If you plan to head down to Bradenton two days in a row this weekend, you’ll bear witness to one hell of a rock subgenre switch.

After a heavy Friday night with local hardcore outfit Defrauded, The Steel Crowes—heavily influenced by 1970s arena rock—bring their latest, eponymous album to the stage.

The record is fully equipped with everything that filled the stadium shows of the ‘70s: Plenty of guitar-driven anthems, gritty lead vocals, and even a piano-based ballad, a la Motley Crüe's “Take Me Home.”

Tickets to see The Steel Crows play Oscura in Bradenton on Saturday, April 27 are still available and start at $10.
