About the Artists
Face to Face
Face to Face is a rock/pop group best known in punk circles for a sound that moves between skate punk, melodic hardcore, and ska-leaning rhythms. In the New York area they appear at Starland Ballroom, sharing bills with acts like The Movielife, Deadguy, and The Take.
Deadguy
Deadguy is a New Brunswick, New Jersey metalcore group whose 1994–97 run helped set the rhythmic, stop-start language that later came to be labeled mathcore. The band returned in 2021 and followed with the 2025 album *Near-Death Travel Services*, a reminder of how tightly they balance structure and abrasion.
