7/9/25 The Take at Live at the Shop in Dunbar, West Virginia
Wednesday July 9, 2025, Live at the Shop and Remain Convicted Promotions presents:
The Take!
The Take boasts two old friends from the NY underground scene getting together and providing hard-hitting punk rock. When veterans, Scotty Roberts on vocals/guitars (Spudmonsters, Bloodclot!, Biohazard) and Will Shepler on drums (Agnostic Front, Madball) team together, ears are ravaged and fists are raised high. For their new EP, Live for Tonight, Eric Klinger (Spudmonsters, Built Upon Frustration, Bloodclot!) slings bass to provide low end for The Takes aggressive, crunching guitars and driving rhythms. These components are propelled by a dark melody in the music and in the ominous vocals.
The Take left a deep boot print in the scene with their self-titled debut LP in 2019. Released on Demons Run Amok, who also released Live for Tonight, the record executed eleven abrasive tracks in thirty minutes. Live for Tonight continues the stark sound with lyrics forged in attitude and uncompromising resolution. Drenched in sweat and integrity, the power trio resurrects NYs brand of hardcore punk. Paying homage to the greats who defined (and tested) the grit of New York, The Take unleash a tenacious version of the music; catchy without traversing into pop. Gruff in throat and riff.
Live for Tonight provides four new tracks and an audacious cover of the power pop/glam classic, Saturday Night is Alright for Fighting. Outstanding jangly, hardcore bass lines shine as Klinger plays with enough dynamics for them to stand out on their own meandering ways. Roberts vocals remain commanding, spouting lyrics of rebellion and rage; check the simply stated, FU. Shepler continues to establish himself as an essential foundation as he has for thirty-five years.
Local support is provided by Rockwell's Ghost, Scrip, Swage, and Sheldon Vance.
This is an all ages show.
