Every scene has that band that seemingly won’t say no to a show. Popperz does that in Houston where its become one of the Bayou City’s most recognizable punk-rock exports.

A debut LP, Slippin’ Through the Cracks, features songs that have been heard over and again in their hometown, but the trio is on the road and miles from home to play tunes about conversion therapy camps (“Misfits Song”) and earworms, too (“Unintentional”).

Orlando hardcore band M.A.C.E. opens along with femme cybergrind outfit Scissor Blade.

Tickets to see Popperz play The Nest at St. Pete Brewing Co. in St. Petersburg on Sunday, Aug. 4 are still available and start at $5.
