‘All that metal stuff sounds the same’? Nuh-uh. Innovative and hard-rocking Washington, D.C. outfit Periphery are here to prove you wrong.

The sextet got together in 2005, and with a triple threat of guitarists they layer together complex and challenging melodies, as last heard on Periphery II – but there’s more new material on the way. In the meantime, they’re on the way Down Under, and bringing Tosin Abasi’s Animals as Leaders along with them.

See them at the Metro Theatre on Saturday February 1.
