BIB (Omaha - USA)
https://bibhc.bandcamp.com
What are BIB known for? Frantic, keep you on your toes, but equally poetic and self-reflective, hardcore punk. Since 2015 BIB have been crafting their own vibe, perhaps symptomatic of being from Omaha and not having to adhere to any local scene weighed down by a large history. Having toured extensively across USA and Europe, BIB match their audio energy with manic shows to boot, all done the DIY way. After a demo, 3 EPs, live tape and an LP, there’s still so much to explore and show who’s boss at quick rhythm changes, unusual song structures and dreamy soundscapes all packing a massive punch. Their sound have a gritty feel, littered with a berserk urgency wrapped into lyrics that surround the ideas of life, death and the circle that it brings us through.
OUST (Amsterdam/Nijmegen)
https://oustpunx.bandcamp.com
Oust is a band with 5 individuals that know eachother for years trough the magical world of DIY punk bands. We are based in Amsterdam and Nijmegen. There is plenty of stuff to be angry about these days and we like to put that energy in our music, we do not believe in happy endings or a good outcome we are going straight into the abyss. That doesnt mean we love to play the music we play, we started out as a very basic straight forward dbeat band but as those things go music evolves and we might get weirder and weirder by the day. We do like to stick close to our crusty hardcore souls.
NO PRE SALE - ONLY DOOR SALE

Squint (USA) + Feverchild (BE) | Amsterdam - the poster by https://www.instagram.com/bureaugutter/
SQUINT (post-hardcore / alternative rock, St. Louis, Missouri, USA)
Squint is a band from St. Louis, Missouri. Established in 2022, the band consists of Brennen Wilkinson (vocals), Ian O'Leary (guitar), David Shanle (guitar), Jake Lindsay (bass), and Wil McCarthy (drums). Together, they bring a fresh, authentic take on hardcore, drawing inspiration from 90s hardcore, punk, Brit Pop, and grunge, creating a sound uniquely their own.
Squint's musical style draws from a diverse range of inspirations. Rooted in 90s hardcore and alternative rock, their music reflects elements of Everclear, Superchunk, and Archers of Loaf. The Squint sound incorporates McCarthy’s powerful drumming alongside O’Leary and Shanle’s driving, melodic guitar riffs. Lindsay’s bass flushes out the low-end. Wilkinson's abrasive, yet melodic vocals add a unique energy, influenced by bands like Sugar, Turning Point, and Fu**ed Up.
Squint is at the forefront of a new wave of hardcore bands poised to break into the mainstream, akin to trailblazers like Drug Church, Militarie Gun, Scowl, and Turnstile. Their music's raw intensity and profound lyrics connect with audiences, positioning Squint as a rising star in hardcore.
In an era where the hardcore genre is growing and evolving, Squint stands as a testament to its enduring power. With their dedication to their craft and a sound that resonates across generations, Squint is poised to make a lasting impact on the hardcore scene and beyond. Keep an eye on Squint; their musical journey is just beginning.
FEVERCHILD (post-hardcore / emo, Ghent, Belgium)
Feverchild sounds like it came out in the mid–late '90s, during the boom of post-hardcore and emo bands. As common as this phrase is, rarely does it accurately describe new music, it's sort of an easy, go-to reference, but that's not the case for Feverchild. Their music literally sounds like it came out in the '90s and you probably wouldn't be able to tell otherwise. Once you look a little more into the band though, it begins to make sense how the bands perfectly captured this era.
Many members of Feverchild came from other Belgium hardcore bands, like Minded Fury, Force, and Animal Club, plus their records was recorded and produced by Oathbreaker's, Gilles Demolder. With this foundation in hardcore—like most bands of that era (Texas Is The Reason, Far Apart, Sunny Day Real Estate, etc.)—and a strong love for the genre, Feverchild’s music is full of clean/heavy guitars and catchy vocal melodies that easily get stuck in your head.
*Exclusive Dutch show
