Scars of Protest

Scars of Protest are playing The LOFT in Southampton on Saturday 25 July. They're a UK rap metal band, so the night sits right at the crossing of two sounds that don't always share the same stage: the heavy, distorted riffs of metal and the flow and delivery of rap. It's a combination that usually means a loud, high-energy set, and they're the main draw of the evening.

They aren't the only ones on the bill. Supporting them are Butcher the Butcher and The Cloud Nines, so you'll get two opening acts before Scars of Protest take over. With three bands in one night, the evening stretches across a full line-up rather than just a single set, and it's a good way to see a few different acts in one go.

The venue is The LOFT, which is part of The Social here in Southampton. If you've been before, you'll know it's a spot that handles loud music well, and it's easy to get to. If it's your first time, it's worth keeping in mind that the night starts with the support acts, so if you want to catch Butcher the Butcher and The Cloud Nines as well as the headliners, you'll want to arrive early. Tickets are available through Koobit.
