The Subjects
The Subjects’ MySpace mockingly claims that they are “Like Nickelback but less ballsy.” Thankfully, this Brooklyn based prog-rock band is more dynamic than the aforementioned group in all aspects. Move to their harmonic vocals and clap-along sound alongside Bad Veins and MoTel Aviv.

Where: Emo’s, 603 Red River St.
Tickets: $10

Tickets: $12 advance, $14 door
