HxC: Midwest Blood on the East Coast

The streets of Providence will run red with Midwest Blood as Expire take over Firehouse 13 on Sunday, October 5. The last time they played Providence was over two years ago, so this is long overdue. With the release of their second full-length studio album, Pretty Low, in June, the band has been touring nonstop.

Currently in Canada with the guys in Every Time I Die and Counterparts, the band has gotten more exposure than ever. Touring with different genres for the first time allows the band to show new fans what hardcore is all about. And if any band knows how to put on a hardcore show, it’s Expire. Kids pile up during each and every song, and throw down for every bass pounding breakdown.

Moving around the East Coast for a short tour with Rude Awakening, Caught In A Crowd, Test of Time, and the locals in Waste of Life, they have yet another opportunity to play with some of the biggest hardcore bands today.

Rude Awakening is sure to bring a crazy following to Firehouse since this is the first time they have played Providence since the drop of their new album, Collateral Damage, a few months ago. Because their hometown is only a short distance away, everyone will come out for this epic line-up.

Caught In A Crowd and Test of Time never disappoint the Providence scene and are sure to play sick sets, as always.

Another band not to miss out on is Waste of Life; these Providence locals are blowing up. Playing with Expire last month in Maine, the band gave it their all and the crowd couldn’t sit still. Everyone was on their feet and showing love to this Rhode Island hardcore band. Being in their hometown, the show should be full of fans from all over RI, Conn. and Mass.

Be sure to grab your tickets early; this show could sell out.
