Homewrecker, Resistance Wire, Acolyte, 156/Silence

Spin-kick your winter woes away at The Smiling Moose tonight with an early, all-ages hardcore extravaganza. The first time I saw headliner Homewrecker was in a sweaty basement in the band’s home state of Ohio. The gig has people hanging from the pipes and kicking everything in sight, going absolutely bonkers to the metal-influenced powerviolence. There won’t be pipes to hang from, but there will be Pittsburgh metal/hardcore act Resistance Wire and death-metal hardcore band Acolyte, as well as one of the most intense, chaotic hardcore bands in Pittsburgh, 156/Silence. - Meg Fair
