Taking cues from early hardcore, as well as perennial punk from the '80s, Portland's Autistic Youth make driving, anthemic stuff that'll clear up your sinuses. Songs rush by in delirious two-minute bursts of group cheering and insistent drumming. The band will be joined at Tahoma Tea & Co. by a stupid good assembly of punk acts from all over: the frantic Youth Avoiders from France, Oakland's chunky and melodic Acid Fast, rising punk locals Snak Pak, and fellow Tacoman punks Criminal Code, who will be leaving on tour following the show. In a cozy venue like Tahoma Tea & Co., you can expect to be all up in your neighbor's business at this show, which is the perfect way to experience these bands. Get up close and rowdy.

TAHOMA TEA & CO., WITH CRIMINAL CODE, YOUTH AVOIDERS, ACID FAST, SNAK PAK, 6 P.M, ALL AGES, NO COVER, 1932 PACIFIC AVE., TACOMA, 253.722.9987
