A pair of what are perhaps Central Florida’s biggest contributors to emo and rock are looking backwards.

Anberlin dials the clock back 20 years to celebrate their sophomore LP, Never Take Friendship Personal where the Winter Haven-born outfit turned its guitars even louder, capitalized on the popularity of their breakout album Blueprints for the Black Market, and started to explore sounds outside of the emo-rock spectrum.

Lakeland’s own Copeland is also running through its 20-year-old sophomore outing, In Motion, as it kicks off the end, and hometown stretch, of a nationwide tour that started back in February.

Tickets to see Anberlin and Copeland play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Friday, April 4 are still available and start at $27.50.
