The hardcore scene really takes care of its own, and it’ll stand behind the family of the late Joshua Couture (Exit Strategy, Right On Time) for this two-day festival headlined by ‘80s New York hardcore favorite Madball along with Connecticut’s Haywire.

In all, nearly two dozen bands will come together to grieve, mourn and mosh in memory of Couture who leaves behind a wife, daughter and son.

Tickets for Hammer & Nail Fest happening Friday-Saturday, Nov. 8-9 in Ybor City are still available and start at $30.

Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
