Night 1: If you were a hardcore fan anytime during the late 90s/early 00s, you more than likely listen to Bane. These Massachusetts hardcore dudes have been a staple for as long as I’ve been listening, and it’s with a heavy heart I walked into the sweaty sold out church basement knowing that it was […]
Bane, Backtrack Live In Philadelphia (4/23/15)
This past Thursday, I headed out to Philadelphia’s small bar Voltage Lounge to see one of my favorite hardcore bands of all time, Bane. The place was decently packed when I got there, and I got there in time to catch Long Island hardcore dudes Backtrack. Backtrack: Backtrack is one of the bigger names in […]
Bouncing Souls, Bane, Blanks 77 Home For The Holidays Night 1 (12/26/14)
Everyone has their holiday traditions, and for me it’s going to Asbury Park after Christmas and seeing my favorite band The Bouncing Souls play with a bunch of solid friends they bring along. Ever since they started this tradition back in 2014, I’ve gone pretty much every year on one of the three or four […]
Ignite, Bane Live In Philly (Setlist and videos 6/19/14)
Starting this summer, it seems like there aren’t as many shows happening in the sweaty and infamous First Unitarian Church basement due to the sweltering heat. Except for shows you KNOW are going to get way too hot. This past Thursday I headed to the basement to catch hardcore dudes Bane who were on tour […]
Bane – Don’t Wait Up (For fans of Comeback Kid, Ten Yard Fight, Gorilla Biscuits)
Massachusetts Bane have been one of the most consistent bands in hardcore and have been for nearly twenty years now. With plenty of EPs, 7-inches, and now releasing their 4th and final full length (their first in 8 years) Don’t Wait Up is some of the best we’ve seen from Bane. Kicking off with “Non-Negotiable”, […]
Bane, Lifeless, Bottom Feeder Live In Delaware (3/28/14)
This past Friday night, I made the trek from Philadelphia down to Wilmington, Delaware’s Harmony Grange to catch one of my favorite hardcore bands around, Bane. I’ve never been to the Harmony Grange before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but when I walked in, it reminded me a lot of Philadelphia’s First Unitarian […]
Bane Live At Kung Fu Necktie (Philadelphia 12/1/13)
I can’t think of a better way to start off my December than to go to two shows in one day. The first one I headed to was a Bane matinee at Philly’s intimate Kung Fu Necktie. The fact that Bane was playing this tiny ass venue was mindblowing, considering they sell out venues three […]
Bane – Holding This Moment (For fans of Comeback Kid, American Nightmare, Youth Of Today)
It’s funny to think about how one of the biggest and well known hardcore bands around today started as a side project. Before Boston’s hardcore band Bane became the behemoth (fuck yeah alliteration) that they are now, they started as a side project from one of the guys in Converge (who was later asked to […]
Punks In Vegas (A Mix)
Long time no see homies! I just got back from a trip to Vegas for the first time in my life, and what a fucking place. I never been there before, and for someone with A.D.D, that place is one giant distraction after another. Pulled all nighters practically every night, my entire trip was pretty […]
