Before I'm able to recount the proceedings of Tuesday night's show at The Harp Hotel in Wollongong, I feel that it's necessary and/or potentially impertinent to give a brief disclaimer on my feelings towards the perpetual state of punk, hardcore, metal and it's rainbow of incestuous, cross-genre miscellany: Artistically, there are very few havens of ingenuity left in the battered terrain of breakdowns, blast beats and brutality. There is rarely a desire to innovate, but instead an appetite for familiarity and continuously recycled images.
