FLOWER, TRAIDORA, CHAMPAYNE and VOLATILE IDEA at Exchange
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Their concussion from Unrest fest lingers, but Shitty Futures will not be stopped. Raging on with monumental doom-crust from NYC’s Flower, the return of Traidora’s visceral one-woman BM d-beat + Champayñe’s sexy and eggy hardcore bounce. Bring the stench FFO: Antisect, Rudimentary Peni, Hellshock, Anti-Product, Witch Hunt."

SHITTY FUTURES presents: LIVE PUNK MUSICS IN YOUR TOWN!!!

FLOWER (USA)
Caustic and crusty anarcho-punk straight outta NYC. Their first LP Hardly a Dream topped a load of our best of 2023 lists, and we can’t wait for them to come through Bristol on their first UK tour! FFO: Nausea, Sacrilege etc
