Info
On 16 October 2026 at O2 Institute Birmingham, Ben Quad bring a set shaped by emo in constant motion. Formed in Oklahoma City in 2018, the quartet sits at the crossroads of pop punk, post-hardcore, Midwest emo and flashes of screamo. Their writing leans on nervous guitars, taut melodies and abrupt rhythmic swerves. Early markers arrived with Spring 2018 Demo: The Birth of Ben Quad, followed by a run of splits in 2018–2019 with My Heart & Liver Are the Best of Friends, Brooding and Sweet Peach that quickly folded them into the US DIY emo circuit. The band tightened the screws on the debut I’m Scared That’s All There Is in 2022, then pushed further with the EP Ephemera in 2024. After a stint with Wax Bodega, they linked with Pure Noise Records and carried the thread into Wisher in 2025. On stage, the balance shifts between pop‑punk tension and a more jagged sensitivity, without settling into nostalgia.
Riley! joins the bill from the US, adding another angle to the night’s emo-punk palette.
