I think that most hardcore kids can agree that this year’s line-up wasn’t nearly as good as the one from 2013 or 2014. However, I’ve come to know Ieperfest as a more-than-music-festival, and that’s exactly what I enjoy most about it.

Due to a few cancellations Northcote 2015 started 15 minutes later than planned. Cold Mind became the new opener. Their vocalist seemed to have had a rough Saturday night as he struggled through their set which, don’t get me wrong, was pretty decent. For the crowd it was a Sunday afternoon too.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came out to support us and hang out. We’re very grateful for the quality time we spent with (new) friends and … Continue reading
2014 saw the release of Pianos Become The Teeth’s beautiful, yet very different third album Keep You. A departure from their post-rock/screamo hybrid into more emo-ish territory, completely leaving screams behind in favor of clean vocals. Pianos are on their first European headline tour since 2012, and the sudden style change raises questions like if … Continue reading
