Next Show : PG.99 (US), Unable To Fully Embrace This Hapiness @ Arena

07.04.2025 Hardcore For The Losers show : 

PG.99 (US)
Hailing from Sterling, Virginia, pageninetynine have embraced the hardcore punk life and lived that dream in every conceivable way. Try as they might, they can't keep away – although they have had periods of inactivity over the years, they always find their way back together. With a sprawling live presence, and an extensive back catalogue, they're a veritable feast regardless of whether you encounter them live or in the comfort of your own home.

Each of their records is quite literally a document of the time it was created – a stamp in the history books of punk rock. They'd probably bat us away if they caught us using words like 'iconic' in their presence, but it's hard to deny that they've established themselves quite a legacy along the way – and they're not done yet. Whether they commit something new to tape or not, this trip to Europe is a new marker in time in the life cycle of pageninetynine – and one we're happy to celebrate with them. For the first time since 20 years back in Europe!

ALVILDA (Static Shock Records, Alien Snatch Records ~ Paris, France) 

Alvilda is Nina, Mélanie, Eva, and Sandra. Members of Oi! punk bands (Squelette, Bromure) from Paris with power pop hit : 

"Their bouncy songs are full of energy and a lot of fun, but also really well executed and sound strikingly authentic like this is some long lost late seventies gem. Alvilda mix ’60s girl group with ’70s Good Vibrations pop punk influences and je t’aime it a lot." addtowantlist.com

LOOSEY (Roachleg Records ~ New York City, US)

"Formed in 2021 in New York City by members of The New York Hounds, Yellow Eyes, and near countless other underground punk and metal bands, Loosey have quickly made a name for themselves with their charismatic and wildly unpredictable live show.  The two highly sought after, self released EPs that followed have only further cemented their reputation for delivering infectious and joyful rock’n’roll like basically no one else can these days."

Next Show : Berthold City (US), Risk It (DE), Alive Inside (VIenna) @ Rhiz

28.02.2025 Hardcore For The Losers show :

BERTHOLD CITY (Straight Edge Hardcore, Los Angeles, US ~ War Records)
"The brainchild of musician Andrew Kline (Strife, World Be Free), Berthold City first landed on the hardcore scene's radar via a 2017 demo. The straight edge band's sound captures an immediate and intense spirit in both their fast-charging song arrangements and straight-from-the-shoulder lyrics.

Andrew's primary partners in Berthold City throughout the years have been guitarist Dennis McDonald (Internal Affairs) and bassist John "Eightclip" Jenkins (Allegiance), but no matter who has been in their live or recording lineups, the band has never disappointed. " @noechodotnet

RISK IT (Dresden Hardcore ~ Farewell Records)
Dresdens finest hardcore is one of the the longest-lived representatives of EUHC. We had the opportunity to host them almost 10 years ago with No Turning Back at Venster99.

CHISEL (London, UK - La Vida Es Un Mus, Pure Noise Records)

 

Chisel is coming to Vienna and Austria for the first time and this will also be an exclusive concert for this area in 2025. One of the leading bands of the new British punk sound, they found themselves as flag bearers of modern British street punk by accident. 

The band wasn’t supposed to be more than a pandemic project for bored and listless UK punks. Through luck and sheer force of aggression, they built a following that awaited them when lockdown restrictions began to lift. “It just took off, really. I wish there was more to it,” says guitarist Charlie Walker Manning matter-of-factly. “If I knew how to do that again, I would do it again!”  

 

SPIRITUAL LAW (Bavaria-Austria - STTW Records) 

One of my favorite bands and people from this area, they are coming to Vienna for the second time, and they couldn't be a better fit for this concert. Hinterland Hardcore / Punk.

Early start, no punk time.

(SOLD OUT)

Hardcore For The Losers show :

One announcement to kill this heat with a cold January date. After 2016 and the concert at Das Bach (rip). Syndrome 81 is coming to visit us, as an exclusive Austrian show and the surrounding region.

SYNDROME 81 (Brest, France - Destracture Records, Sabotage)
"stands apart from the majority of their contemporaries in the Oi! scene, taking as much inspiration from latter-era BLITZ or even ROSE OF VICTORY as they do CAMERA SILENS or TROTSKIDS. This darker, solemn take on the genre with touches and flourishes of deathrock and post-punk is a bit of a palate cleanser compared to some of the more tedious caricatures that the Sambas-and-camo-shorts mob farts out semi-regularly, and on their debut full-length they sound tighter and more fully- realized then ever before. Punchy and anthemic, this has the potential to be one of the best releases of the year." Ben Marshall

+ solid support

DENIM (Vienna - Contra Records)
Aggressive Oi! with Hardcore influence.

PAROLE 80 (Vienna - Conterganpunk)
Oi-influenced punk with eastern european vibe.
