Next Show : Cemented Minds (FRA), Swelle (Vienna), Ghost Ambulance (Vienna) @ Venster99


10.05.25 Hardcore For The Losers show : CEMENTED MINDS (ex Amanda Woodward, Caen - Linz) One more band from my favorite European scene. This one also features members of one of my all time bands. There's nothing more to say, if you liked the Schedule 1 concert a few months ago, you'll love this one too. Their COLOSTRUM EP 10" was released in 2019 on Hardcore For The Losers and they were supposed to play a year later but the pandemic stopped us, now we are finally ready. "Not necessarily in the classic Joy Division-sense but rather in the cocktail meshed up by adding equal measures of early Midwestern Emo like Mineral and some bass-heavy European bands like Buzzcocks or the melancholic Siouxsie and the Banshees." @veil_of_sound + GHOST AMBULANCE (Vienna) "Vienna’s latest addition to the ever growing slowcore/emo scene – incredible songs where slow and delicate meets emotional and heavy, in the music as well as in the lyrics. SWELLE (Vienna) Swelle makes noisy alt rock in the spirit of Midwest emo. Twinkly and fuzzy in a garagey sort of way, the songs are as sweet as they are angry.

11.04.25 Hardcore For The Losers show :
This is the real deal and GC are finally returning to Europe.
----------------------------
GILLIAN CARTER (Palm Bay, Florida, USA ~ Dog Knights Productions, Skeletal Lightning)
"You know the proverbial moment when the rug is pulled out from under you? Well, that’s what the music of Gillian Carter sounds like. In a free fall between post-hardcore, blackened noise, punk, metal, and screamo, it repeatedly hits with unexpected intensity. Often, a barrage of percussion barrels forward under grinding guitars and gnashing screams only to stop, turn around, and smack you once more without prejudice. All of this force impressively derives from vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Logan Rivera accompanied by Bob Caruso [bass] and Tony Oriza [drums].
+ Solid local support :
DISCURE (Blackened hardcore/punk from Vienna)
INDOCTRINATE (Chaotic hardcore/punk from Vienna)

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!
Support:
UNABLE TO FULLY EMBRACE THIS HAPPINESS
Austrian screamo/emoviolence legends are reuniting for this special night. Their sound could best be described as "Honeywell - Industry LP", from 1993. Don't miss!

01.03.2025 Hardcore For The Losers show : 

Oi! Oi!

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." 

BAD WEED (Vienna)
They are defending power pop colour's of Vienna.
