What the f*ck?

anonymous 6/13/2023 9:11:55 AM

this line up sucks.

anonymous 6/13/2023 9:13:07 AM

No KSE, no care.

Randy's hairy spot is actively seeking a 17 year old orifice preferably gender fluid and of course decorated with the very original septum piercing

anonymous 6/13/2023 9:14:48 AM

Proud member of the homosexual community here. Great Lineup.

anonymous 6/13/2023 9:20:53 AM

Testafest or GTFO

anonymous 6/13/2023 9:25:05 AM

Joe Hardcore is the greatest

anonymous 6/13/2023 9:32:32 AM

Mike-Goo is the greatest.

anonymous 6/13/2023 9:53:35 AM

Why outside?. The upstairs downstairs setup was great

anonymous 6/13/2023 9:54:32 AM

Bruce lepage can do double duty and perform as well as clean the bathrooms after the show.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:01:13 AM

Hey you f*cking honk of a webmaster- the listing you put in this article is missing several bands that are clearly listed on the flier. Attention to detail bitch.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:01:41 AM

No Emmure, no care.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:02:15 AM

29 bands listed on flier, 24 bands listed in your dumb article

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:03:21 AM

anonymous 47 minutes ago Proud member of the homosexual community here. >>> Me too! Wanna have sex?

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:03:22 AM

Parkway drive has Saturday off no shows til Sunday. I wonder if they stay after playing Friday to hang out with the black dahlia murder. Oh wait!

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:04:22 AM

Random thoughts: LOL & SMH @ Momentum being on this when they draw di ck. Is the 5'4" manlet vocalist gonna bring his gun cuz he's a pus sy who can't fight without one? Is Momentum gonna beat up Gel on the way to or from this overpriced BS with the same old same old because Gel told a racist homophobe to fu ck off? Terror is on this of course. Scott realized they can't live off 300 cap venues forever. I thought he was done with the whole metalcore world. Bruce LePage from 100 Demons is the New England John Joseph (virulent rightwinger with all the talking points.) You gonna talk more sh it about Hate5Six kinda sorta Bruce? He actually tweeted that his no draw side band got a slot on This Is Hardcore because of nepotism - right, you're an asskissing crony. Absolute LMAO @ Ringworm not even band logo big - hang it up fellas. New England Hardcore & Metal Fest with exactly one real hardcore band on it (Terror.) Outdoors is dumb. Bet it's gonna rain all weekend.

Bruce LePage from 100 Demons is the New England John Joseph (virulent rightwinger with all the talking points.) You gonna talk more sh it about Hate5Six kinda sorta Bruce? He actually tweeted that his no draw side band got a slot on This Is Hardcore because of nepotism - right, you're an asskissing crony. >>> This loser & the even bigger loser from Death Threat CJ Vapes tweeted Sunny's salary like it was a bad thing & they were exposing him as this profiteer when the info is already there. Say what you want about Sunny but hardcore would be fuc ked without him. Dude provides pro videos for free. In return he broadcasts them to everyone. He asks for monetary support & receives it. Too fu cking bad he makes money off it & more than you or your band which most likely isn't even a livelihood. Keep crying when YOU created this Frankenstein monster I guess he is to you right? Crybabies. Pay for a pro shot video then bitch.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:25:22 AM

If anything Sunny's videos has brought kids out to see some of these dinosaur bands that would have been forgotten (even through the dudes a tool)

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:39:26 AM

This isn't your personal blog, guy. You don't have to write an essay on your thoughts. No one is interested.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:40:08 AM

If anything Sunny's videos has brought kids out to see some of these dinosaur bands that would have been forgotten (even through the dudes a tool) >> Yep & the irony is NONE of the dinosaur bands have a problem with him, not even 100 Demons save their Twitter bigmouth vocalist Bruce LePage. All Out War doesn't care cuz their vocalist Mike Score has a career & everyone else have careers too. I'm sure they're like "free pro videos, way more eyes on us, it can only help." Some people are jealous that Sunny is making a living off hardcore.

rick____tocchet 6/13/2023 10:41:23 AM

Fight me while I am in the pit during Hatebreed on Saturday. I will be dressed up in my Pride gear.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:42:03 AM

LMAO @ everyone including the guitarist for brokeass no draw neverwas gets shows on who they're down with Section H8 crying about how Sunny Singh is making a great living if not the greatest living off of hardcore when THEY CREATED THIS FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER. If I'm Sunny I tell everyone ok if you don't want me to film your band don't ask & if you ask it's a fee plus all travel expenses - the farther from home and/or the bigger the band the higher the fee. If you want your video/s taken off my site done but I keep them & you pay a small fee for the video file if you don't have it already as I don't do something for nothing. Or I'd shut down the site & tell every band who had a video on it if you want your videos up let me know. Whoever says put em up is cool. I could write bands to ask too. Or maybe he should just shut it down & be for hire fu ck these crybaby ingrates jealous that he found a way to make a good if not great living in hardcore. I know he has no competition

