Bookstores are wonderful spaces for quiet contemplation, but local booking collective Tiny Sounds proves their headbanging potential. The show organizers curate at several venues across town, but their emo/punk programming at West Campus staple Alienated Majesty strikes a cathartic chord. Often connecting local talent with touring bands – a recent bill paired Phoenix’s Troubled Minds with Texas thrashers Sulk II – the group’s DIY bent and zine publishing aligns beautifully with the bookstore’s radical ethos. If you’ve ever dreamed of moshing next to a shelf of literary criticism, check out the Tiny Sounds calendar.
