Minnesota punks Off With Their Heads have been grinding out some of the best melodic "don't call it pop-" punk the Twin Cities have put out in recent history. For the past seven years, the band has gone under the radar. But a stable lineup since 2007 and constant touring (15 months in the last year and a half) have led to a strong national following and sales of over 20,000 records worldwide. That's all for a band who owes more to the local underground basement scene than radio play. Now, they've officially signed with L.A. punk powerhouse label Epitaph and have ditched the cold northern winter for another round on the road. They land in Miami on Saturday, March 6, at Churchill's, of course.
Off With Their Heads. With Dear Landlord, the Ridicules, and Sloan Bastard. Saturday, March 6. Churchill's Pub, 5501 NE 2nd Ave., Miami. Age 18 and up; 305-757-1807; churchillspub.com
