lmk if money is an issue, come anyways and make some new friends!
nihilism holds a special place in my heart! the band is made up of really dope and passionate individuals who are exceedingly creative and talented musicians. they were also the first group of people to form a hardcore band after we started booking shows :-) come celebrate their work & send them off properly!
yo! we just dropped our spring promo with two new songs and a path cover. wonderful midwest straight edge soldiers @chancexallen of @rtrtapes and @ciudadseba of @acallforunity are helping us put out tapes. these two hardworking individuals do a lot of really cool stuff for hardcore, check it out!
Robert Keyser of @prospect.room did a fantastic job of recording and mixing these songs, he’s the best! Mixed by Will of Dead Air studios.
We are so incredibly grateful to have an infinite amount of people to thank. This won’t even be the half of it.
Thank you to each and everyone who participates in making Madison Hardcore what it is. Thank you to anyone who considers & questions their relationship with substance use. Thank you to JD from @feelthebladefanzine Val of @ignorantpeoplefanzine ASHER & POSI JOHN, Madison XVX, @extortmwhc + @patronxsaints , the @lettertomyself.wi youth crew, August & Breana & Nyla, Giancarlo & Mauricio, Adrenochrome, the Madison Metalcore team, and everyone who seeks to make the world a better place. It starts with you!
