Deathwish hardcore hooligans Harm’s Way blew my mind last weekend at Temples Festival. They brought upbeat energy into a main stage that, over the course of the weekend, saw more doom and drone than anything else. Luckily for all you Yankee Doodles, the Chicago outfit are taking their newest album, Rust, on a month long summer tour. Get on over the jump, find out if they’re playing near you and if they are, get your mosh gear on and leave the kids at home.

With the tour coming to a stop at This Is Hardcore, chances are the band will have already smashed their way through crowds full of energy and aggro. They were definitely one of the more entertaining bands at Temples and even if you aren’t into hardcore per say, I strongly recommend checking them out. Eternal Sleep and The Beautiful Ones are bands I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m not familiar with but rest assured, I’ll be checking them out in the days to come. Don’t be a wimp, get to this show and bounce.
