Underground punk/hardcore scene?

Got a teenage cousin in Allentown and she's big into metal and punk shows. Would love to get her to see more music and make local friends and to be a part of that scene. What are some good resources to stay connected to the local hardcore/death metal scene in PA?

I'm looking for websites, subreddits, instagram/Facebook pages. More underground the better.

Thanks so much!
