The weekend is drawing to a close — why not cap it off with a concert? Here are some highlights happening this Sun., April 17.

Being As An Ocean with '68, Capsize, Listener, Movements, Milestones Being As An Ocean is currently on the road behind a 2015 eponymous third album that has earned some positive press from rags like New Noise Magazine, which hailed the California melodic hardcore outfit for their unified sound and ability to expel much emotion and focus.
