of Bhakti yoga and the Krishna Consciousness mindset juxtapose his band’s ground shaking sound (Aponte, dynamic as ever, also plays drums in Charli XCX’s band).

Tickets to see Jesus Piece play Tampa Orpheum on Wednesday, April 17 are sold-out.
