Colonel Poo - did you end up going to Static Shock Weekend? and if so, was it your last show pre-COVID?
that wouldn't be a bad way to go out!
― alpine static, Thursday, 20 August 2020 06:11 (three years ago) link
iirc he posted about it on special interest thread.. lucky bastard ;)
― flopson, Thursday, 20 August 2020 06:25 (three years ago) link
I like Home Blitz, I have one of their albums. They covered Cock Sparrer on it iirc so I think that makes them eligible for this thread.
I did go to Static Shock Weekend, but only the Thursday (Special Interest night) and Saturday (Muro headlined that but I had to leave about 5 mins into their set to get the last train). tbh I was really not in the right place to be at the Saturday one, I didn't really want to be around people and I ended up eating too many edibles and having to sit in the corner for half of it. Thursday was good though.
It wasn't the last gig I went to pre-COVID, I went to see Snuff (90s pop-punk band) in Hastings the weekend after. I'm not a massive fan of them but I hadn't seen them since I was 18 and they were playing where I live so I figured I'd go.

Old friends from the Bay Area have an new record coming out...
https://m.soundcloud.com/blankfrank13/ccr-headcleaner-save-the-song
Live they have a definite psych-punk fury that's really engaging, this feels a little tame to me but it's also been some years since I've seen them live. Maybe some of you might dig!

some good stuff there, although I wasn't blown away by some of those (Loud Night, Warwound, the Lebenden Toten one is a live album so it's all songs I already have)
my favourites on there are Clock of Time, Permission, Geld, Muro (both records) & Subdued. also liked Kobra, Cadenaxo, Mutant Strain, Destruct and Life.

Same, they're very fun live. All these new preview tracks are dope and unexpectedly accessible for pop crossover.
This is definitely the first time I've heard any hardcore attempting Wincing The Night Away / Target-commercial millennial whoops. And it's actually somehow good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ny1fjdLKew

re: new Turnstile
There isn't a rolling punk 2021 that I can find so I'll post this here.
The Bronx never much impressed me and their Mariachi El Bronx stuff made me roll my eyes.However the new album that came out today has a spark to it that hits the spot nicely.It's catchy without being pop-punk a la some of my favorite albums by Supersuckers and Speedealer.

Saw the Bronx open for Dropkick (yuk) and Rancid at an outdoor show last night. They were...really good? In fact, they were great! Really surprising tbh. Rancid were shambolic and excellent per usual, hadn't seen them in more than two decades. Had a nice time despite the swarms of Dropkick fans.

idg turnstile. sounds like incubus
― flopson, Thursday, 2 September 2021 04:31 (two years ago) link
i know “hardcore” and “hardcore punk” are 2 diff genres (also chubby and the gang are the latter and totally fair game itt) and the former is more of an outgrowth of emo/metal but i was surprised to read on pitchfork that the most innovative thing a hardcore band can do in 2021 is sound like radio alt rock
― flopson, Thursday, 2 September 2021 04:33 (two years ago) link
They've definitely moved more rock as time goes on but I'm kinda here for it. If Incubus grew up raised by Snapcase.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Thursday, 2 September 2021 14:23 (two years ago) link
The surprise veering into non-hardcore directions is consistent with the first two albums. This new one definitely jumps around more frequently and heads down more adventurous avenues, but it would sound gimmicky to me if the record wasn't just as solid as the earlier ones. The jams are still dope.
― billstevejim, Friday, 3 September 2021 02:25 (two years ago) link
haven't really caught up with stuff coming out this year, but I am going to my first hardcore gig for the first time in 18 months:
Damage Is Done II, London New Cross Inn Saturday 20/11/2021:
T.S.WarspiteFlaccidStringrayInstructorPest ControlRated XThe AnnihilatedNekraGameThe FlexWildside
Thinking that's probably not the same Flaccid that put out a cool 7" in 2014 just cos it's been 7 years. Heard good things about Stingray. I have records by Game and the Flex and they are both excellent bands. Heard demos by Nekra & the Annihilated and they both sound good. Thought Wildside & Rated X were just OK though. Don't know the other bands.
