It\u2019s the second day of a short Euro tour weekender for tonight\u2019s headlining band; it takes place right here in the midst of a residential area in Sheffield. Here, in this community centre, six hardcore bands are primed and ready to unleash loud noises that are sure to wake the neighbours up.<\/p>\n
Up first is young South England upstarts Blind Authority<\/strong>. Their style and formula is pretty straightforward at this point; brash, heavy hardcore. The band certainly gets the warmest reception as the crowd kicks off from side to side. Blind Authority<\/strong> has the blueprints but it\u2019ll be a while till the creases have been ironed out with growth. For now, they\u2019re on the right track. (3\/5)<\/p>\n Following with a faster hardcore punk approach to the senses, Huddersfield straight edge crew Obstruct<\/strong> provide the right wake-up call. This band is firm, angry and spiteful. Now this is what this reviewer calls potent rage to get the floor moving. (3.5\/5) Despite a cringy name, Irish mob Bang Bros <\/strong>up the tempo and chaos further causing a whirlwind of spin kicks and arm swings. Hidden behind the spite, there\u2019s a charm and wit from the band that makes this set all the more fun. After a unified mass shout along during \u2018Weak!\u2019<\/em> and a blinding cover of Minor Threat\u2019s \u2018Seeing Red\u2019<\/em>, you can\u2019t help but have a grin of satisfaction at this quintet\u2019s unwavering energy. (4\/5)<\/p>\n Featuring members of The Rival Mob<\/strong>, there are no questions asked when confronted by the heavy stylings of Mind Eraser<\/strong>. The atmosphere devolves into a trudge-filled sucker kick to the face. Watching the wrath unfold by the shifts of power violent tenacity to the boot-crushing hardcore on display here is every mosh monster\u2019s dream. \u00a0Suffice to say, if your ears aren\u2019t ringing with happiness then exit left as this isn\u2019t the place for you. (4\/5)<\/p>\n

\nViolent Reaction<\/strong> offers a similar enraged rush of straight-edge hardcore to the floor, but with more added bite and swing. The usual side-to-side patterns and mic grabs occur with fine results. One highlight is an appearance from Rival Mob<\/strong> vocalist\/Mind Eraser<\/strong> drummer Brendan Radigan offering his lungs out for one of the band\u2019s songs received by a rapturous response from the audience.