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:43:47 AM

This isn't your personal blog, guy. You don't have to write an essay on your thoughts. No one is interested. >>> Speak for yourself, guy. You're so not interested you're replying to me dumba ss. Don't like what I wrote or TLDR? Don't read it.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:44:07 AM

Sunny hate5six is a woman abuser and highly likely an incel, hence the aggression towards women. No one cares you film a bunch of shitty ass local bands with no soundboard recording. Just release the Hatebreed set from This is Hardcore and any other known bands and a good sound recording.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:44:58 AM

"Why outside?. The upstairs downstairs setup was great" They've been using the parking lot as a "festival ground" for a few years now. I think it's like 10,000 cap.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:45:34 AM

How much will each band make on this festival though? How many paid attendees each night? How much will they make in merch? How big is the split to the promoter (Joe Hardcore)

rick____tocchet 6/13/2023 10:53:25 AM

But part of me thinks Hatebreed told him to kick rocks and not film their set.

anonymous 6/13/2023 11:07:48 AM

Agreed. But part of me thinks Hatebreed told him to kick rocks and not film their set. I doubt HB did that. Jamey has no problem with Sunny. Jamey's all about making money at what you love to do as long as you don't fu ck with his money. In case anyone hasn't noticed HB record sales & tour attendance have been less with each new release so Hate5Six videos of them could only help them albeit not much. He's more free publicity for them.

anonymous 6/13/2023 11:10:28 AM

How big is the split to the promoter (Joe Hardcore) How much is his is take of This is Hardcore? Since you wanna bring him up.

anonymous 6/13/2023 11:12:44 AM

rick____tocchet 6/13/2023 11:16:24 AM

Never been to the cricket club. Where is that at?

anonymous 6/13/2023 11:19:48 AM

LOL @ Ringworm being listed third to last & Undeath dead last.

anonymous 6/13/2023 11:21:24 AM

Hey Rick remember when you got your ass beat at the cricket club? I remember. Who are you?

anonymous 6/13/2023 11:40:25 AM

Say what you want about Sunny but hardcore would be f*cked without him. hahaha hardcore was fine before he came around...you think he saved it? Are you 17?

anonymous 6/13/2023 11:50:31 AM

Say what you want about Sunny but hardcore would be f*cked without him. hahaha hardcore was fine before he came around...you think he saved it? Are you 17? >> I'm talking all the crappy bands who depend on him.

anonymous 6/13/2023 12:06:52 PM

Ok well you're right about that. The no name bands that will fade in obscurity in 4 years got their shine.

anonymous 6/13/2023 12:31:29 PM

The local New England sheet rocker's union will not be happy about this.

anonymous 6/13/2023 12:48:56 PM

No band depends on sunny lol.

anonymous 6/13/2023 12:53:08 PM

Was Rick the person I threw down the stairs at the BDM/Terror show at Cricket club or was it the Blood for blood/Ragmen show (when BFB was too drunk to play)

anonymous 6/13/2023 12:57:29 PM

The dude writing all the multi-paragraph rants forgot to take his Ritalin today.

anonymous 6/13/2023 1:03:21 PM

^That's turnstile insider's new schtick

anonymous 6/13/2023 2:10:00 PM

^^^ You mean you. You never know when to STFU do you? You have to mention Turnstile 😂

anonymous 6/13/2023 2:10:45 PM

Was Rick the person I threw down the stairs at the BDM/Terror show at Cricket club or was it the Blood for blood/Ragmen show (when BFB was too drunk to play) Again who are you?

anonymous 6/13/2023 2:13:38 PM

No band depends on sunny lol. >>>> You can't be serious. Here are bands who would be hurt by him stopping: Year Of The Knife, Simulakra, Fool's Game, Scarab, Gridiron. Basically bands with cronies, lackeys & goons of Joe Hardcore.

anonymous 6/13/2023 3:05:43 PM

Joe Hardcores random anime rawr xd gf here :3

anonymous 6/13/2023 3:07:38 PM

Man what did hardcore do without sunny. He basically carries hardcore on his back

anonymous 6/13/2023 3:44:37 PM

Would be alot cooler if Tribal Gayz was playing.

anonymous 6/13/2023 8:28:57 PM

Man what did hardcore do without sunny. He basically carries hardcore on his back Hey Stupid we're talking about all the bands & people who swear by the guy not real hardcore. I love how he's suddenly a villain because he's making good if not great money filming hardcore bands when who lets him film hardcore bands? Oh right, those bands. And I oddly haven't seen ONE band complain about him publicly.

anonymous 6/13/2023 10:09:25 PM

Not a villain but holy shit I've never seen a stage sitter with such a f*cking fan club

anonymous 6/14/2023 5:31:02 AM

Total garbage fest except for Dying Fetus

anonymous 6/15/2023 9:11:42 AM

Would go Saturday for Frozen Soul, Terror, Despised Icon, Dying Fetus, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Hatebreed. Laughing at Lamb of God is just the icing on this delicious cake. It's a good lineup. Cry harder pussies.
