Surrogates (Minneapolis) + Inside Job (Haarlem) + Controlled Illusion (Amsterdam)

OCCII, Wednesday, June 17 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

SURROGATES (Minneapolis)
If you like some nasty metallic hardcore punk à la WARTHOG, ELECTRIC CHAIR, and FAIRYTALE, you’ll dig this. Lead singer Lulu delivers frantic vocals over crunchy guitars and furious hardcore beats, letting up on the gas exactly zero times throughout the entirety of the show.

INSIDE JOB (Haarlem)
Not sure what’s in the water in Haarlem, but it’s producing younger and gnarlier members of the H-Town hardcore scene. Leave the venue with significantly fewer brain cells than you came in with! From members of Achterlicht and Waterschade, get blasted with intense riffs and D-beat raw energy.

CONTROLLED ILLUSION (Amsterdam)
From the ashes of Blind Ambition, a new band with familiar faces. Melodic fast hardcore that will rip the occii apart.

Rewatched "Surrogates" by Jonathan Mostow

I was hit hard with the starting lines:

"Look at yourselves. Unplug from your chairs, get up and look in the mirror. What you see is how God made you. We’re not meant to experience the world through a machine." - The Prophet

Had to toot about this through a machine but whatever ...
