In Her Own Words

In Her Own Words play Come and Take It Live on Sunday, September 27, with the show starting at 7:30 PM. They're a pop-punk and rock act that pulls from two different coasts, with members hailing from upstate New York and Los Angeles. The set is built around frontman Joey Fleming's soulful vocals, which hold their own against the heavier side of the band's sound.

That's the thing about their style: it doesn't sit in one place. They blend aggressive and pop sounds in the same set, and the labels they work with cover a fair amount of ground—pop-punk, emo, hardcore, punk, and easycore. If you're familiar with the scene, that puts them somewhere between the melodic hooks of pop-punk and the heavier, faster edge of hardcore, with the emo and easycore elements filling in the gaps. It's the kind of sound that can shift from a singalong to something much more intense without feeling like two different bands.

One song that gets a fair amount of attention is "Leaving Forever," so that's a good place to start if you want to get a feel for where they're coming from before the show. The whole night is billed as a pop-punk and rock concert, and they're the sole feature on the bill.

Logistics are straightforward: the show is at Come and Take It Live, 2015 E Riverside Dr, bldg 4, Austin, TX 78741, on Sunday, September 27, starting at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $40.
