Expire/Bent Life tour poster

Two of the hardest and most crucial bands of today's hardcore, together on tour with one of the best posters I've seen lately (old school tattoo art & hardcore just go well together)... you just can't beat that shit!

 

And since we're on the subject of brutally heavy no frills hardcore, perhaps you should check out this track from Bent Life to see what they're about! Razor sharp metallized riffs, mid tempo grooviness and a definite reality check with the hard mosh at 01:20!

REBEL 8: LA Streetstyle Worldwide

 REBEL 8 is a clothing company close to the heart of hardcore kids. The company was founded in 2003 and since then it has been making awesome streetwear that stems from graffiti, tattoo and skateboard culture (3 things closely affiliated with hardcore music as well).

The mastermind behind REBEL 8 is the infamous graffiti and tatto artist, Mike Giant. He is one of the guys that take their creativity to the next level, managing to carve a new niche by doing what they love, even though it might not be so popular when they start out. People like Mike Giant are all about utilizing their talents and seeing the possibilites that an underground culture may have. This Buddhist, party animal, bike lovin', legend of an artist has managed to use the things he loves in life to his advantage and has built REBEL 8 into a respectable compamy based on Giant's all original, most characteristic - still hand-drawn - design.
