Backtrack (GIANTS, YOUR DEMISE 2004)
What more really needs to be said here, 3 superb bands. Also a chance to see the hype about YD2004.
Tickets only being £8 at the fighting cocks in Kingston, it's gonna be a sweaty night.
Turnstile (ANGEL DUST, BELOW, MANKIND, NO REST)
Playing at the Underworld Camden on the 7th.
Hardcore heaven. If you like heavy groovy mixes and up for a manic night then get your ticket.
Deez Nuts ( TRC, COUNTING DAYS, LOUIE KNUXX)
Playing at the Borderline London on the 13th.
Finally a chance to see Counting Days live, alongside Londons own hardcore's finest TRC who bring a mixture of rap and hardcore, producing new fresh sounds.
Worthwhile ( ELEPHANTIS, SHOWYOURTEETH)
Playing at the Garage London (upstairs) on the 19th.
A band that I have been waiting to come over and tour, Worthwile are from the states, producing angelic melodic sounds, along side harsh vocals. Elephantis follow to be a suitable support, keeping a solid build up for the tour.
'68 (Palm Reader, Baby Godzilla, Employed to Serve, Inarchives)
Playing at the garage London on the 17th.
Mainly would go just for Palm Reader and Baby Godzilla as Godzilla are known to put on a show. If you haven't seen this band live before, make sure you do before it's too late as no word can describe their live performances.
LA DISPUTE ( TOUCHE AMORE)
Reading warm up show at the Scala 21st.
What more could you want honestly? La Dispute and Touche? It's just perfect, if you're not going to Reading or Leeds then this is a show for you, or even so go again.
DEADBOLT festival (MANCHESTER)
Brand new to the scene, Deadbolt's first year opens its door to the Sound Control in Manchester for just £10. If you want to catch some upcoming local bands who are seriously underrated then this festival seems like a great deal. Roam, Astroid Boys and Giants are looking to be top for me.
VALES + GRAYSCALE + WHALE BELLY | The Black Heart, London | 19th August
Tickets are only £7, and who doesn't like a good old pub gig? 18+ and sick line up.
Recommend going to see Grayscale if you're into indie emo or a fan of Basement.
SEPTEMBER
The Front Bottoms (PUP)
Finally we get to see a UK headline tour from the New Jersey band.
Proving to be smashing on the Brand New tour, you don't want to miss out on this.
Giants (ROUGH HANDS, HINDSIGHTS)
Playing at the Barfly London on the 11th.
You don't want to miss this tour. If you still haven't heard of Giants then give them a listen right away, but they're another band that you have to see live to give them justice. Energetic, skate punk infused with Hardcore beats, supported by two similar acts.
Cytota (ZOAX)
With support from Zoax there is no reason why you should not go.
Another top band who are all about the performance and making the audience feel involved, Zoax never fail to disappoint or scare the shit out of you, go check it out for yourself.
Modern Baseball ( Spraynard, Chewing on Tinfoil, Losing Sleep)
Back in the UK again this year, we're lucky enough to hear more tunes from the Phili band.
Top band live, for cheesy jokes that aren't funny and just a great interactive night.
Me Vs Hero (ROAM)
Playing London o2 Islington (Upstairs)
Ending the summer and heading back to school you may as well squeeze one more gig in and what better way to celebrate a new semester with this tour.
Two top class pop punk bands. Also Roam are supporting and they haven't stopped touring since the start of this year so check out their hard work.
