The punk roots of hardcore are evident in
@grift.hxc : in their lyricism, sound, and even performance style. At the link in our bio, Emo Night founder Cassandra Roxburgh (
@doomed_oracle ) sits down with Zulian Joubert and Will Wright of
@grift.hxc to talk about bringing hardcore back to its punk roots, ‘Hate City’, SA’s underground music renaissance, and forming a band during the crypto/NFT crash.
We’re lucky and grateful to have
@grift.hxc play with us in JHB on Saturday 2 May at
@good_omens_melville ! Tickets are in our bio, if, like us, you just can’t bear to miss them 🎟️
