When raw intensity meets sharp creativity, you’ll get HEADSHRINKER. As a cornerstone of the Antwerp scene, they bring a full-spectrum experience with political enrichment at its core. Frontman Thomas’ in-between banter hits just as hard as the music itself. Are you ready for a provocation?

DAY 2 || SATURDAY - MAY 2
Stagetime: 18u00 - 18u25

BAND #11
We have always been a very closed off collective. Maybe, because we are a weird bunch, it comes at no surprise we somehow connect with those other real characters from @the.headshrinker fronted by @zwartjas aka “the man with the moustache” who did/does a ton of art for us.

This is a friendly party. Not your next big fest, ya know.

Pay what you can.

Thanks to @idioteq_com for featuring us on their website, in good company of @bezettestad . Along with the release of our debut record, we mention some local bands and promotors that make our "straight forward punk for a world in turmoil" worth its while.

Yo, we’ve put the record up.
Dig into it on bandcamp or wherever you get your streaming.

It will not be available on Spotify. Look, if heavily profiting off of artists wasn’t bad enough, filling the platform with AI slop and using it’s revenue to invest in AI weapons tech is more than reason enough to just quit the whole thing.

If digital isn’t your jam altogether, you can pick up a vinyl copy come thursday. It’s ok not to stream.

We’ve got a new record coming out any day now. Couple of new recordings on side A, couple of remixed tracks from the past on the flipside. A double sided 12” record in 2025, imagine that.

Unlike any good hardcore release, we already have the discs in hand. Come pick one up on the 13th in Bouckenborgh.

Big thanks to @shieldrecordingsnl , @lonercultrecords and man of mystery @helheim.records.ghent

So we’ve got a record coming out on november 13th. Catch us in Bouckenborgh with Gag and Ingrown. A real good show to slither across the floor like a maniac.

Thursday is basically friday, no excuse to sit this one out. Big thanks to @mendville_shows for hooking it up.

Poster by @schedels_arnovanputte , fine work.

Our release show line up is complete, our friends in @toxic_shock_antwerp , @midnighttattooantwerp & @the.headshrinker are joining us on 15 November at @kafeezapoi together with @dekeldr.be .

🚨 LINE-UP CHANGE! 🚨
Unfortunately Röt Stewart @fuckrotstewart had to cancel because one of their little onesis going in for surgery. Family comes first, and we're sending nothing but love+ strength their way ❤️

But the show must rage on so we've got Headshrinker @the.headshrinker jumping in to tear shit up!

CROSSOVER MADNESS @ANTWERP MUSIC CITY

Poison The Preacher:
From the depths of Colombia, Poison The Preacher rises from the decaying stateof Bogotá . A bunch of music students gathered together to create the perfect mix of thrash, hardcore and crossover thrash, taking all of those genres to the next level of aggresion and anger with a really raw style. Just music to f*ck sh*t up.
For fans of: Power Trip, Enforced, Inhuman Nature
----------
Critical Fear:
The band was founded in 2008 in the city of Iracemápolis, São Paulo, Brazil. From the beginning the goal has always been to play "oldschool" thrash metal with crossover, punk and hardcore influences. With lyrics focused on reality, portraying everyday life in a third world country, full of problems and with extreme social inequality, the first songs were created.
----------
Headshrinker is a hardcore punk band. No marketing fluff… The riffs are chunky, the bass is crunchy, the drums don’tmess around and the vocals are mean as they should.
----------
DOORS: 19:00
FIRST BAND: 20:00
!!!CASH ONLY!!!, BRING FRIENDS, COME EARLY, BUY MERCH, MOSH, NO CUNTS

We’re playing the always excellent Titanic in Herenthout in about two weeks. Opening up the show for @stercorebe and @open.veins.seattle . A good one for all the crust rockers out there.

Big thanks to the mastermind @nicoooh_peeters
