Crossing the Border: Boston Bands Head to Canada for Pouzza Fest

Festival Punk de Montréal 2013! Canadian booking service, L'Écurie (The Stable) will host punk rock in all its poutine covered, French Canadian glory during the 2013 Pouzza Fest, May 17th-19th in downtown Montreal, which features over 150 bands, including several from the Bay State. Along with big name hometown bands such as Big D and the Kids Table and A Wilhelm Scream, several more modest bands will be heading up to the land of hockey and bacon this spring.

Cerce (Pronounced sert-zay)

The female fronted Boston hardcore band, Cerce (Mayfly Records), appears to hail from several locations including New York, California and Philadelphia, but is in town long enough to play the Smash It Dead Fest, a weekend- long benefit for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC), on March 31st at the Democracy Center, Cambridge.
