Hardcore shows are great when you’re in a basement and it’s close to a hundred degrees and humid and you’re soaked in sweat and thinking you want to leave, but then a band that you’ve never heard before starts playing and instantly you’re smiling and waving your fist around in the air and singing along to songs you’re learning on the fly because they’re perfect and the moment is perfect, and then it’s over and you try to tell your friends how great it was, and they don’t really believe you because they did leave, choosing to go to the gas station and get 40s instead of watching Disaster Strikes play the three fucking anthems on their side of this split and more. Bring the Hammer Down = faster and growlier, but the same spirit. Bet they’re fun in a hot basement too.
