This month we continue our voyage into the future with a unified goal: to celebrate the best bands opening up shows in October, and to get there in time to see them play. I\u2019ve been tossing around the idea of making a punch card so readers can keep track of their attendance. But until I get those printed, you might as well brush up on your curriculum for the month ahead.<\/span>\n

Candy<\/h2>\n

Oct. 1, Majestic Theatre<\/em><\/a> with Knocked Loose<\/em><\/p>\n

I caught Candy at SXSW in March, and I found out they were a hardcore band when I googled their name about 10 minutes before they started playing. I\u2019m glad I got the warning. Seconds into the Richmond band\u2019s set, some guy by me was immediate knocked into the fetal position by a stray slamdancer. As members of the crowd tended to the guy, Candy continued their onslaught \u2014 as fiery and heavy as a steel foundry. So don\u2019t miss this set, but do keep your wits about you. Bands that sound this good are worth maintaining your consciousness for!<\/p>\n
