Live This Week: November 12 - 18, 2023

Harm's Way has been a pillar of Chicago's hardcore scene for roughly 15 years now. It's been almost six years since they last visited the area (opening for Every Time I Die at The Granada in 2017). Thursday night they headline recordBar on a tour celebrating the release of their devastatingly heavy new album, Common Suffering, with support from Fleshwater, Ingrown, and Jivebomb. I'll be out of town, so please stage dive in my name (unless the staff doesn't want you to do that; this is not legal advice).

Other acts worth catching this week include The Holy Ghost Tabernacle Choir, Snail Mail, Psychic Trash, Koney, Southside Dame, Speedy Ortiz, Baring Teeth, Bootcamp, and Little River Band.
