SWMRS
Bay Area punk has a specific accent to it, less interested in being tough than in being fast and slightly funny, and bands that come out of it tend to inherit an audience that treats shows as a social obligation rather than entertainment. That is the useful part. People turn up for each other as much as for the band, which is why the floor behaves like a group that has met before even when it has not. The records are shorter and more hook-driven than the genre tag suggests, and live they lose some of the polish, which is an improvement. What you notice is how young a lot of the room is, and how much that changes the energy compared to a nostalgia crowd: nobody here is revisiting anything. Go if you have been complaining that nothing feels urgent any more, and prepare to concede the point.

You found your people.
They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
