JOE HARDCORE BENFIT SHOW THIS FRIDAY IN PHILLY w/ FLOORPUNHC, COLDWORLD, THE WRONG SIDE, PEGASUS & MORE!

I would hate to tell anyone to not come to the show I am doing in Brooklyn this Friday, BUT if your not coming to Brooklyn I would strongly suggest going to this gig below


I have always had great respect for the group of people doing punk/hardcore shows in Philadelphia. Sean, Andy, Greg, Tony P and Robby Redcheeks have always been a great inspiration. I feel like they were my blueprint when I first started doing shows in Brooklyn and New Jersey. But you can't name all of those guys with out talking about Joe Hardcore. Dude loves hardcore, he lives for it. When you get to know Joe, you see how much he cares about doing shows, no matter how many times you have seen him thrown some kid off his stage.

So Joe has fallen on some hard time and his friends Dave Sausage, Robert Wilson and crew put together a an AWSOME benefit show for him this Friday. Words can't describe how bumed I am I can't be there on Friday for the gig and to support Joe. Besides who doesn't like Floorpunch, and moshing for that matter.

Gig info:

COLD WORLD
FLOORPUNCH
THE WRONGSIDE
PEGASUS
FACE REALITY
AGITATOR
BORN ANNOYING

Friday, November 4th – Doors 7:30pm - $15

From the release a few weeks ago…

Last week, Joe "Hardcore" Mckay was arrested in Philadelphia while driving in his car on the way to work on his friend's house. He was unaware that his passenger was carrying illegal drugs and despite the fact that both he and the passenger admitted that he was unaware of what was in the car at the time, he was charged with a felony possession charge. His lawyer is confident that the case will not stand in court, yet as we all know, good lawyers cost money. Outside of the shows that Joe books, he is a family man with 3 kids and child support to pay. His job is seasonal and with all the recent rain, has been in and out of work over the past 2 months. Needless to say, this is a terrible time for him and his loved ones at home to have to stress over the pending charges and scrape together money for a lawyer.

Joe is someone I consider to be one of my closest and best friends so when I heard about what happened I wanted to help out anyway I could. The thing that made the most sense to me was to do a show. He did everything he could to convince me that we could think of other alternatives but after a lot of arguing I got my way and was left with less than 3 weeks to put something together. With the help of Robby Redcheeks and Dave Sausage, the lineup that we created is:

COLD WORLD
FLOORPUNCH
THE WRONGSIDE
PEGASUS
FACE REALITY
AGITATOR

These bands were all generous enough to agree to play when I asked and I could not be more thankful. Floorpunch and The Wrongside arent exactly active, Cold World flew Dan in from England, Face Reality is making the drive from Detroit, and Agitator is set to open it all up. It proves how much people care about Joe and what he has done for Philly/hardcore kids in general over the last couple of years. Anyone that has been to a show here has seen him/probably ended up in a conversation with him and should know how much hardcore has meant to him and how much he puts into making everything the best it can be. Now when he's in need, it's time to give some back.

I wanna say thank you to Linas Garsys for doing an unreal job on the prints that Robby is going to screen and a sincere thanks to bands for playing and labels that are contributing things to be raffled off at the show-deathwish, backtoback,harvcore, b9, triple b, youngblood and react! There will also be assorted other things for sale at the show, shirts, prints, posters,etc. This will be something that is truly special to be a part of and I couldn't be more happy to see the hardcore community show their support and be able to see an incredible show at the same time. Also, thanks to LIAM and everyone at broad street for letting us have the event at their venue for 100 percent free just because they wanted to help as much as possible/not take any money in return for their kindness

If you want to help but can't make it to the show, we have set up a paypal where you can donate.

#OCCUPYOFC - YOUNG OFFENDERS, THE RIVAL MOB, AIRFIX KITS & GIVE this weekend!

Sometimes I do shows for bands I like, sometimes I do shows for bands I am friends with and eventually I like them. But the YOUNG OFFENDERS are a different animal all together. I already dug the few 7"s they had out but they were Insta-Friends as soon as we met. Best/Worst dudes and great band too. Punk on the poppier side, modernly melodic. Not unlike The Wipers, or The Observers. They will be out here with their Bay Area counterparts AIRFIX KITS, I can't stop listening to their 7" on Dirtnap records. It's a banger. I urge you to make it out to their shows this weekend in Brooklyn. They have never toured or played out on the east coast before and I doubt they will be back.

  

Don't forget on Saturday YOUNG OFFENDERS and AIRFIX KITS are playing with some the finest Hardcore Bands the east coast has to offer. Somehow THE RIVAL MOB got duped into playing, and they are bringing along GIVE from DC and the most brutal HOAX from Western Mass.

 

Here is all the info for the gigs see you then….
