GRINDING HALT
Like their countrymen and recent visitors Cathode and Staahaat, Grinding Halt are proof that the Dutch are currently responsible for some of the most crushing hardcore on the planet. A brutal mixture of punk rage and beefy down tuned guitars that's the sonic equivalent of government buildings being demolished by a wrecking ball. Their split lp with Vuur is easily one of the best european records of the last 5 years, and live they will steamroller you. ex members of Shikari and office Killer if you're keeping score. www.myspace.com/wwghd
DRAINLAND
Having spent the year thus far writing new material and adjusting to being a four piece, the 2008 Drainland is a heavier and more dynamic than their initial incarnation. Metallic low end-driven hardcore that erupts into bursts of high speed violence or crawling dirge without the slightest warning.Total aggro.Their debut vinyl release (a split 7" with the UK's Battle of Wolf 359) will be finally available at these gigs.

The Galway gig is also my 31st Birthday. Consequently, I will be hammered from then til the time we get back.
