Cop Warmthย’s sound is packed with so much angst, youย’d have to sit on it to zip it shut. The local threesome goes full out in their one-to-two-minute tunes, with dirty guitars and vocals shouted at a pace just fast enough to get the lyrics out before the singers run out of breath. In true hardcore fashion, each song features a hastily sung verse with a chorus perfect for fist–pumping sing-alongs. That is, if the fans arenย’t too busy beating the crap out of each other to stop and do so. Cop Warmth takes the stage with Party Garbage, the Takes and Das Kapital at 7 p.m. The Proletariat, 903 Richmond. For information, call 713-523-1199 or visit
