w/ IKHRAS (UK) + CHEMICAL THREAT (DE) + COLLIDERS (IT) + THESE HANDS + KARNABAHAR

IKHRAS (London/Brighton, UK – Quality Control Records)
‘Brighton and London anti-colonial raging hardcore that features vocals in a mix of Arabic and English, versing on resistance against illegal military occupations and Western exploitation through militarism dominance over other countries. Aggressive, impatient, blunt-force, overwhelming, and filled with a political message against ignorance, as in the track “El Nahr”: “For long as people are occupied / Resistance is justified.” Recommended and vitally current.’ (Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll)

CHEMICAL THREAT (Frankfurt/Cologne/Dortmund, DE – STTW Records)
Chemical Threat is a hardcore punk band from Dortmund, Cologne, and Frankfurt, playing straightforward boots on the ground Hardcore Punk with a slight rock edge since 2023, with a Demo and Split 7″ out on STTW Records. Rhineline Hardcore.

COLLIDERS (North Italy – Do You Care? zine)
Formed in 2024 and started playing shows at the beginning of 2025. Colliders released their first demo last spring and their new 2-tracks promo in September. A strong DIY attitude and love for bands like Backtrack, Spaced, Buggin and more crossover-oriented guitar riffing are the main features. The show in Amsterdam will be the last stop of their first proper tour.

THESE HANDS (Helmond, NL)
No bullshit hardcore.
