On a nice, sunny Saturday evening (May 19th) we gathered at Dynamo in Eindhoven (NL) for a promising night filled with good music.

Review: The Beautiful Ones – Birth of Desire
First thing that will catch your attention about Birth of Desire is its beautiful cover shot of the fairly naked lady lying on the bed. Arizona’s The Beautiful Ones have put out their debut release Birth of Desire on 6131 Records, and this record holds a lot more than just a pretty cover. The Beautiful … Continue reading

They already released an … Continue reading

When comparing this record to their previous release called Enlightenment Is Dead, Clarity is a good improvement and exceeded our expectations. Every song on this five-track record is well thought-out and the titles already describe the … Continue reading

Review: Every Time I Die – Ex Lives
“I want to be dead with my friends” is not a line which seems to mark a vivid return of one of hardcore’s most innovative bands of the past decade. Then again, maybe ‘vivid’ never was a point of reference for Every Time I Die. Although ETID’s sound has always been fast and dynamic, Keith … Continue reading
