Atlanta’s Circle Takes the Square isn’t the first hardcore group to feature duo vocals, but the group is one of the few to mix genders. Bassist Kathy Coppola and guitarist Drew Speziale combine their talents for scratchy, on-key screaming laid over their fast-paced, hardcore sound. Breakdowns feature softer sounds as Speziale calms down to a trembling spoken-word tone, as if he’s trying to reason with Coppola. The result sounds like what would happen if Pretty Girls Make Graves decided to be more hardcore than rock ‘n’ roll — an interesting mix for fans of the genre. Austin’s Faithealer and the hardcore, experimental sounds of local instrumental groups By The End of Tonight and B. start things off at 8 p.m. Walter’s, 4215 Washington. For information, call 713-862-2513 or visit www.4215washington.com. $10.
