The suburbs gets a dose of metalcore this Thursday thanks to Mothersound, a Los Angeles quartet that was a six piece when it was founded by vocalist Alejandro Ruiz and guitarist Jose Lopez. Over the years, subject matter on Mothersound’s records has evolved from a more insular view of the world (family, divorce) to one that addresses bigger themes like religion, anxiety and depression. There should be enough teenage angst out in Brandon to get the kids out to this Noise Box show where Tampa metalcore outfit Forthteller plays opener.

Mothersound w/Forthteller/Sonder Inspired. Thurs. March 7. The Noise Box, Brandon. More info.
