December’s edition of Turn! Turn! Turn!’s monthly showcase series, the aptly named Burn! Burn! Burn!, promises to be a truly heavy evening with an all-local lineup. The noise rock newbies of Maximum Mad are seizing the chance to squeeze in some extra stage time before their debut EP drops in 2017, while Humours will present its reimagined prog/psych/metal sound, made popular by the band’s previous outfit Mongoloid Village. It’s all brought together by Hair Puller, which blends metal and hardcore to illustrate the importance of sensual and consensual hair pulling. All proceeds from this show will go to the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based organization dedicated to combating bigotry and hate through education and litigation. Given the onslaught of crap coming America's way in January, offering any assistance to organizations like SPLC is key. CERVANTE POPE
