Talked to a couple of members of an opener and was able to get a CD of their album that isnāt out for 2 months. Just because they play instruments On stage doesnāt mean they arenāt normal people.

šøš„ Thereās something pretty wild about the fact that Ben Harding from Senseless Things was rocking a Three and a Half Minutes T-shirt on the front cover of Melody Maker.
We toured with them, supported them at The Square in Harlow and shared the same scrappy, do-it-yourself spirit, and honestly, they were a huge inspiration.
If you loved Senseless Things, or just lived for that era when punk was raw and alive, then check out my book āThree and a Half Minutes of Fameā.

š¤I grew up in the hardcore music scene and have never fully left. Listening to hardcore music is mostly just dudes being nostalgic about āthe gold ol daysā etc etc and sadly you donāt get a ton of new/young bands that come in and shake up the genre and really get people EXCITED. That is until recently there are two bands that I love to recommend to people even though they are making a huge splash on their own as we speak.Ā ZuluThis is an all Black hardcore band, and that is something they make abundantly clear right away when you are listening to their music or seeing them live. When they played at LAās big hardcore fest this summer, thousands of people were in the crowd to see them. Their singer Anaiah goes out there and gets the entire crowd to go dead silent and then starts into this speech. āIn the name of Allah the benevolent and merciful, iād like to let everyone know that this band is dedicated to the millions of our ancestors that were stolen from our homeland of Africaā and continued on for 5 minutes straight, the crowd dead silent- then proceeded to play maybe the craziest set of the entire weekend. It was the coolest shit ive seen in a long time. You have to understand, hardcore has always been a scene mostly made up of white guys (and i am one of them), also getting a crowd to listen to a speech that long about ANYTHING is impressive. Also in that same set I saw Anaiah front flip into the crowd, then come back on stage and do some kind of spin into the splits dance move, iāll never forget it. What Zulu is doing is really noteworthy, impressive and really in line the original ethos of hardcore in a way that most bands havent been able to do pull off since it all began.Ā SPEEDThese guys are awesome. Australian hardcore band that plays insane live shows. When I first stumbled across them I saw their video for the song āWe See Uā and I was like āman this is either the corniest shit ive ever seen or the coolestā¦ā and honestly I think it walks the line in the sickest way, but I obviously realized that it is the coolest. These fools are literally like working out and boxing in their music videos, flexing muscles to the camera out the window of speeding cars etc. Itās the epidome of a stereotypical hardcore music video but in a really really good way. I think it works because they truly do love this music and it is their entire lives- and that shines through in everything they do. People love SPEED, I love them too. Speed and Zulu are all great people on and off the stage. If these dudes or Zulu are ever playing in your area, you should try to go. Even if you donāt listen to hardcore you should just go for the experience if you can get a ticket.

Recommend trying to avoid using your phoneās camera at all cost. Find an old film camera, a disposable, a digital camera, an old camcorder. Phone cameras make the whole world look flat and ugly.

šLiterally check out as many books as you can and give them at least a decent shot of a few chapters. Itās like listening to the radio but for books.

These dudes make some freaky stuff, call it post punk I guess? The drummer is crazy and the use of guitar and synth is super cool.
