Tonight at the 27 Club, Bearings, Pine, Castlefield and Letdown will be celebrating the release of Bearings EP Nothing Here Is Permanent! Letdown will be starting the show off at 7:30! If you don't have tickets yet there may be a few left for pick up at Vertigo Records or you can try talking to some of the bands! If you're going have fun and stay safe!
