Update: Rest Ashore have dropped off this show.

With all the shit-for-brains national discourse happening right now, these MAGA motherfuckers are making everyone else also want to roll the clocks back to a better, though decidedly different, time.

Well, this bill will take you to a kinder, gentler indie scene. With their combination of melodic emo heart and math angles, New York’s Rest Ashore is an indie-rock twofer straight out of the 1990s. Orlando’s Better Place and Gainesville’s The Real You also revive classic emo vibes. Although decidedly not emo, Orlando’s The Synthetics — who just released a good debut collection titled Glimpses of Heaven — go further back into the bleakly romantic post-punk of the 1980s.

Let’s make America sensitive again.

8 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, Will’s Pub, $10.
