Sure, The Plague is a reminder of frontman David Adam Monroe's former band, the Warped Tour road dogs Third Estate, but it's still got some muscle of its own under the hood. Monroe has moved into production a bit, citing a list of big names he's twiddled knobs for and with, like Pink, Lady Gaga, and The Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock. This show will be a release show for The Plague's new EP, "Hope for the F.U.T.U.R.E.," which has already got some serious rotation on Spotify — 78,000 plays, man.

The Plague plays JBRD's holiday bash with Ignite Autumn on Saturday, December 16, at the Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut Street. 7:30 p.m. $10-$12. themontagemusichall.com; theplagueofficial.com.
