The primal impulse to tie your hometown to an epoch of music is as old as time. It’s often associated with genres of a certain vintage. And Philly is far from barren of genres that sprang up on its streets. It’s a victory for the Millennial set of Philly, though, that pop-punk has endured since the TRL days, when The Starting Line first put out their buoyant debut Say It Like You Mean It. Now, after a career studded with fest appearances and side projects such as frontman Kenny Vasoli’s Vacationer, they’re celebrating the albums ten-year anniversary, highlighted by a sure to be jam-packed, sold out show tonight at the Electric Factory. Anyone who ever bobbed their head to “Best of Me” on the way to study hall in the morning will be hard pressed to resist the emotional tug of this reunion. Electric Factory, 421 N. 7th St., 8pm, SOLD OUT, All Ages – Alyssa Greenberg
