The guys of the Fort Lauderdale foursome Howitzer may sound tough as nails on record, churning out a classic style of street punk in the vein of old Doc Marten-footed acts like Sham 69 and Cock Sparrer. But for all the swagger of their shout-along anthems, which boast titles like “The Bottle Let Me Down,” the musicians have some big hearts. Enter their Sunday-evening event at Churchill’s in honor of Memorial Day. Proceeds from the multiband-soundtracked barbecue all go to an appropriate, worthy cause: the Homeless Veterans fund at the Miami VA hospital. Whatever your stance on the current war, we can all agree that those who serve shouldn’t be neglected afterward.
