Dubstep Warriors Listen Up!



Hiring, firing, perspiring

I went to a sick show on Saturday night in Blackburn, The River Card, Bays, Times Together, xCurraheex and Heartless played. All from pretty much the same area...Manchester, Blackburn and Stoke. I'm still buzzing from it, I haven't been to a show like that since Summer, when I went to see Shook Ones in LDN. I can honestly say the night, the bands, the crowd and the atmosphere as a whole has thoroughly inspired me. Hardcore (punk) is such an amazing thing to be part of, apart from when you get the little emos or fresh boys who don't know anything about it. They just turn up to a show and throw themselves into people, X up and cause annoyance. Back to the actual point though, Saturday night made me want to do something about all the bad shit that's happened in the past 3 years. It's all playing on my mind and I've just let it swallow me up. Sticking with the poster theme, I'm going to let Barbara Kruger's influence give me a nudge in the right direction.
