Face To Face with The Movielife, Deadguy, The Take
About This Event
At Starland Ballroom, a three-band bill pairs Deadguy with Face to Face and The Take. Deadguy, the New Brunswick metalcore group whose 1994–97 run helped set the stop-start rhythmic language later labeled mathcore, returned in 2021 and issued 2025's Near-Death Travel Services, which balances structure and abrasion. Face to Face and The Take supply skate-punk and scene-rooted hardcore, favoring tight tempos, direct songwriting and gang-voiced hooks suited to a club room.
