Back in November, we covered the announcement of Kumite, the hardcore side project led by Grammy-winning Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard. Tonight, Kumite made their live debut at Basement East in Nashville, TN. Sharing the bill were Snooper, Inner Peace, and Second Spirit.

Check out the following footage captured by @bmenchthurlow

 

 

As part of the set, Kumite also covered "AM/PM" by American Nightmare, which you can watch below.

Not good.

This is absolutely terrible.

anonymous 66 days ago

That was awful. Another person who just found out about hardcore trying to jump on the train for cool points. Kinda like lurkcity but at least this chick does have talent just not in this

anonymous 66 days ago

Flat out terrible Good on her for trying but obviously this is NOT good at all.

anonymous 66 days ago

embarrassing

anonymous 66 days ago

Queer. I say that as an ally.

anonymous 66 days ago

Snooper is dope, that chick can get it for sure

anonymous 66 days ago

😐

Sounds like converge light from those clips

anonymous 66 days ago

It doesn't sound anything like converge

anonymous 66 days ago

The chick from Snooper looks alright but nothing to write home about. You need to get you some bitches. This is probably the funniest event in the history of Nashville

anonymous 66 days ago

good god, she is so f*cking fat!

anonymous 66 days ago

I'm just blown away it isn't Gel poison idea hand drawn flyer core

anonymous 66 days ago

She can sing. The screaming may need a little more work but good for her trying some ringing out of her comfort zone.

anonymous 66 days ago

anonymous 1 hour ago She can sing. The screaming may need a little more work but good for her trying some ringing out of her comfort zone. Poppy can sing too but that doesn't mean she needs to scream either.

every mid to large sized city in USA has at least 750 bands that are snooper, with or without the mullet guy.

First show at a packed club with a f*cking light show= hardcore 2025. f*ck these grifters, go back to submitting your albums for Grammy consideration. So punk

anonymous 66 days ago

She better be careful. It's quite possible that Wes's lawyers are drafting a cease and desist and preparing a multi million dollar copy right infringement lawsuit. Lots of emotional pain and suffering. 3x multiplier of the damages.

That was the worst thing I've heard all month. So far.

anonymous 66 days ago

Shitty singer! Shitty band!

anonymous 66 days ago

a little too late to start this virtue signalcore band, trump will be in office in a week

anonymous 66 days ago

I'm sure Kumite is going to grind it out, play local shows, support the local scene and mosh...oh wait nah this will die out in a year after they get some unearned festival spots. REAL HARDCORE SURE

anonymous 66 days ago

Taco Bell Core to Grifter Core. Hardcore needs to die.

anonymous 66 days ago

metalsucks is gonna be stoked!!!!!

anonymous 66 days ago

GOOmite

anonymous 66 days ago

I'd rather watch my grandma get out of the bath tub than watch this

anonymous 66 days ago

I don't care about Wes at all I just comment about him every time I can

anonymous 66 days ago

Looks like meat's back on the menu!

anonymous 66 days ago

Damn baby, what'd you do to your hair? it's called Autumn Sunrise, do you like?

anonymous 66 days ago

but, does she pee on her fans, in concert.-U.T.I. CREW

anonymous 66 days ago

I watch that brass against video from time to time

anonymous 66 days ago

Vocals need reverb holy f*ck

anonymous 66 days ago

This trend of covering American Nightmare has to stop.

anonymous 66 days ago

Even Silverstein covered American Nightmare and it's gay

anonymous 65 days ago

anonymous 65 days ago

This is the band Valley Girl. We were floored by this riveting performance. Bravo Britt!
