“Manchester Punk Festival is the musical highlight of my year. It lifts my spirits so much to see so many like minded people gathering to open their minds to new music and new friends. It gets better every year and i’m proud to be part of it.” Sam Russo

“MPF is a rare thing; a multi venue festival that manages to be independent, affordable and encompass every single conceivable sub genre of punk into a weekend long celebration of both the unifying spirit of punk rock and the amazing city of Manchester.” James Hull / Apologies, I Have None

Dead Dog Summer – novi single i video!

Leave a comment

Dead Dog Summer su post-hardcore bend iz Čakovca, a “Sometimes” je njihov drugi singl koji najavljuje album prvijenac “A Place of Someday”.
Glazba koju sviraju je najlakše opisati kao post-hardcore, a tu se isprepliču različiti žanrovi, od punka, mid 90-ies screama, hardcorea i sličnih žanrova, a njihov zvuk je kombinacija prštećih i žestokih gitara, vrištećih i pjevnih vokala s čvrstom ritam sekcijom.
“Sometimes” je pjesma o životu koju živimo, o tome kako često živimo tuđe snove, a svoje odgađamo kako bi udovoljili drugima da ih ne razočaramo, a kada shvatimo da to nije naš život onda je vrijeme za promjene.

SWELL SETS TO RELEASE DEBUT EP ‘MERCY NEVER WANTED ME’!

Leave a comment

It seems hard to believe this EP is the first outing from fresh Dutch hardcore outfit SWELL POSSE. The Netherlands based band creates a fresh mix of hard-hitting classic hardcore music and less traditional elements. Not wanting to wait until the pandemic blew over, the
band took the world by surprise by suddenly dropping a demo called ‘Dying Kiss’.
The demo left people hungry for more, and only a few months after ‘Dying Kiss’ the band started teasing the first bits of the EP we are now very close to unleashing into the world. ‘Blacklist’ (along with a music video directed by Zino Rosmolen), ‘Test of Time’ and ‘King of Lies’ already make for a good sing along at SWELL’s early shows.
SWELL is signed to Stay True bookings and starting playing live show at the very moment they were allowed to. Already having shared the stage with Dare, No Pressure and Sunami, as well as being a guest at Adversary’s release show, they are hungry to show the world their music.
The future is looking bright for SWELL, besides making their mark in the hardcore scene, they are selected to play Popronde 2022 (a Dutch travelling festival for new acts to watch).
This is only the beginning, and we as Blindsided Records are more than happy to be on board with the posse from day one.

Check out the brand new video for
‘Mercy Never Wanted Me’, directed by Jarmo Willering here.
‘Mercy Never Wanted Me’ drops on July 29th, 2022 through Blindsided Records.
