 ve performance that is punk in attitude\, open in emotion and radical in h
 onesty\; and Berlin based ZANJEER زنجیر\, who set audiences ablaze wi
 th their blistering hardcore assault\, through which they give voice to th

 63\n3534 AR Utrecht\nhttps://dbstudio.nl/(opens in new tab)\n\n\n\n \n\nSn
 ake Eater مارخور\nWith grindy\, metal-tinged hardcore riffs\, a brok
 en-up buzzsaw guitar tone from gear that survived a house fire\, relentles
 s d-beat and raw punk energy\, Snake Eater مارخور delivers furious\,
  abrasive sounds. Inspired by Pakistani-Punjabi poetry and musical traditi
 ons\, their lyrics channel an uncompromising anti-imperialist message. Fie
 rce and confrontational\, Snake Eater is the sound of the screws horns of 
 war against colonialism worldwide\, blending hardcore punk\, grind core an
 d metal into an unrelenting sonic maelstrom.\n\nGimic\nUrgent\, restless a
 nd dynamic\, Gimic's music twists and turns at every corner\, resembling a
  band of four people who live and breathe DIY Punk. The rhythm section is 
 locked in and in perfect harmony whilst the guitar tone is clean and sharp
 \, but it’s the blood-curdling vocals that give it that confrontational 
 and emotional edge. Imagine Minutemen's hardcore era mixed with the angula
 r precision of math rock and the impeccable musicianship of No Means No.\n
 \nBOMBSTRAP\n"For fans of No Trend\, Total Abuse and dead healthcare CEO
 ’s”\, four piece terror squad BOMBSTRAP plays nihilistic hardcore root
 ed in black alchemy and ultraviolence. Born in the anarchistic community o
 f Poortgebouw in Rotterdam\, over the past couple of years they unleashed 
 a tidal wave of shows through DIY stages in the Netherlands and beyond. Th
 eir debut album Big Enemy is a sonic bullet: caustic\, explosive hardcore 
 drowned in nihilism and charged with anarchic alchemy aimed straight at th
 e heart of a corrupt society.\n\nThe Woman\nWith a distinct mix of alterna
 tive and experimental music\, gritty poetry and visual art\, The Woman cre
 ates an immersive performance that is punk in attitude\, open in emotion a
 nd radical in honesty. Led by Sheyda Abolfath\, the project tells the melo
 dramatic story of the modern man in search of a soul\, while portraying th
 e world as an ugly\, dirty and elusive place where beauty can be found for
  those who listen.\n\nBeaBop\nEmerging from Amsterdam thriving improvised 
 music scene\, BeaBop is a new quartet where noise\, jazz\, punk\, improvis
 ation\, dissociation\, hunger and whimsy collide in exhilarating ways. Bri
 nging together four adventurous musicians for the local-international scen
 e - vocalist Beatrice Sberna\, bassist Omer Brandt\, guitarist Tina Czerni
 k and drummer Aviv Maya - the project is rooted in a community of artists 
 constantly crossing paths through a wide range of bands and collaborations
 .\n\nEmirhan X\nKnown for his energetic live performances and distinctive 
 sound\, Emirhan X combines raw rap with influences from punk\, boom bap an
 d a touch of experimental music. His lyrics balance confident bravado\, di
 sarming vulnerability and politically charged messages that challenge hims
 elf and his listeners to face real emotions. With his unique vocal sound\,
  the rapper and producer effortlessly switches between powerful raps and c
 ompelling vocal lines\, making his music both intense and accessible.\n\nS
 ublux\nA hardcore punk band with a spooky anarcho twist\, Sublux move betw
 een unhinged speed\, ominous doom and heavy emotional depth with big riffs
 \, chaotic synths\, a pummelling rhythm section and piercing banshee vocal
 s. Their line-up is primarily women\, primarily Asian and two-thirds wheel
 chair users\; the band's name itself refers to a symptom of their shared d
 isability. Their lyrics explore grief and rage towards a societal history 
 of selfishness and cruelty whilst also standing as a testament to the pers
 istence of those that society deems undesirable: "No matter how much socie
 ty tries to extinguish us\, we're still here."\n\nThe Earwurms\nConceptual
  punk band The Earwurms wiggle their way into your ears with savory words 
 and a shebang of sound. Born within the Montessori Lyceum of Amsterdam\, t
 hey made their way into the Dutch DIY and activist stages\, while over the
  years their identity expanded beyond music to encompass stage outfits and
  various visual elements. Drawing from no wave\, riot girrrl\, punk\, math
  rock and art rock\, their music explores the joy and understanding found 
 in the banal.\n\nZANJEER زنجیر\nHardcore punk band ZANJEER (زنجی
 ر\, Urdu for "chain") channels the fury of global injustice through fast\
 , uncompromising hardcore\, crust and d-beat sung in Urdu. Vocalist Dozakh
 i was a prominent figure of Lahore's DIY underground\, spending years orga
 nizing shows in basements and improvised spaces and fronting bands in a sc
 ene with few venues\, before relocating to Germany in 2019 in search of an
  alternative to the religious fundamentalism\, patriarchal norms\, and spa
 rse scene back home. In recent years\, the band sharpened its attack confr
 onting the genocide in Gaza head-on and the everyday racism and Islamophob
 ia in Europe\, fusing raw hardcore touchstones with rhythmic ideas from SW
 ANA music traditions.\n\nSarsour صرصور\nFast and angry hardcore punk 
 band from Syria and Palestine. Founded this year in Bristol\, Sarsour صر
 صور bring their Arabic anthems and abrasive sounds to totally wired.\n\
