Don't Try at The Croft
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Blowout brings Don’t Try back from the Quebec hinterlands after a truly punishing ‘24 session of crossover hxc belligerence. Ferocious, red-lining, pit-brewing anthems that’re gone in a minute but echo down your earholes for hours, with hometown chainpunk heroes Perp Walk on support. This is vital venom FFO: Cancer Bats, Turnstile, Norma Jean, Hatebreed, Denim & Leather."
