Right. And with British punk stalwarts coming to Trees tomorrow night in support of their 23rd full-length release, it's fitting that such a lasting image would be chosen to represent the band's appearance--even if, OK, it's just the most recent lineup of the band. (Seriously: This band has had a lot of members.)

Even the secondary details on this flier scream punk rock--from the ransom-note like lettering to the stamp-like logos applied for the support bands.

Point is, you look at this poster and you immediately know what you're getting at the show. And, yes indeed, that's a good thing.

Think you can top this week's winner? Want to see one of your designs--or a poster made for your band's show, or really, any image you like and think to be deserving of this nod--get honored? Then go ahead and drop us an email with the image right here. Oh, and be sure to do so at least a week in advance of the show. We're already swimming in great options for the coming weeks, what with Halloween around the corner and all, so make sure your submissions are up to snuff. Thanks!
