We know that the rest of the country has been experiencing a lil thang called a “heat wave.” But Crossfade has no sympathy. It’s hot in Miami all freaking year.
Maybe that’s why Off With Their Heads, a pop-punk quartet on perennial pop-punk label Epitaph Records, spends so much time in the Magic City. See, the band’s from Minneapolis. And people tell us that place is freezing! Not to mention there’s not a palm tree in sight.
In 2008, Off With Their Heads made its South Florida debut at the now-defunct House of Pain. And the next year the crew paid a visit to short-lived DIY space Goo. By 2010, though, the group had found a main squeeze in Churchill’s Pub, where they’ll be taking the stage once more Friday, August 12.
We’re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?
We feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Miami. We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Miami.
Beyond the weather — and an affinity for The Dave Daniels Experience — we’re sure that Off With Their Heads have a particularly good time in Florida because it’s a top-five state for pop-punk.
Gainesville-based No Idea Records and the annual, ever-bloating The Fest have been number one in the game of anthemic, sentimental, poppy rockin’ punk of all varieties — from the suburb-ska of Less Than Jake, through the gravel-voiced epics of Hot Water Music, and up to the sing-a-long Springsteenisms of Against Me! — for over a decade.
Off With Their Heads (who were signed to No Idea before Epitaph) fit right in, thanks to snappy, simple jams augmented with a little homegrown Twin City snot punk melody a la Dillinger Four.
Off With Their Heads with Dead To Me, The Riot Before, and The Getback. Friday, August 12, 8pm. Churchill’s Pub, 5501 NE 2 Ave. Tickets are $10 in advance here, $12 at the door. For more info check out churchillspub.com or call 305-757-1807.
