In Her Own Words & Every Avenue + Public Works

In Her Own Words is a pop-punk act whose combination of melodic hooks and lyrical directness has built them a following in the genre's current generation — music that takes the emotional vocabulary of pop-punk seriously without relying on nostalgia to land. Every Avenue is a Michigan pop-punk band whose early-2000s catalog made them a fixture on the Warped Tour circuit and whose influence on the genre's subsequent development is more substantial than their mainstream profile suggests.

Together with Public Works at The Masquerade on October 18, they constitute a full pop-punk evening for an audience that followed the genre closely enough to recognize all three names. October 18.
