The Porn Hall will host another show featuring music from local and out-of-state punkers.

On Feb. 4, a five-band lineup will fill Keith’s living room. The expected bands are Life Like of Saint Louis, Blank Bodies of Denver, Table Manners of Jackson and Hattiesburg natives Baghead and Dumspell.

Porn Hall resident and owner Hampton Martin said on the event Facebook page that Life Like is “hardcore” and “the real deal.”

“The first time I saw this band, it was a generator show under a bridge in New Orleans next

to some railroad tracks,” Martin said. “The cops came and broke it up, and everyone moshed extra hard.”

According to Life Like vocalist Joe Sulier, the band has been playing for three or four years and released a 7-inch with Deranged Records, a couple of tapes with Lumpy Records and an EP with Kreep Treet Records. The band has done four U.S. tours, and their upcoming tour is with Blank Bodies, who will also perform at the Porn Hall.

“Our sound is pretty straightforward hardcore,” Sulier said. “Someone described us as a mix between Born Against and ‘80s New York hardcore.”

According to Sulier, Life Like’s next tour will start Jan. 31 in Kentucky and end Feb. 9 in Oklahoma City.

The show will start 7 p.m. at the Porn Hall with a $4 to $7 donation at the door for the touring bands.
