Not content to revel in Soundwave’s spectacular line-up for one measly day, Core went interstate last week to see how Sydneysiders roll. And with a mere hour’s slumber to my name after an epic weekend of punk rock, I’ve decided that they..roll…good. Brain fail.Poison The Well were one of the tightest bands of the day but like so many hardcore acts the circle pit that formed front of stage for their set proved more enthralling than the band themselves.
Watching punters deliver brutal, awkward and ridiculous punishment upon one another for a solid half hour was far greater than anything dished out musically last Sunday. Seeing a poor young lass inject herself into the circle pit with naïve enthusiasm and fervour before being swiftly and most spectacularly roundhouse kicked in the face by a bandana-clad 15 year old was quite possibly the best thing these precious, swollen peepers of mine have ever witnessed.
Coming a close second to this amazing moment were standout performances by Dillinger Escape Plan, Alkaline Trio, New Found Glory and Face To Face.

Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me? Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?

- Disclaimer: This is mostly neurotic self-involved drivel about my experiences with music of the "punk rock" persuasion. These musings can also be found in Melbourne's BEAT magazine each week. Please note, I am not an authority on this music, or any other aspect of this apparent 'scene', but I get bored, I like to write AND I get paid to do this so as Wilhelm Scream so aptly put it, 'the kids can eat a big bag of dicks'.
