Post Teens & Shitstorm Brought Florida Punk Rock Energy To Strange Matter
As soon as I heard Gainesville, Florida’s Post Teens were playing in Richmond, I was looking forward to the show. I’m from Gainesville myself, and I used to work with Rick and Tony from Post Teens at BFD, a restaurant in Gainesville. I was incredibly stoked to see my friends again. I had no idea Rick Smith (Torche) would also be touring with them, playing drums in Shitstorm. But this show, which took place on April 9th at Strange Matter, wasn’t just cool for personal reasons. It was one of the best shows I’ve been to in a long time. All of the bands on the bill impressed me.
