MARK THE DATE: Friday, Oct. 15, Flood Twin play the Earl to mark the release of their full-length, self-titled debut album. Like their photo, the music is dark, an exploration of a world that no longer allows us to simply exist, but forces us to fight for the survival we once took for granted. The ongoing pandemic, uncertainty of the future and knowledge that what was once ‘normal’ no longer has any meaning — to any of us — is territory not for the faint of heart. They’ve already been labelled “post punk.” Make that "post post punk” and you’re nearer to the mark. Pictured, from left, J. Leslie Hedberg, Grant W. Curry, and Sterling. — Tony Paris
