Eyes Set to Kill Magic Stick Lounge • 8/16

With strong lead female vocals, Eyes Set to Kill is redefining what it sounds like to be an alternative metalcore band. Reminiscent of Paramore, Eyes Set to Kill has full wallowing vocals with a strong energetic metal rock backing that pushes the sound until it can't contain itself anymore and it falls over into a screaming release of painful heartache. And did we mention that every frickin' one of these people are gorgeous? Because there's that too. Doors at 8 p.m., more info at the majesticdetroit.com.

The Bodeans The Magic Bag • 8/23

Classic American rock straight from the roots, the Bodeans are a mix of soulful blues-rock and country.
