Gwar Playing 2013 This Is Hardcore Fest

Posted by Chris Harris on April 1, 2013 in News

Gwar? Hardcore? Surely, you jest! How can you call your festival This Is Hardcore and have an alien metal band headline? This world constantly amuses and amazes me. The Electric Factory in Philadelphia is the site of this year’s fest, set for August 8 through August 11. Who else is playing? Glad you asked.

Terror, Goatwhore Added To New England Metal & Hardcore Festival

Posted by Chris Harris on March 1, 2013 in News

They might as well just release the entire lineup already. It’s not like the bill doesn’t already fucking rule. You think adding Terror’s going to get some kid to go, “Wait one hot fucking second! I wasn’t sold until this Terror announcement. Fuck it, I’ll go.” At this point, people are either going or not Read More

Trapped Under Ice Announce Hiatus

Posted by Chris Harris on February 23, 2013 in Departures, News, Rad

Good. This band blows hobos. I’m glad they’re taking a long overdue break. In a statement, Trapped Under Ice — the most mediocre of mediocre hardcore bands — says the hiatus starts in August, after they play a ton of farewell gigs. “We are NOT breaking up. This is by no means the end of Read More

Oh man! The lineup has been revealed for the upcoming “Bringin’ It Back For The Kids Fest 2: Electric Boogaloo” festival, and it’s mostly shit.

Trapped Under Ice To Tour

Posted by Chris Harris on August 5, 2012 in News, Tour Dates

Who cares? That band is fucking weak sauce. Yet, I have a feeling one or two of you might care that they’re touring. And maybe I am trolling just a touch. For real though, Trapped Under Ice are deplorable. They’re about as talented as my nipple hair, and my nipple hair specializes in Hatebreed covers, Read More
