This isn't the first time Top Shelf Records has sent one of their top-tier emo revivalist bands through Buffalo - tonight's offering is Prawn, whose clean guitars and angsty vocals sound like Joan of Arc if they calmed down a little and tried to put a little structure to their songs.

After tonight, Head North is, ironically, going to be heading south on an East Coast tour... (I should probably make a joke that includes the word "West.") But tonight they celebrate with an official tour kickoff featuring the likes of The Traditional, Real People, Figurehead, Lancer, and Maritime Law. Needless to say, this lineup is pretty stacked.
Doors open at 6:00pm tonight. If you can grab them from a band before the show (I know they would appreciate that), they're only $10. At the door, tickets are $13.

Figurehead's new EP, No One Wants To Be Your Friend is four-songs worth of genuine teen angst that falls somewhere on the spectrum between post-hardcore and emo. These intrepid youngsters got a head start on the intelligent cynicism usually reserved for sad twenty-somethings. Nonetheless, Figurehead mixes introspective lyrics with huge bursts of emotion; and I quote: "I know I have a tendency to see the bitter side of things, but I know, I know, sometimes things are great." For those who are curious, this Brand New (see what I did there?) band is reminiscent of Bayside, Balance and Composure, or Thrice - a particular standout is the initially quiet "Ten," which turns into a complete monster of a song. Check it out below.
