“Like a hangover with harmony. Big choruses, bad decisions and songs about how everything’s getting worse but we’re still making the best of it,” promises England’s Back Teeth of their upcoming set at Foreign Dissent, Orlando’s international punk band showcase.
Event founder Craig Mazer is celebrating a decade of building a loud global community with a lineup of 10 firebrands from around the world. Foreign Dissent offers international bands already in Florida for Gainesville’s Fest an opportunity to add a gig (read: food money) in what is often their first time playing in the States.
This year features bands from Chile, England, Mexico, Germany, Italy and Japan. Chile’s Germinar share the inspiration they find on our shores with OW: “Many of the bands that inspired and still inspire us come from Florida and the U.S., so this feels like a really special trip.” And this will doubtless be a special night.
