Dry Socket at Exchange
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Portland’s latest scathing hardcore attack on the human disease, with Dani’s raging raw banshee vocals leading a full-on assault on all senses. Finally upgraded to the main room, this'll be unmissable, undiluted fury FFO: Gimic, Paint It Black, Gel, Spy, Punitive Damage, Buggin."

Blowout Presents

- Dry Socket -

We had the pleasure of hosting the fast, intense and sharp sounding hardcore quartet that is 'Dry Socket' back in January where they played to a sold out basement at Exchange.

We welcome them back this November to play the upstairs main room at the same venue, bringing with them Bristol's queercore 4-piece 'Uncertainty' for the run.

Tickets sold out real quick last time so don't hang about !

Plus Special Guests : KUTE / Goram
