A punk rock band that hits hard without ignoring melody or vocal harmonies, PLOSIVS is an all-star outfit featuring members of Rocket from the Crypt, Pinback, and Against Me!. The foundation of their sound is a blend of two lean, wiry guitars, percolating basslines, and propulsive drumming, all in the service of songs that are tuneful but stripped to the framework. The band makes music that’s both angular and engaging, with lyrics that are personal and urgent, an attack documented with clarity on their 2022 debut album. PLOSIVS grew out of a songwriting collaboration between John Reis and Rob Crow during a time of “distance rock,” when the pandemic made touring and rehearsing difficult. Wanting to channel their energy into something positive, they brought in bassist Jordan Clark and drummer Atom Willard to complete the lineup. After writing a full album, the band recorded at Singing Serpent Studio in San Diego and made their live debut in 2021 before releasing their first LP in 2022. Direct support comes from Hammered Hulls. Don’t miss this stacked night of raw, high-energy punk. Presented by El Club. All ages
