The Underground Stage
“The Elevator District are shoulder-nudging, anger-soothing, head-nodding, soul-feeding, grin-inducing, dance-triggering, peace-increasing good times. Butter don’t get this smooth.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157710520008853″]
“I’ve been watching Fait Accompli on and off for years, and tonight they land their blows precisely where they aim. Rich in song, raucous in noise, righteous in anger – this is just how you want *all* your bands served.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157710029044937″]
“No metaphors or fancy shit for this one – Witch Fight are the loudest goddamn thing you’ll hear all year. A weaponised drumkit, RATM rhythms & screaming plus the biggest damn guitar this side of DZ Deathrays. Face. Melted.” Facebook | Instagram Astonishing Tales of… Witch Fight by WITCH FIGHT [flickr_set id=”72157710026175891″]
“We Are Not Robots have always had the skill of scale, making huger structures than a three-piece really should be able to. The scale’s still here tonight, but with an added layer of riot, the sound of enormous buildings collapsing on themselves. A grand explosion.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157710026286697″]
“Chemical Restraint …Holy hell. A two-piece that is mostly made up of Atari Teenage Riot and Bikini Kill is mad enough, but to intersperse it with some jaunty pop is inspired.

“The Laurels absolutely blaze through the set tonight, massive rumbling like the foreshadowing of disaster, the best bits of shoegaze mixed with the best bits of the best times. So much bass! So much groove! Hallelujah. For me, It’s also impossible to separate this set from the fact that it’s the last set of (this […]
“Lorelei make a noise that lurks between the shadows and the blinding light. One minute it’s quieting you to your rest, the next it’s bursting out and going for a vital organ. A fairytale mix – with the pleasurable horror that entails – of electronics, vocal, and guitar.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157709983731531″]
“Nerdlinger make out like they’re a bunch of doofuses, but yeah… nope. It might be wrapped up in snot and sand and a snarky grin but that doesn’t mean this ain’t got talent pouring off its one raised eyebrow. There are precious few bigger grins out there right now than this, fired up and furious […]
“Born Lion don’t write songs, they plan them with protractors and sextants. This whole set is armed with a scalpel, precise and planned and devastatingly effective. Right up against your throat, grinning but really about to kill you stone dead.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157709908084336″]
