Palm Coast’s Home Is Where are well-poised to be Florida’s next great indie contender. With an indie-rock spectrum wide enough to run the gamut from emo expressiveness to screamo intensity, they have a poignant, original sound that unfolds like a natural and powerful evolution rather than some ungainly Frankenstein fusion simply for art’s sake.
Moreover, their brand-new album, The Whaler — produced by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Gouge Away, Joyce Manor) and released on Philadelphia label Wax Bodega — is an exceptional work that pushes their moving and muscular formula up to even more thrilling peaks.
More home-grown goodness will come from Jacksonville melodic post-hardcore band Gilt and Gainesville indie-pop act Rugh. And Smidley, the solo project of Foxing singer Conor Murphy, will give the bill some real star power.
7 p.m., Saturday, July 15, Will’s Pub, $18-$20.
