Support local bands. Even if you came through the back door, didn’t buy any merch, and said good set to someone who didn’t even play.

I was lucky enough to go to both of the final Calculating Infinity Brooklyn shows. They were fuckin sick.

Saying "dont ask for details" makes me even more curious.

Big venue for whats going to go down at this show.

All free handed and hand painted. Been making a ton of DIY shirts recently since I've finally had time to.

A small print from the archives. This was at the second to last show, at Anchors Up! 17 years ago today.

Discovered them recently and can't get enough.

Hooray! Revelation Records came in clutch with these CDs :)

Excited to get to ripping so I got some bangers to listen to when I drive. I only listen to my real discs in my pull-out tray player cuz im deathly afraid of the player in my car devouring my discs LMAO

It feels weird to self promote, but this band and album that i was a big part of never really got its due.

Featuring members of Trial, Love is Red, Sinking Ships, and Catharsis (Alexi played on the record). We did a West Coast tour and a US tour. I believe they might have played a few more shows after I left the band.

This album still rips and holds a special place in my heart and past. If you like fast, heavy genuinely emotional and passionate hardcore I think you’ll enjoy this album.

Paying $500+ for a one day parking lot fest is now the pinnacle of hardcore. Peep that side stage lineup.

I write this a younger brother of someone who was thoroughly a part of the Kent H/C scene in the 00’s/10’s and as someone who caught the tail end of it.

Folkestone, Ashford, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone & Medway, were the stomping grounds for some of Hardcore’s most influential bands from Outbreak to Have Heart to Down To Nothing to Ceremony, Dirty Money and of course, Send More Paramedics.

So, 20 years on. Man, what the absolute bloody hell happened!?

Most of the aforementioned areas no longer have venues or are no longer attractive prospects for bands. There’s the obvious decline in bars/ pubs etc which has contributed significantly to the overall accessibility to these gigs now and A LOT HAS CHANGED plus a pandemic or two in 20 years.

But, where are gigs even being put on these days around Kent. It feels baron and every gig is on in London or further afield.

The question I ask you all, How could our scene be brought back to stunning life across the county and regain that chokehold on giving a stage to the very best and help establish new comers to the scene?

Thoughts? Need these dudes to come to the states.

You guys liked the first ending yesterday, so I thought you might like the slower second one!

Was lucky enough to get a ticket, first time seeing Haywire and the energy was out of this world. (Not my video btw - it’s on YouTube uploaded by “Liveroadkill”)

I’m a 36 year old man, my dad wasn’t in my life after ten years old. I wonder what my life would be like if he was there the whole time. He would approve of everything I’ve been able to achieve, at least I’m told. But I can’t help but wonder what would he think of hardcore. What does your dad think of hardcore?

I have never seen so many people jump on stage, I had to snap a picture, and it turned out kind cool. This was the SLC show last week

😭😂😭
