Pester - Apathetic Man LP
Mean-spirited hardcore punk from Porto, Portugal.
Pester is a hardcore punk band from Porto made up of four members, also involved in other bands such as Ideal Victim, Idle Hand, Repugnator, and others no strangers to the underground! Their first release was the album Apathetic Man, issued on cassette in 2023 - now dragged back out and pressed on limited 180g gatefold vinyl via Black Train Records.
Musically, the band draws inspiration from 1980s hardcore, both American and European, with influences from bands such as Negative Approach, Dr. Know, Negazione, Wretched, Bad Brains, Poison Idea, and Black Flag.
In terms of themes, the band brings a more nihilistic and manic edge to the subgenre, addressing subjects such as paranoia, hatred, mental health issues, alienation, and psychological conflict in general.
The release show takes place this Friday, April 17th, at Woodstock 69 in Porto, starting at 21:30, with 98 Axe and NICXRAGE.
Apathetic Man now available on Vinyl!
You can get yours by coming to the release show on the 17th of April for a special price!
If you can't come but you still want it, buy it on Bandcamp or message us to avoid Bandcamp fees!
