The Holy Fuck, A Place To Bury Strangers, and Airiel show this coming Sunday at Schubas sold out quite a while ago, but we've got a pair of tickets to give away to some lucky Chicagoist reader.

It's the sort of show we HIGHLY recommend bringing a pair of earplugs to -- or more, if you want to become popular and make new friends -- since all three bands are insanely loud. Chest throbbingly, ear-splittingly, gloriously loud.

Holy Fuck's new self-titled mixes squelching vocals with chiming vibes and tribal drums, and then buries the whole thing under layers of fuzzy bass and screaming guitars. And the first time we heard A Place To Bury Strangers' debut we seriously thought our stereo EQ was broken since everything was about twenty steps over the red line decibel-wise. And local opener Airiel have already proven themselves to be on of the loudest bands in Chicago. But all three groups are also gifted when it comes to injecting actual songs into the intense attack of unrelenting sonic assault.

Enter after the jump by 5:00 p.m. today for your chance to invite your ears to the noise party.
