Crossover thrash show by Pest Control from Leeds, with support from Grove Street, Smother, Nerve Agent and Invasion at The Underground.
Pest Control are playing The Underground on Saturday 31 October, with doors opening at 6pm. They're the headliners on a five-band bill, and they've brought a fair few along with them: Grove Street, Smother, Nerve Agent and Invasion all play before them, so it's a full night of it rather than just a single set. If you're coming for the support as much as the main act, you'll want to get in early.
Leeds-based Pest Control describe their sound as 'Crossover Thrash', which they explain as a union of aggravated Hardcore Punk and the precise, lacerating edges of Thrash Metal. It's a fair description of the two things they're pulling together — the raw, driving energy of hardcore and the sharper, more technical side of thrash. They've also noted that both have increased in intensity as the band has matured, so the sound they're bringing to Hanley is a bit more focused than where they started.

It's an over-14s show, so younger crowds are welcome, though you'll need ID if you're buying alcohol. Tickets are £15 in advance and £20 on the door, and the venue is The Underground, 2 Morley Street, Hanley, ST1 4LS. Doors open at 6pm, and with four support acts to get through before the headliners, the music will be running for a good while.
