Tampa hardcore band Dead Mirrors plays record store set in St. Pete this weekend

This year on Record Store Day, when people walked into the retail location of St. Pete’s Bananas Music–located on 22nd Avenue–the most glorious thing to be seen upon entry was not the shelves of vinyl: It was the fact that the stage that has contained audio equipment, holiday albums, and CDs in recent years, had musicians standing on it again.

It appears Bananas, like cross-bay colleague Microgroove, is easing back into being both a record shop and a mini concert venue because on Saturday, June 11, Dead Mirrors, which sounds like late-’90s metalcore takes the stage along with Spanish Needles and Knife Rituals, both from Tampa Bay.
