portrayal of guilt currently enjoy massive critical accolades, and not just here. Most music critics who have heard their debut album, Let Pain Be Your Guide, rave about it in ways that forecast the second coming of Converge. To the degree that portrayal of guilt are worthy of such praise, seeing them play in several markets for the very first time and in intimate venues to boot might turn out to be a taste of history in the making.

So, if you live in the area, know that a bunch of acclaimed young musicians are stepping out into the miserable, wet cold in February when they could be home in Texas. Since you will not be in Texas where it will undoubtedly be warmer, step out for a show that will likely be as nasty as the weather outside.
