Keep Flying, which plays The Bends in St. Petersburg, Florida on Sept. 16, 2023.

Keep Flying’s latest outing, Daylight, was released last month, but it sounds like it could’ve fit perfectly into a early-2000s Drive-Thru Records compilation CD.

For this no-cover gig, the New Jersey emo/pop-punk sextet gets support from Lakeland alt-rock band Dagger, plus St. Pete punk outfit Caught Fire and old-school post-hardcore quartet Last Bias.

There’s no cover to see Keep Flying w/ play The Bends in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Sept. 16. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
