Sound And Fury Poster

Some of the best names in contemporary hardcore music can be found in one single event: Sound & Fury fest.

Us Europeans may have Fluff Fest, which is of course awesome and a great event for HC kids worldwide, but man... the bands on Sound & Fury! This bill is just crazy.

Positively Positive Hardcore Punk Fest #5

Positively Positive is a hardcore fest that has been taking place in the city of Athens every December  for a good 5 years now. It has become a staple part of the Greek hc/punk scene, with the kids eagerly waiting to kickstart the holidays with this pre-Xmas hardcore show. Furthermore, the organizers make sure to bring some of the hottest DIY acts of the day, and make our time spent in An Club's basement worth the ride.

This year, the promoter decided to push the fest towards a more melodic hc/ punk rock direction, with a couple of awesome European bands and a few good local acts. Make sure to check it out!

News: MY TURN Berlin mini tour

Hey! The reason why this blog is kind of quiet during the end of this week is that yours truly is away in Germany for a couple of shows with the band My Turn. For now, make sure to check http://myturnhc.blogspot.com/ for the mini tour diary blog and we will be back with you with more ferocious hardcore and metal very very soon!

Live Show: Athens Hardcore Matinee

Live shows with a strict hardcore/punk focus are super fucking rare in the Greek indie music scene. The lack of a scene and bands playing old school hardcore, has pushed the few bands that do this style kind of play as the odd band in punk, metal etc shows. Therefore, it's totally awesome and new to have a show with bands that play strictly old school, straight to the point hardcore. It's great to have most of the Greek bands who play OSHC do a show together. So, tonight, forget about the crisis and make your way to the An Club if you live in Athens!

Flyer: Diablo F.E.S.T

Just check out the bands on this bill: Murphy's Law, Skarhead, Lordz of Brooklyn... all NYHC! There is also a certain Darkside NYC playing, which is such a infamous and extreme fucking band. Possibly the band that started the whole death metal/hardcore, deathcore etc phenomenon back in the day. Make sure to check them out!
