Screamo, neocrust, and hardcore bands from across North America are in town this week thanks Inkbeard Booking which has organized a bi-coastal one-two punch (Massa Nera from New Jersey, Los Angeles’ Quiet Fear) to play alongside Habak from Tijuana, Mexico and two St. Petersburg bands, Horsewhip and Star of Khorala.

Advance tickets to see Massa Nera, Habak and Quiet Fear play the VFW Post 39 in St. Petersburg on Thursday, Aug. 17 are available for $12.
