Industrial-punk band Komrads plays Tampa next week

In terms of its lineup, Komrads has taken a Panic! At The Disco turn. Like Brendon Urie—before recent controversy—Zach Burnett, the band’s main creative force, is now using the band as a solo project.

Co-founding members Jesse Hellstead and Sam Langley have parted ways, leaving Burnett to establish the industrial-punk project’s latest, nine-track album The Wolf on his own. We’re not sure who exactly is backing Burnett up while on the road, but you can find out next week.

Opening Komrads’ Wednesday, March 2 concert at Hooch and Hive in Tampa will be self-described “industrial electronic one-woman army” I Ya Toyah, and harsh industrial-pop from enby icon Stclvr.
