This week only! Legendary hardcore punk outfit Headnoise will be making a rare appearance in Kalamazoo at The Ant Hill on Saturday, February 4th with Grand Rapids punk/metal band Rise Into Ruin, Saginaw punks Broken Tooth, and our very own esteemed Ackley Kid. Here’s a rundown of the show:
Headnoise: Since 1994 (yeah they’ve been a band longer than some of you have been alive), Chicago punks Headnoise have annihilated their way through the Midwest and the coasts with their own brand of hardcore punk that strikes any hard music lover’s sweet spot with just the right amount of devastating guitar riffs, hard hitting vocals, and killer bass lines. Oh, and did I mention there’s a chick on vocals? Fans of Bikini Kill, Officer Negative, and Bad Religion might want to check this band out! (photo credit: Headnoise’s facebook)
Rise into Ruin: Get your mosh on with the punkest of the metalheads (or the metalest of the punkheads?) Rise Into Ruin. With dueling vocals and a guitarist prepared to slay all who hears him with his axe of destruction, these guys (and lady!) will bring you to your knees begging for more before the night is out. I know I did something of the sort when I first saw them play. Fans of Gather, XKingdomX, and yes, even Slayer might be interested in RIR.
Broken Tooth: For the punx (up them!) in the crowd who prefer their music hard and fast with no fancy stuff, Broken Tooth is prepared to deliver songs that could be the anthem to a night of rebellion or a day of protesting. You might like these guys if you’re into Operation Ivy, Leftover Crack, or Choking Victim. (photo credit: Broken Tooth’s facebook)
Ackley Kid: You know ‘em, you love ‘em. And if you don’t know ‘em, you will grow to love ‘em. Fellow DIT contributor Zach S. and his boys like playing hard and they like playing fast and your ears will be ringing by the end of their set. Be prepared to shout along! If you like Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, or Title Fight you might also like these righteous dudes. (Photo credit: Ackley Kid’s facebook)
