8/6 - Arc Agency Presents Punch, Living Eyes, Oathbreaker, Cold Snap and More!

In the past year or so, there has been a whole slew of great shows at the Point Beach Clubhouse in Milford, and The Arc Agency continues the trend with this gig coming up on Monday. The last time Punch played in CT was at the Whitney House well over a year ago with Loma Prieta and Vaccine. This time they're back on tour with Living Eyes (which coincidentally features members of Punch and Loma). Oathbreaker, the gnarly Belgian band currently signed to Deathwish, recently hopped on the bill. They are currently traveling down to Philadelphia to play This is Hardcore next weekend.

To round out the bill we have three diverse and interesting locals representing a decent spread of what CT punk has to offer. Hunger Strike opens the show, playing a bizarre and frantic brand of screamo (with horns!). Loach have been playing out constantly for the past couple of months and they bring a blistering hardcore punk energy to the bill. And then there's CT veterans, Cold Snap, responsible for some of the strangest and most original hardcore jams to come out of the state. They also have the distinction of being the slowest (and most dapper) band on the bill.

Doors are at 6 pm. $10 admission. It takes place at the Point Beach Clubhouse at 204 Melba St in Milford.
