SPY (us)
SPY is a five-piece hardcore punk band from the San Francisco Bay Area. Their chimeric tracks shift in an instant from rock and roll riffs to injure-somebody hardcore and back again, all over a distorted, dystopian backdrop. Nowhere is this more clear than on SATISFACTION, their debut LP, released on June 2nd, back in 2023, via Triple B Records. SPY formed out of the lightning in a bottle Bay Area DIY scene in 2020 and made an immediate impact with their SERVICE WEAPON EP, six minutes and forty-nine seconds of raw, distorted hardcore punk. The EP HABITUAL OFFENDER followed in 2021. Their LP release arrives amidst two consecutive years of US-EU touring, with no let-up in sight. The band recently signed to Closked Casket Activities, who will be taking care of their new record “Soon Enough”
TORMENTED IMP
Exclusive Benelux show. Brand new destructive noise from the same Leeds layabouts that also brought you ONA SNOP, MORTUARY SPAWN, THE REFLECTING SKIN and THE SHITS. TORMENTED IMP has a sound that was most definitely forged in fire, taking the whirlwind speed and aggression of TOTALITAR and POISON IDEA and cross-contaminating it with the best of Burning Spirits Japanese Hardcore ala DEATH SIDE. All topped off with growled, slobbering vocals over top the instrumental bedlam. 18-odd minutes of aural assault and battery on the human anatomy.
FLUX (be)
Sounding like a chronic toothache, Flux is a new fistpump clique fronted by the infamous Anneke Chips.
Post-VERZET. Expect some short, political songs. Expect some familiar faces within the punkscene.
