Montage Music Hall does not do things quietly. The 400-capacity club on Chestnut Street in downtown Rochester has built a reputation as one of the go-to rooms in the region for heavy music, and on Friday, June 4, 2027, it is hosting a bill worth making the drive for.
BRICK BY BRICK — the metallic hardcore force that clawed its way out of Troy, NY’s underground scene in 2004 — is coming to Rochester with a stacked supporting lineup. Deep Distain, Torrent, and With Teeth fill out the card, which means the floor is going to be moving well before headlining time. Plan accordingly.
About Brick by Brick
If you have never caught Brick by Brick live, here is the short version: they are a band that lives in the overlap between hardcore and metal without fully belonging to either, and they have been working that territory for over two decades. Influences include Slayer, Agnostic Front, Black Sabbath, and Sick of It All — the whole family tree of aggressive New York music — and the current four-piece delivers on all of it.
The lineup is Ray Mazzolla on vocals, Mike Valente on guitars, Andy Parsons on bass, and Jeff Facci on drums. Valente is the sole remaining original member, the engine of this band since day one in Troy. Their sixth album, Hive Mentality, dropped in February 2019 on Upstate Records and featured guest appearances from Vincent Bennett of The Acacia Strain and Tony Foresta of Municipal Waste. They have toured with Madball, Slapshot, and Iron Reagan and played stages at the Black n Blue Bowl, Tsunami Fest, and the New England Metal and Hardcore Fest. A regional meadery created a mead in the band’s honor. That is the kind of local credibility you cannot manufacture.
