VOLIÈRE 9:15-10:00

Belgium slam with various brutal death metal and grind bits, coming with that drum machine over the topness. Bird themed, which could only mean massive screeches and funny costumes. 45 min set.

POWER FAILURE 8:30-8:55

Essex hardcore with a good dose of angry powerviolence, short songs full of rage. Fast, switchups, breakdowns, heavy, really sick live music mosh.

GRUNK 7:45-8:10
getthegrunkout.bandcamp.com/album/tales-from-the-stupidity-vortex-2
Rugby’s answer to absurdism grindcore. Lots of vocals and lots of switch ups. Really chaotic, fast and lots of lovely different noises.

CONVULSION 7:00-7:25
convulsiongxc.bandcamp.com/album/you-falter-you-fail-you-fall
SEHC heavy hitters with noisy guitar and gutturals. Mix of fast, hardcore breakdowns and super gross sludge moments for violent dancing.

WOMBSTONE 6:15-6:40
wombstone.bandcamp.com/album/partial-suicide
wombstone.bandcamp.com/album/martial-homicide
SEHC answer to absurdism grindcore. Slap bass, wah pedal guitar, jazz drums, big man vocals. Has breakdowns but only if you’re quick enough to realise to dance. Has that one moshable rap song.

ANGRYGYNOPHILES 5:35-6:00
agpqueercore.bandcamp.com
SEHC queercore trio, real punk fury styles going all in. Blending punk riffs with super loud fast screamy grindcore speed and hardcore influenced breakdown sections.

DAY 2 – Saturday 30th May

PREY 9:50-end
preyhardcore.bandcamp.com
Hardcore powerviolence from various areas of the UK, real fast and real heavy. Trading vocals and classic tempo switch ups, all kinds of punk and hardcore creativity. Just awesome hardcore.

CHARRED ATLAS 9:15-9:35
charred-atlas.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-pick-a-fight-with-a-planet
Midlands/northern legends of fastcore and powerviolence, higher range riffs and some of the fastest songs ever, with plenty of sick added flairs and fills and super precise short stop/start gaps.

POTHOLE 8:40-9:00
flhcc.bandcamp.com
Lincoln future hall of famers continuing to make sick powerviolence, splits with fast friends, repping FLHC and keeping it fast and DIY in their own ends too. Real OG punk and PV players, not one to miss.

THUMBSUCKER 8:05-8:25
thumbsucker.bandcamp.com
Legends from Leicester and previous fast hardcore band heroes, mad fast and tight, heavy and angry, everything you would expect plus more hardcore. What else can I say, they’re fast and hard!

THIS HURTS 7:30-7:50
thishurts147.bandcamp.com
Stevenage darlings with tasteful samples, classic short, fast and chaotic powerviolence. Newer ish band but well experienced fast friends in this game of speed, already putting out loads of sick music.

WARDEN 6:55-7:15
warden2.bandcamp.com
SEHC deathcore warriors, perfectly emulating the classic early golden age, strapped with solos, fast blasts, melodic riffs and a range of vocals. You already know who it is! And if you don’t, where you been???

IT’S COLD OUT 6:20-6:40
itscoldoutishouldkillmyself.bandcamp.com
SEHC serious myspace mathcore 2-piece brothers, odd time sigs and insane precision and technical ability. Melodic bits too. Spinkick friendly mathy breakdowns if you know how to fight in 9/8.

WASTING THIRST 5:45-6:00

SEHC powerviolence trio, no guitar, 2 bass, distorted high treble tones, sick chunky slow parts and of course fast bits. Samples too. Really sick new bloods.
