KAKIHARA, LEGENDS, EDINBURGH, MAY 27 2023

Brought to us by the lovely RED CRUST folks, an evening of shouty hardcore and hardcore adjacent noises, featuring:

Line-up:

VIOLENT: One-man electro-industrial hardcore, dedicating his set to the memory of a friend who took his own life.

ALL DEEP ENDS: An unexpected treat. Banjo-led hardcore/country punk mash-up. Very fast, huge fun.

JOHANNA REY: High velocity hardcore from Birmingham. Not unusually for bands of this ilk, the singer spent most of his time in amongst the crowd, which is why he only makes fleeting appearances in the video.

ROW OF ASHES: London trio, out on tour with JOHANNA REY and KAKIHARA. A colossal blend of hardcore, doom and post-metal. I'd be more than happy to see them back in Edinburgh any time. My personal favourite from a top class line-up.

KAKIHARA: Local beatdown kings out touring and stopping off on their way to Glasgow

GILMORE TRAIL, LEGENDS, EDINBURGH, JULY 3 2022

 Line-up:

GILMORE TRAIL: London post-rockers on tour, playing Edinburgh for the first(?) time, and doing it very nicely.

WE CAME FROM THE NORTH: Local post-rock veterans. You should all know what they look like by now.

Incidentally, I normally upload a single video from each band at each gig I attend. I have 27 WCFTN videos in my archive. There have been at least 2 WCFTN gigs where I didn't, for various reasons, record a video. So, I have seen them now nearly 30 times since 2012.

OPHANIM: Local metal duo, back in the pre-vocals days. I think this will have been the first time I saw them, but it certainly won't be the last...
